Christians should be up in arms! When a group of their own are going to picket a funeral?

Question

I wrote yesterday about the beheading of Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus just outside of Winnipeg Manitoba yesterday. How even part of his body was eaten. What concerns me the most is the lack of attention my post question got yesterday out side of five respond's which was greatfully appreciated. I think all you Christians should get off your high horses and pray for the family of Tim McLean who may have to endure a hash of Christians calling themselves The Westboro Baptist Church based in Topeka Kan. led by Fred Phelps. Who his daughter Shirly Phelps-Roper says are still coming to Winnipeg to protest the funeral. Shirly Phelps-Roper confirmed last night one team was turned away at the Canadian border yesterday. However she said a second team was on course to arrive in Winnipeg in time for tomorrow's funeral.

She said the only way they won't get through is if they are strip-searched and they find Westboro Baptist Church tattoos on their butts. If you want read my question yesterday you will find out more.

I ask all you Christians to pray and have place in your heart for the

McLean family. And to all Christians who will attend church on Sunday give a thought to the McLean family.

And all us others wether we be atheist or of an other following please take the time and hold Tim to your mind and thoughts.

I thank you all from my heart. Today my music fell silent.

Answer 1

The Westboro Baptis Church is a bunch of b******s. We all know that. I don't think it's fair for you to say "a group of their own." Westboro Babtists  are not typical Christians. Pretty much only the people in their congregation of less than 100 people, who are all related by marriage and/or blood are the only ones that agree with them.

You should try seeing it from their perspective. They think that God is punishing us for putting up with abortion and g**s and such. To them, they're just trying to help.

Some people only know hate, and even though, they have good intentions, they only way they can express that is through hateful actions.

The people in the Westboro Baptist Church would just find some other way to be horrible, if they didn't have religion, and weren't able to protest funerals.

I completely agree that Shirly Phelps-Roper is a horrible person, and she does make all Christians look bad, but people need to realize that she's not doing it because she's a Christian, she's doing it because she's just a *****, God has nothing to do with it.

PETA is a bunch of b******s too. But they're not in it for the animal's really. They just like attention, and like to p**s people off.

Also, this is not a question. This is yahooAnswers. How can I give you a proper answer, which is the whole point of this site, if you don't ask a question???

I'm agnostic by the way, dunno if it matters, just thought I'd say.

Answer 2

Aggressive sects such as Westboro Baptists should be forbidden where membership should ultimately be punished. I hope proper actions are taken to remove these confused beings from the funeral McLean.

Answer 3

i feel very badly for the man's family, i am a christian, the vast majority of christians are very decent people, the ones from that church are idiots who i do not align myself with, and i take no responsibility for their total lack of taste and judgement.   you are a white man, hitler was a white man, are you aligned with him?

i appreciate your thoughts of condolences, but your underlying purpose seems to be to attack christians, shame on you for using this man's horrible death for your cause.

Answer 4

I am sorry, I do not understand. Why are christians protesting the funeral of Tim McLean? He did nothing wrong.  

Answer 5

As I read about this I was horrified. At first I thought it happened in some out of the way uncivilized place, nope.   I am pagan I will send love and good energy to the family of this poor unfortunate man, and his family. What is wrong with those people from the Westboro Baptist Church.  They sound dangerous.

Answer 6

I am so sick of that church trying to make people's mourning even more difficult. It is a cult and should be treated as such and not as a reflection of God.

Answer 7

you just need to click on the edit button.

Answer 8

I am certain in my heart that the vast majority of christians do not recognize the Westboro Baptists as christians.
