buddahj Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Why hasn't anyone picketed outside their church? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 These people are not Baptist. They're radicals that claim to be baptist. Check out a documentary called Fall From Grace. It's on Netflix, and you can stream it. Very good film. http://www.fallfromgracemovie.net/ I got into that same argument with someone who said, "Just goes to show you, there's extremists in every religion". Which, of course, is true, but may not apply here and referring to them as "extremist Baptists" may not be fair to Baptists. After all, it's not like the Baptists or anyone else has any say in what a bunch of nut-jobs want to call themselves. Now, I'm very much on-record for feeling the church, in general, should not be able to dodge some of the horrific or sleazy things done by more main-stream and accepted branches. However, that doesn't mean that they deserve to be associated with every a-hole who decides to borrow their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Eventhough the Westboro Baptist Church is extreme in their protesting, alot of pastors in my state preach the same way from the pulpit. You just don't see the entire church going out with signs like these. There is one church, however, that does use signs, but instead of it being "God hates fags." their signs are the traditional "Repent or go to hell." stuff.
