Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I asked a friend who I have talked with about this many times - this was their reply US Supreme Court rules in favor of Westboro Baptist Church! Although I hate what they are saying, I will fight to death for them to be able to say it. Being able to speak out and stand up for what you believe in is one of the fundamental rights that keep this country strong.Having said that, I really dislike what they say and do. It is very hurtful to everyone. I fail to understand why anyone would want to deliberately hurt anyone, especially total strangers. It must be terribly sad for them to have so little love in their lives or individual dreams that they have the time or the desire to hurt so many others. Matching hateful behavior with hateful behavior only creates hateful behavior. However, matching wisdom, patience and love with a strong ability to control ones temper could crack the foundation of whatever has a hold on them. They claim that their beliefs come from the Bible. If someone, who knows it very well, basically matched them verse for verse, they could prove their beliefs didn't not follow Jesus's teachings as they claim. I am not Christian. But I know that Jesus walked the path of love, wisdom and tolerance. Those who choose to create pain in others do not follow him, but those of , who in fact never knew Jesus.Theresa Courage isn't the lack of fear, but the ability to set it aside and focus on what is truly important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well initially didn't know Jesus, but met Him on the road to Damascus, and it wasa revelation. He became a true believer, and much of the New Testament is about 'stravels far and wide to preach the Good News.love,KateTo: MSers Life egroup <MSersLife >Sent: Thu, March 3, 2011 7:18:26 AMSubject: US Supreme Court rules in favor of Westboro Baptist Church!
