For those of you who are not familiar with the Westboro Church, they are a hate filled group. The are known for holding rallies in which they hold signs that make such statements as "God Hates Fags" and "Pray for AIDS." The church believes that AIDS is a blessing from God, that gay men and women are sinners and that 9/11 was also a blessing from God. As a Christian woman this particular group hits a nerve. Their views are heartbreaking.
This a group that will actually attend funerals of gay men or army soldiers. They raise their hand held signs and insist that God hates those who have passed.
What I found interesting about Womanist Musing's post is that it revealed that the KKK have just recently posted that they are not affiliated with or nor do they wish to be affiliated with Westboro.
I'm very curious as to why the KKK are so disgusted with the practices of Westboro as they themselves are a cruel organization.
Womanist Musing's linked to the KKK's website. I didn't know that's where I was being linked to initially but once I got there I decided to check out there FAQ (frequently asked questions) section. I was not filled with anger but sadness. Deep sadness that such philosophies exist within the hearts of human beings.
I pray for the Westboro Church and I pray for the KKK. May hearts turn.
