God Hates Reno

phelpshatesreno.jpg

According to the Westboro Baptist Church Phelps clan, God hates Reno. If the members of the Westboro church serve as examples of what God loves, well, let’s just say I knew there was a reason I moved here. Clearly, the Phelps clan did not feel the love while visiting the Biggest Little City during their recent macabre protest thanks to the Patriot Guard and now they want revenge!

“Reno is a dangerous place to be, with the curse of God upon Reno,” the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., said in a news release this week. “God hates Reno, Nevada.”

You can just feel the christian love, can’t you?

OF COURSE God hates Reno!
They just figured that out?
Floods, Fires, Plagues of Crickets and Californians? Cold and Heat? Endless Wind? Jim Gibbons AND Dean Heller?
All we need is a freaking volcano.

Hey now, some of those crickets are alright.

I don’t know why Rev. Fred is hiding those sweet, pretty
lips he has with that bushy moustache!

And ol’ Fred and his inbreds can fuck right off. My wife and I abandoned Christianity years ago, and we’re still better Christians than the Phelpsians.

And if they come back, I’ll be there, waiting. With a baseball bat.

Okay, I’ve gotta respond to those last two.

If there’s one thing Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. taught us, it was this: violence can never defeat violence. Whether the violence one faces is physical, spritual, political, or verbal, it’s answer is rarely easy or painless, but it is never violent.

I’m not a Christian or a theologian, so I can speak only as an amateur. Nonetheless, I suspect that the folks from the Westboro Church have no natural defense against sincere Christian love.

However, they can probably withstand all the fuck yous and baseball bats you throw at them.

Packherd, you just don’t get it. Knowing that their targets won’t come after them only emboldens them. The only thing those inbreds understand is fear. That’s how ol’ Fred keeps them in line. Turn that against them, and you can make ‘em run and hide like the cockroaches they are. If you want to use nonviolence against them, here’s a neat idea: if the weather at an event they picket is inclement, call Child Protective Services (or whatever they call it here in Nevada) and file a complaint that they’re abusing the children in their group by making them stand outside in said inclement weather holding up their little “God Hates Fags” signs. Even in a putatively conservtive state like this, the State will probably fly into action at that, and the sight of the cops coming to take their kids away from them will probably make the inbreds run like hell and never come back.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go drive a few nails into my baseball bat.

Well, you are just plain wrong on this, force_ten.

And, Packherd right on the mark.

Now, please burn that baseball bat!

Besides, Rev. Fred is simply too pretty to mark up.
Never in my 57 years have I felt…well, hot…for
a guy. Never, ever. (Probably not the sincere Christian
love Packherd is mentioning, but I’m from the non-dualistic,
Tantric school where the profane and sacred are one!)

That attempt at humor has failed. But a flaming spiked baseball bat upside ol’ Fred’s cranium? Now that dog’ll hunt.

force_ten,

Using CPS, or any other agency, to publicly shame a person is still violence–emotional violence.

I have no doubt that attempted manslaughter would be a painful experience for the good Reverend. Unfortunately, he shares your belief that other men are in posession of a will weaker than his own. That is, he’s certain that he can frighten you (and fear is another form of violence) into submitting to his worldview.

To impose yourself upon him, you would use a sword. To impose himself upon you, he would use the Word of God. He will win that challenge every single time.

Hell, he knows this. He’s waiting, patiently, like the foul monster that he is, for you to make your ill-advised move. He wants you–he dares you!–to make him a martyr.

Above link for everyone to ponder.

Now, to resume with sharing my own current plight,
i.e. massive distress and cognitive dissonance over
finding myself falling for a guy for the first time in
my life, I suspect that Rev. Fred himself might be
having this problem in some way or other also. His
way of dealing with it is to organize these demented
demonstrations. My way, i guess, is just to surrender
to it…..and, in this case, hope for the day when
I can get Rev. Fred to shave so I can (gulp) kiss his
pretty lips!

force_ten, explain how you’re any different from those idiots. Wishing violence on someone for their beliefs? How progressive of you.

The whole reason why they said ‘God hates Reno’ is because the Reno police department failed to protect three of their members when they were protesting our last fallen soldier’s funeral.

Haven’t they ever seen Reno 911… geez, what do they expect?

perhaps they are paid by the government to smokescreen what’s really going on in this world? Too bad they didn’t have a stockpile of arsonary so the government has reason to go ‘Waco’ on them.

For a video of WBC’s thrwarted protest in Reno, go to YouTube, “God Hates Reno.”

I’m pissed at Reno because the Cal-Neva not only cheapened their Ham’n'e99’s for 0.99, they got rid of it. Burn in the bowels of brimstone.

No, I really do hate Reno.

In fact, I hate this place.

Only 3 of these nuts came to Bri’s memorial. Hopefully that means they are losing steam. Better yet, that they’re leaving Reno for good.
