TOPEKA, Kan. -- A controversial Kansas church is changing its protest plan after an incident in Oklahoma last week.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church said they want revenge after someone slashed the tires on their van during visit to protest a military funeral in McAlester. The group said it plans to now target funerals for Oklahoma children.

The group said it planned to picket the funeral of an 8-year-old Burneyville girl who died in an accident at the Love County Fairgrounds last week, although no protesters were seen near the services. The group said it would be in Owasso on Thursday to protest the funeral of a girl who died in a car crash.

The Westboro Baptist Church's website now reads "God Hates Oklahoma" and "The Lord curses them by killing Oklahoma's children and casting them into hell. Thank God for more dead children in Oklahoma."

As a religious person, can I just say that this is blasphemy of the highest order? Fred Phelps, I hope you suffer oblivion for this.

As I've said before, they're more for drawing attention to themselves than anything else. I don't believe for a minute that they are sincere in their "faith" and if I'm wrong, they are one seriously disturbed group of assholes. They're attention whores and that's all they are.

[wolfgangravenna]

I'm really...confused...about this.

Slashing tires means all Oklahoma children will burn in hell?

AM I READING THIS RIGHT???

[matante]

My theory is that they're demons from hell that need to feed from the hate of the living, so they do everything to get as much of it as possible.

Fred thinks he's God. Therefore, if you anger him, you anger god.

[dasfuchs]

Far as I'm concerned, should someone off Phelps and his clan, I wouldn't shed a tear...and possibly encourage a celebration for getting a group of douche bags what they deserve

[Admiral Lithp]

There isn't even a point to their "preaching." There's no coherent message except "God hates you."

So what? Fuck 'im & fuck off, Phelps.

[Shane for Wax]

Oh well that's just childish. Someone slashed our tires, now we're going to protest children's funerals.

[Her3tiK]

But God hates kids. How else do you explain the League of Kiddie Diddlers priests?

[Shane for Wax]

Oh and there's this too apparently: WBC to picket the U.S. Marine Corps in McAlester, OK to remind this nation that when God himself fights against Doomed america, none shall stand in His way. The disobedient sinners in the U.S. Marine Corps fit in perfectly with the other Hellbound reprobates in McAlester, OK, where they vandalized the van of the Lord's messengers. Now, the Lord doles out special curses on Oklahoma for their abuse of His saints just as He does the U.S. Marines!

And the WBC sinks to another new low.

Let's hope whoever slashed their tires last time does it again.

Then they'll start picketing animal cemetaries? GOD HATES DOGS!

[toothygrin]

Two things.

1. I'm sure it's been discussed before, but could WBC possibly be the most-effective, most-dedicated group of Poes in the entire world?
2. (assuming the above is not true) - my friend at work gave me a great thought: one I use whenever a person like Phelps talks. "If you think that everyone you meet is an asshole, it *isn't* them... there's only one common denominator here."

[Admiral Lithp]

I don't agree with 2, actually (big surprise).

[dakotabob]

Maybe they need to start slashing throats instead of tyres.
