Here's some good news:


The Arizona Legislature has approved emergency legislation to head off picketing by a Topeka, Kan., church at the funeral service for a 9-year-old girl who was killed during Saturday's shooting in Tucson. Lawmakers Ban Protests Near Tucson Funerals - Phoenix News Story - KPHO Phoenix
Good news! There are laws against stalking people - so I think there should be laws against "crashing funerals".

Westboro Baptist church

I think that 'they' are doing a very good job of doing that.

You are not answering the question: why are you trying to make it sound like these people are typical believers? Why do you call them fundamental Christians, when you full well know they are not. It is pretty obvious that it is not the Westboro people you hate, it is the fundamtal Christians you hate.

Here are your words: Once again - the Freakish Face of Christian Fundamentalism Prepares to Bite it's prey . .

I did answer your question. You just did not like the answer. Perhaps you should ask yourself why it bothers you for me to call the Westboro Baptist folks "Fundamentalist Christians". That is what they are... biblical literalists who teach that God is hateful. If you disagree with them, why are you bothered by my shining the light on their error?
