One of the blogs I lurk on read has a post about this horrific organization, the Westboro Baptist Church, which has a theology that is, in summary, stomach-wrenching and unthinkable, with abhorrent practices to match.
They are protesting in NYC today – at a synagogue – and will be in your neighborhood soon, too, and the synagogue where they are hatemongering is launching a campaign to raise money for the causes that are apparently worthy of such hatred.
Please, consider contributing to this effort. Reading their (the hate-monger) website is sickening.
If you cannot contribute, please pray. Our God is one of grace, love, righteous anger, and righteous judgement, but it is His prerogative, not ours, to deign what is abhorrent and not. Certainly the protests here – with signs like, “God hates you”, “God hates the USA”, and others that pronounce who, not what, the Lord “hates” – are not only horrifying, but not Biblical. In the slightest.
God is sovereign. Full stop. Period. And any attempt we make to usurp that is simply an abomination.

Yeah they made it on TV over here as well, Louis Theroux did one of his documentaries about them.
Some of them wanted to come over here, our government told them they would be turned away at the border.

And I wanted to add that you are one example of what is so right with this world even though we may be small in numbers.
