Well that's anticlimactic.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Quote:On last night’s show Hills informed viewers that since making the announcement he has been contacted by many people who say they will contribute money towards flying West Borough Baptist Church members to Iraq.

However after a week of WBC attacking Hills and posting abusive images directed at Muslims on Twitter, he opted to take the high road and decided instead to donate all the money raised for the flights to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a charity Robin Williams was a supporter of.

The comedian said he wanted to ‘spread love instead of hate’ through the donation, which was made in the name of the late actor.

Probably for the best.

I remember them saying that, when Saddam was still in power, they were allowed to protest there.

Westboro isn't Literalist (or Inerrant in their view towards Scripture) so I'm still not seeing much difference between them, and for instance, Methodists.

Just a different flavor of cherry picking of which verses to emphasize and which ones to ignore.

Hell, their damn spokeswoman wears make-up and looks like a whore !! How Biblical can they be ??


However, those creepy big ass spiders they have in Iraq I might root for if the spiders eat some Westboro genitalia . . .
