Seattle Queer Community Protests Against Fred Phelps / Westboro Baptist Church Spreading Hate

[johndoe1880]

haha both sides are freaks

[animemonarch888]

Lets just have his head and be done with it.

[TheMinistryOfDefense]

Hmmmmm? Satanists posing as religious people to make the church look bad, while on the other hand, the poop penis pack will probably join them in an after party along with the satanic media, camera's off. Interesting.

Counter-protests against WBC are about the most futile exercises imaginable. This organization WANTS people to counter-protest so it can soak up as much publicity and attention it can soak up. The key is to stop feeding this desperate group and leave it to starve itself out of existence. Thinking Christians neither support nor condone this group, and neither should anyone else. A wonderful man named Mike Vinson, who believes in the eventual salvation of all, is much more Bible-literate.

I love how the geeks are all busting out with their "celebrate diversity" shit, when mainstream gay people are the most intolerant closed minded fucks ever.

So totaly låll check yourself, you are a middle class joke, Also if you are so "proud of yourself", why give a fuck about a bunch of retards who are living out their own personal psychosis, Yeah you sure showed the retard picketers with your anti picketing-picketing, I bet they are running scared now, you WON THE BATTLE,sheesh get a grip.

[elvez1231]

There is not a single word in the Bible that tells anyone to pass judgement or express hatred towards another human being. Not a single word. If you say there is - you are a LIAR. In my mind-it is very clear-MaryWaterton is not God. The Phelps family and their followers are not God. I believe in the freedom of expression. These assholes-in my opinion-have a right to express their opinions-but they do not have a right to pass judgement on anyone-ever. Do they claim to be without sin themselves?

[snoman99991]

Well while I applaud the message you're saying (because it is much more human and empathetic which is lovely), the cop-out is that the god of the bible does in fact threaten such judgment, and supposedly will act upon it.

That itself is a good reason not to believe, but I am thankful that you are a more moderate person who does not take such things so literally as to be someone being demonstrated against in this video.

If I could have every Christian be like you, I'd be a lot happier.

[bobbypatz]

@elvez1231 yes, in the old testament its all about hate, murder, rape, slavery , wars and fear..just like any religion

[GretchenDawntreader]

I hate WBC and love my LGBT peeps, but you show up to something like this in leather chaps, it just provides them with their next propaganda video. Not that showing up in business suits would stop them...

[alexthem123]

0:13-0:18 hahahhahaha the stereotypical gay voice

[MaryWaterton]

The real haters are the people who tell fags that is okay to practice their sin. Jesus (ie, God) said it Himself:

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." -- Leviticus 18:22

"The Son of Man (Jesus) shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." -- Matthew 13:41-42

[PaineLover]

"The real haters are the people who tell fags that is okay to practice their sin. "

You really bored there in Wichita, Shirley? Get a life, you ignorant fuck! You bible thumpers invented HATE. You're the scum of the earth ignorants

[donejustright]

Mary....

Do you support slavery?

Do you believe you are the "property" of your husband?

Do you wear clothing made of two different fibers?

Have you ever stoned a person to death for working on the sabbath?

How many of these passages APPLY to you? Are you just full of self righteous indignation or merely a hypocrite? Cuz ONE of these two things are true....

[MaryWaterton]

The dietary and ceremonial laws of Moses were repealed by God in Romans & Colossians. You would know that if you weren't such a Bible-illiterate blaspheming God-hater, more interested in wallowing in your sin like a pig in mud than in understanding what God has to say.

[donejustright]

Mary, your religious beliefs actually endorse that kind of a response? ROFLMFAO, not a wonder your "God" needs a collection plate....Have you spent enough money to buy that kind of forgiveness?

Also, is slavery dietary or ceremonial?

Working on the sabbath dietary or ceremonial?

Being property of your husband, same aisle as your Cheerio's?

[MaryWaterton]

All these questions are answered in the Bible. I suggest you read it with the sincere intention of understanding God's viewpoint. HE said

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" (Isaiah 55:8)

Your total ignorance of the Bible says to me that you are just another smirking fag, skipping straight to Hell, mocking God along the way.

"Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Turn or burn, your choice.

[donejustright]

Mary...

Deuteronomy 22 13-21

I am NOT ignorant where the bible is concerned. So, if you think you are debating with an ignorant fag, don't sell yourself so short. You ignorant tight asses have been beating me and my people over the head with it for years, OF COURSE I have read it.

Does your bible answer why your "All Knowing, All Perfect God" changes his mind and his law? Where did the bible come from? How does that relate to the Dead Sea Scrolls? Why are you not Muslim or Buddist?

