This past week in San Jose, California, at an American Idol concert, "Hate" was the vibe outside. A group of protesters from a Topeka, Kansas, church, named Westboro Baptist, were directing their hateful chants towards homosexuality. Their website, God Hates Fags.com explains their view points and beliefs......
Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America's enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world's last hope. read more about WBC
Michael Sarver was also present at the American Idol concert. Lambert And Sarver's friendship was a direct effect of American Idol, and according to StarPulse.com, Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, "Funny how people think it's a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don't mind these people, we are a strong family."
Disappointment is what I feel towards the Westboro Baptist Church. Their website is dedicated to nothing more then hate. Isn't the purpose of a church to spread love and understanding, and proclaim Jesus, and love their fellow man? This is not what their web site promotes. They travel all over the United States proclaiming "HATE" in Gods name. I don't know about their "god", but my God does not hate and would never tell his "children" to go out and preach for the devil
Now while this is only one of a few hate derived "so called" churches, it still reminds me that their are some ignorant, uneducated, bigots out there, who have nothing better to do then to humiliate and belittle other people for the choices and lifestyles they live. The thought of people who are crusading for religious reasons, when in fact are doing nothing more then breeding hate, is disturbing. The fact that hate could consume a person let alone a group is nothing new in America, or the rest of the world.
In the end, we do live in the United States of America, and as Americans we have certain rights. One of which is to express our opinions, even when ours might not match what other people believe or feel. Freedom, that is what we are all entitled to, so disagreeing with a cause like this is not going to make it vanish. The "hate" oriented cause will still continue to exist. We do however have the option to let it be known that we disagree, and inform others that hate never wins. And it is not acceptable. Take a stand and refuse to let hate win, refuse to let hate consume your life. After all, this is America. We have the right to be free. Free from Hate.
