Hey all,
I just followed a link from the new ILENN -
International LEGO Enthusiasts News Network to
this article about the
funeral services for a soldier killed in Iraq. This was linked on ILENN because
in remembering his son, the father noted: “He used to be a real Lego-maniac,” he
said. “And we have all his Legos from when he was a kid.”
Anyway, right after that statement, there are a few paragraphs about a protest
by the “Reverend” Fred Phelps’ group. You know, these are the jerks that show
up any time someone gay dies and hold up the “God hates homos” (or worse) signs.
Apparently they have somehow decided that problems in Iraq are a punishment on
America for homosexuals or something.
Anyway, I’m generally on the conservative side of the political aisle and I’m a
religious person, and I am uncomfortable with some of the actions of some
gay-rights organizations, so I suppose some people might expect me to support
this type of jerk. But those of us who are conservative and Christian really
need to stand up and denounce these people. If God hates anyone, it really must
be those who take His name and paste it onto their own hate-filled causes.
Anyway, I rarely peek into the off-topic.debate forum, but this just really
irked me this morning.
