Can a mod please change the title of this to "Westburo Baptist" or "WBC" instead of just Church? Church doesn't do it nearly enough justice.

On the other hand, I think they went to Austrailia before, and activities like theirs were banned. I could be thinking of something else, though. Laws have been made in at least two or three places in the USA barring funeral protests purely because of these people.

This too (I was going to mention it, but didn't want to be too wordy at the time). They are going to be in for quite the wake up call when they are outside the relatively tolerant of their bullshit behavior US.

For example, any time a christian mentions how the bible is so against homosexuality, bring up leviticus.

Oh I'd love you to try and prove this.

Prove what? Prove that he can bring up Leviticus?

I wouldn't say that, they've been treated pretty shittily by most of the people in the US too (as they should). It's just that the law is going to have more of an ability to get involved.

Yeah, what Mhurron?

I refuse to let Fred Phelps take up a perfectly good TLA spot in my head. "WBC" is reserved. For practically anything else.

That's what I was referring to. The law says that they can be intolerant assholes if they want to.

Those links are not clickable. I demand clickable links!

I'm still not understanding what Mhurron is doubtful of someone's ability to prove.

Re: Church to protest Heath Ledger funeral.

Actually, I wonder if someone in the states attacked them if they could get away with it on the grounds of fighting words.

Probably not, but I could definitely see a judge or jury finding some way to bend the law against the WBC, if given the opportunity.

So gentlemen, purposefully or not.

any time a christian mentions how the bible is so against homosexuality, bring up leviticus.

The obvious implication being that something written in Leviticus lends support to the writings of the Bible not being against Homosexuality.

Re: Church to protest Heath Ledger funeral.

I think you whooshed yourself, Mhurron. The implication was that Leviticus is full of bullshit that the WBC and other idiots don't acknowledge, but they are first in line to point to the verse that could be interpreted as saying GAY = BAD.

Murphie already explained it, but that's quite the logical disconnect. Did you completely miss the context? Why in the world would I bring up something to argue against their point, when I'm talking about how silly the rules they choose to ignore and the rules they choose to follow are?

Aussies aren't typically ones to fuck with either.
