Another Entry in the Get-a-Life Category

Okay, this is totally ridiculous.

The folks from Westboro Baptist Church–you know, Fred Phelp’s God hates fags group–picked their sorry asses up from Kansas and drove to Oklahoma to protest…

A gay-rights group? No.

An important gay activist? No.

A monument to gay people? No.

A gay church? No.

The opening of a gay bar? No.

A gay marriage? No.

A 17-year old high school kid.

His crime (other than being gay, of course)? He was interviewed by the Washington Post in a article on how persecuted gay people are in the Bible Belt. But Phelps decided the kid wasn’t being persecuted enough and sent his goons 300 miles to protest the fact that this kid exists.

Is it really possible that this “Christian” church has already finished all of Christ’s other work?

Are there no hungry people in this Utopia who could be given to eat?

No children who need shoes, clothes, or schooling?

No dying who need the comfort of religion in their last moments?

No widows? no orphans? none who are sick? none who mourn?

No more least of our brethren needing…whatsoever?

I didn’t know that after Jesus healed the lepers and the blind man and the lady with the hemmorage, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, and preached his father’s word, he had “Go pick on the gay kid 300 miles away” left on his To-Do list.

Get a firetrucking life!
