That's a sign of the times if there ever was one.

Wow imagine a group of bikers helping families be able to put their loved ones to rest without having to see the folks from Westboro Baptist Church with their hate filled picket signs.

They are not living the example of Jesus. Have you really seen their website?

I consider the Westboro Baptist Church a radical Christian group that gives Christians a bad rap. I'm of no religious affiliation but I know there are good Christians and Muslims in this world.

Short of some bombs and cut off heads, the Westboro Baptist Church to Christianity is basically what Al Qaeda is to Islam. Both groups are detrimental to peace between religions and the world.

That hateful group of people showed up on the anniversary of the worst massacre on a college campus in my hometown.

They certainly do give Christians a bad name and I am stunned there are Christians out there who think they are being persecuted because they say they are Christian.

Yes there are good Christians and Muslims in this world!

What? The supernatural is backed by archeology? Any book of fiction can have historically accurate information in it!

I guess if we could dismiss the supernatural references and those referring to gods, then what we are left with might be ok up to a point.

Well they are certainly more righteous than the Westboro hate group...By defending and agreeing with what the WBC says, you are saying that you wish thousands more had died on 9/11, and the rest of the hateful statements... You are no Christian, any more than they are, and they are pure evil.

The Patriot Guard Riders are NOT an outlaw biker group...

Quote:
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.

We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.

Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:

1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.

We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.

The Patriot Guard is about as "straight" a group as there is. Romans6, you show your bigotry toward motorcyclists in general with your comment. You are looking so hard for signs that the "end times" are nigh that it is seriously affecting your tenuous grip on reality.
