    Church ordered to pay $10.9 million for funeral protest

    Good. That's no way to treat a veteran.

    How so very, very, Typically "christian".

    no doubt someone will spew forth the rehearsed rhetoric of "they aren't real christians" as if they actually opposed it when it was happening instead of sitting back and doing nothing while the scum done it in the name of their god.

    You've got such a great point stOx. How many "christians" were there at that protest? And how many petitions were signed by other "christians" in support of those guys activities?

    You never seem to miss an opportunity to bag Christianity. I never heard you bag the other religions though. Or is it just Christianity you have a problem with?

    Are you saying that no demonstration of support for it equals a protest against it?

    So why did all you moderate christians stay so quiet?

    And yes i do have a particular problem with christians and christianity. Mostly because it's the one i hear most about where i live.

    While I do agree with you, I sure hope you have the same attitude when a few muslims do something to not include all muslims into the mix.

    But you are pretty good at that aren't you? Word comes to mind, hypocrite.

    Did you have an active protest against it?

    I personally think the people doing it were nuts and totally out of line.

    Worth the settled amount though, I don't think so.

    How am i going to protest something done in another country?

    I would have done if it was here, And certainly if it was done in the name of something i believed in.

    (GWorld is banned for some reason)

    No idea on Gtech.
    There are ways to protest other than actually being there ;)

    Most however would call these people nuts, Christians included.

    Only the radicals would support such a cause.

    Yeah looks that way, I checked his last posts for a clue but nothing out of the ordinary.

    No idea what happened.

    Just when we get one good member back (guru-seo) we lose another. :(

    Another small victory for the "crazy gang" eh d16man?

    Very much agreed. I absolutely hate these people. They harass and taunt military families, homosexuals and just about anyone/group that doesn't agree with them.

    At one time, I had heard that Hell's Angels were going to military funerals to counter these nuts. No idea if that is still taking place. I'd personally like to see UFC members show up to counter them. I wouldn't shed a single tear if these nuts got their asses kicked.

    I couldn't agree more... I'd love to see that...

    When I saw the story on the news, I was pissed... It actually crossed my mind to drive up there and start going to the funerals for that purpose... I don't think I'd spend much time in jail for starting a fight in that situation...

    I wouldn't either.

    What these people have to do with Christianity?

    ....Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."......

    This is totally against Christianity.

    Freedom of speech?

    Their message sucks, completely intolerant but what about the freedom of speech?
