Phelps and Co. to protest Dio funeral By Nick Spacek, Friday, May. 21 2010 @ 11:59AM
​While we hate having to give the Westboro Baptist Church any further press, the following quote regarding the church's upcoming protest at Ronnie James Dio's funeral gave us pause: WBC to picket this public memorial to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short. You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right?
Yep -- it just goes to show you that if you engage in occult activities, you'll die before your time.
So, look out, Ozzy Osbourne (61), Jimmy Page (66), Bruce Dickinson (51), Eric Bloom (65), Alice Cooper (62), and Gene Simmons (60) -- your days are numbered!
(of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) funny he never called them that. He said it was from his grandma she used to do that to ward off evil spirits.. The people like WBC turned it (and everything else they can) into the devil. Look for the devil and ye shall find him..
These churches are hypocrits...The bible says love the sinner but hate the sin...They should be saying a prayer for R.J.D. instead of being a sinner and pretesting his funeral...Nobody but Ronnie's family knows if he took Christ as his savor and asked for forgiveness before he died and if he did God will welcome him with open arms. This church is protesting a possible reborn Christian.
The comments on that blog were hilarious; I especially liked this one:
the fact that someone would protest at a funeral just shows you have no life...get one....with any luck at all you'll be struck by lightening while protesting....morons
I'd settle for the protesters being sucked up by a freak tornado.
devout radical Christians and about as much fun as devout radical Muslims. Maybe we could lock them both in a room for a couple of days with some pointy objects
yea... those signs really do not accomplish anything,.. except get the people offended to laugh alittle while the WBC still terrorize and offend others. I mean come on... makes some REAL freakin signs man! Why not make some like these:
Phelps suks my dirty socks Phelps eats monkey poo Phelps dreams of little boys Phelps is GAY Phelps is Captain of homo's Grim Reaper wants Phelps God Hates Westboro Baptist Church Westboro Baptist Church women smell like monkey dong Westboro Baptist Church members are ugly Westboro Baptist Church members are child molesters Westboro Baptist Church members love SATAN and so on...
I guess they would have to not offend anyone else (ie: Phelps is GAY) but IMO... I think it would not matter in this case.
Apparently WBC supports itself by inciting violence against its members and then suing the perpetrators. The worst thing you can do is take them seriously and confront them head-on.
THAT's what I thought was cool about the San Francisco counter-protest, hard as it is to imagine I'd agree with ANYTHING that came out of San Francisco.
I agree about keeping it cool but surely we can venture much closer to the border line then those S.F. signs did. They were far too wimpy and meaningless especially to the WBC.