[donejustright]

Isn't it more likely that you believe what you believe, not because you believe it, but rather because you were taught it? That isn't the same thing as actually believing it. Hitler called that "the big lie"

Ever read the Koran? Ever considered muslim beliefs might be more aligned with your own after a careful study of the muslim religion? Yeah, I bet you havent. I bet you just radically support that which was practically spoon fed you, and label any discourse from that as "ignorant".

[GretchenDawntreader]

if heaven is full of people like you, I choose hell. If it existed, which of course it doesn't. Religion is such a quaint notion.

There's one side and one side only in this WBC vs gays argument that's "making a joyful noise." And it ain't the people holding the "god hates fags" signs who are just preaching hate and division.

How can you justify supporting the message of the WBC, and calling those who disagree "haters?" There is no group with as hateful a message or delivery than WBC.

[MaryWaterton]

GretchenDawntreader - "if heaven is full of people like you, I choose hell" <<< I'm sure God can arrange that. In fact, keep going the direction you are going, and you will get there. Spend eternity in Hell with the rapists, murders, pedophiles, adulterers, fornicators, and homosexuals that you admire so much. God doesn't lower His standards for anyone. God requires two things: you must be born again (John 3:7) and you must repent (Luke 13:3).

[GretchenDawntreader]

missing the point, you and people like you paint a picture of a vengeful hateful god who hates various classes of people (conveniently aligned with the personal prejudices of whoever is speaking on behalf of god at the time) and yet you expect people are going to say "wow, I'm so inspired by this message of hatred and vengeance, I'm signing up right away!"

The current face of American christianity is repugnant. You are your own worst advertizement, so don't be surprised by low sales.

[MaryWaterton]

GretchenDawntreader - God offers His love to those who repent & obey, and promises His hate to those who refuse to repent & obey. This is what Jesus taught in the Bible. You are under the false impression that my job is to sell you Christianity like it was a vacuum cleaner. My only obligation is to tell you the TRUTH. The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit. You see, it doesn't matter whether I say it sweet or harsh ... if your heart is arrogant toward God, you will never repent & turn to Him.

[GretchenDawntreader]

Your "TRUTH" about this imaginary "God" that you feel a duty to convey holds as much intellectual weight as if you were a fan of JRR Tolkien and were citing the Silmarillion to warn me of the dangers of being tempted by Rings of Power forged by Sauron. I mean, it's IN the BOOK so it's the TRUTH, right?

Rational people do not base their world view on fairy tales.

[BeetzartMusic]

God doesn't exist. End of discussion.

[bobbypatz]

@BeetzartMusic thanks

[snoman99991]

Ah, but blaspheming against the holy spirit or disobeying your parents is clearly an equal crime to murder, rape, and hate crimes.

I love the way you think. And to think I thought the world was becoming more progressive.

Damn. (whoops, blasphemy, darn. But isn't blasphemy a victimless crime?)

; )

[hackensac]

@MaryWaterton truely those words really helped out the Phelps? Why didn't Fred himself come up here if he started this comittee? Ask youself that

[redshift71388]

The Bible says the Earth is flat, has four corners and does not move. Wooo...

[GretchenDawntreader]

glad to hear you get your ideas from a book written by a bunch of guys who've been dead for 2000 years.

When you are ready to join the rest of us in the modern era, let us know. In the meantime, you'll understand if we work to minimize the damage your ancient superstitions causes in our present.

Sincerely,

rational people everywhere.

[mstep3]

i've seen a lot of queer's, but seattle has some of the weirdest queer's i've ever seen...........

i think the only queer's that might be able to top seattle are the fag's from san francisco...........

[KnutFreakKid]

I've always wanted to do a counter protest like this to the WBC... But instead, I just wanted to tell them all that I love them, just to see how they react.

And I love how after tigerstriped (the gentleman who passes by at  0:14- 0:18) made that suggestion that they start playing Donna Summer, this video has "I Feel Love" playing in the background! XD

[SavedByGraceAdam]

Get back in your fucking closets.

[Willjk89]

BIGOT!

[xmen123321]

i hate these people stay the fuck out of our city you stupid haters. im so pissed i was there the day the where protesting if i had realized that they where there i would have given the a few choice words

[TAKEHEED1]

The real Haters are the people that whore around then go kill their babies, and the people that don't protest against the killing of 1.3M babies each year in the usa, along with the who promote & say it's choice. So some people hold a few signS about you guys who like to put your penis up someone else anal canal. think about that, THATS NASTY

[xmen123321]

whats wrong wih gays. and abortion.

[tigerstriped]

that would be me, making that suggestion that we burst out into disco.

[KnutFreakKid]

(to tigerstriped:)

I really think you should have! It would have been awesome and fabulously gay (in a good way, of course)! xP

[Ravenreel]

I protested against them when they came to my town :) After a plane crash killed 51 people, they came to try and make us feel even worse.

[bballstar9000]

keep up the good work i would be there helping if i was closer ;)

[hackensac]

Where R U?
