I cringe knowing that my hometown of Grand Rapids has the tendency of getting right-winged assholes to live and even visit our town.
Sadly, one of those groups paid a visit to GR earlier today.
The Westboro Baptist Church, aka the "God Hates Fags" people came to town with their signs reading "God Still Hates Fags" and others. They protested at Grand Valley State University and Union High School, where they sent 1,000 students this note: "from the cradle, your parents, preachers and teachers have fed you a steady diet of perversions, half-truths and outright lies about the Lord God Almighty."
Why WBC came to town is a mystery, but they are known for traveling coast to coast with their little signs bashing homosexuality and their definition of sin. But thankfully, even here in conservative GR, people lined the streets to protest their hypocrisy.
One of the signs that bashed WBC read "Jesus never said that". Guess what? IT'S TRUE! For centuries, assholes have been professionals of misinterpreting the Bible and using it to trash gays, women and people of color. The end result? People converting to other religions and atheism because they sure as hell ain't going to a place loaded with assholes when they die. The truth is that I think if you're a Christian, you need to leave the judging to the man himself. Going around the country with your stupid ass signs only scare people away from God, not the other way around.
But then again, if the WBC protested my funeral, I would have done my job.
