^ Win.

TBH I think it should be considered a point of pride. If anything they should invite the WBC in and have one of them deliver a eulogy. Fuck, if I played in Slayer my DREAM would be to have some Christian whackjob protesting my funeral.

True. Slayer had such an effect on them that they decided to picket Jeff Hanneman's funeral.

I just think its so disrespectful to fucking picket a funeral. Friends and family are there to pay respect and say goodbye to a loved one. Maybe Jeff would have laughed at them but emotions are high at funerals and no one wants to hear how bad of a person their loved one was or your retarded ass beliefs.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Of course it is. But the best reaction isn't to get mad and yell at them. that's what they're counting on. Throw it all backwards. Put on of 'em up on the podium, laugh and cheer at their hate. Show the world the irony of the Christian group spewing rage while the heavy metal friends and family applaud and smile.

The person has nothing to do with the church organization. Which is why I do not understand why they would picket the person's funeral and target them, the person's beliefs and life style is none of their business and has nothing to do with them. It's pretty sad the people at the church have nothing better to do with their time than picket some guy's funeral. If I was at the funeral I would not even respond to the church in any way.

"nothing better"? That's what they DO. That's how they live. The WBC travels the country picketing funerals and hoping to sucker someone into doing something so they can sue them and make enough money for the next travel. Then the whole thing keeps them in the spotlight, giving the church free publicity better than sending out press releases ever could.

This is true. They don't have enough intelligence to do anything but try to ruin people's lives by picketing funerals.

Their damn legion of lawyers strongarm and manipulate into winning money so that they may continue their Bible-fueled perpetration of hatred and intolerance

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Exactly. Literally the only way for them to go away is for them to be completely ignored so they can't get any lawsuit money or if they all die in a fire. Those are the only two choices.

I vote for the latter.

 

[AllShallFall]

I vote for the latter.

Agreed. Who's gonna buy the matches?

 

[Avigrus]

Agreed. Who's gonna buy the matches?

I'll spring for those - in a generous mood.

 

[matt schrauben]

I have plenty of charcoal lighter fluid at home. I can bring that.

 

[realshows]

so whatever happened with this? did they not show up?

 

[death-metal]

They flaked out.

The best response is the simplest: sodomize them.
