Sage Stallone Funeral Will Be Picketed By Westboro Baptist Church
Someone has died, and you know what that means: The Westboro Baptist Church are planning a protest. The there’s-always-a-reason-to-protest group recently announced that they’ll be picketing the funeral of Sage Stallone, the 36-year-old son of Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Czak.
Margie Phelps, the daughter of controversial preacher Fred Phelps, has been using Twitter to recruit people to Stallone’s funeral.
So why picket Sage Stallone’s funeral? Well, the Westboro Baptist Church has never had a hard time finding a reason to stage a protest. They’ve protested military funerals, the funerals of LGBT youths, and fashion week in NYC.
The hate group is protesting Sage’s funeral because his father, Sylvester Stallone, has been married three times.
Margie Phelps writes:
“Thrice-married rebel taught his son to mock God. #picketfuneral.”
The Huffington Post reports that Sylvester Stallone has been married three times. He had Sage, his first child, with his first wife, Sashha Czack. The two were married in 1975 and were divorced a decade later. In 1985 Sly married actress Brigitte Nielsen and in 1997 he married Jennifer Flavin.
Phelps added:
“Adulterous dad brought wrath of God on son.
#BloodOnDadsHands#picketfuneral… Tell @TheSlyStallone to mourn for his sins, not pimp out son’s dead body to more proud sin!”
Since Sage’s death, rumors have been circulating about how he died. The Westboro Baptist church is the only group blaming Sly’s multiple wives for Sage’s death but rumors have been circulating that the young Stallone overdosed or that he committed suicide. Sylvester has asked the media to stop speculating about his son’s death until the results of the autopsy are returned.
The Inquisitr reported earlier this week that the investigation into Sage Stallone’s death was recently transferred robbery homicide.

I hope if anyone pickets Sage Stallones funeral the mafia will be waiting for them on the other side. These people that picket funerals have no heart.

This is a church! Trying to protest a funeral because of what the father's done and assuming he overdosed or killed himself…Number one is this not called JUDGING, and that is a sin in itself. Number two, so his dad has been married 3 times, even a murderer can be forgiven for their sin. I myself have been married twice and I believe the Lord has forgiven me, especially for my first marriage where I was married for 7 1/2 yrs. and was beat to a bloody pulp pretty much every day especially towards the end. I thank God I wasn't killed, even though there was days I wish I was…So this church is saying I should have stayed married to that creep. I would like to know how many members of this so called church is divorced, and who are married and cheated or still cheating on their spouse…You people have some nerve to say what is right and wrong when you are doing wrong. DO YOU NOT WELCOME SINNERS THROUGH YOUR DOORS! Even Jesus said he will turn no one away…You need to be clean around your own doorsteps instead of protesting a funeral. May God Help You All!

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID!, ITS LIKE I SAID BEFORE THE ARE NO GOOD CHURCHES ANYMORE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE THEM.THE BIBLE ALSO SAIDS DOn't JUDGE PEOPLE, AND A LOT OF SO CALLED CHRISTAINS DOES IT ALL THE TIME.AND THAT's WHY A LOT OF PEPOLE DOn't GO TO CHURCH, NOT BECAUSE THEY DOn't WANT TO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD, BUT BECAUSE OF POEPLE LIKE THEM.

clearly this particular group(I hesitate to call them church) likes celebrity and seek celebrity. `if they spent more time reading the bible, they might find guidance contradicting leading their lives that way…

the bible lists 5 reasons one may be excused from a marriage and abuse is definitely one. it is not a real marriage in the eyes of god if that is taking place. now way for us to know what went on in Stallone's marriages; that remains between him and god…

i am recalling his second wife was on a show called celebrity rehab, so had a substance addiction, which again is an excuse to be out of a marriage according to the bible…

I am incensed! I am a Jesus follower and I do not like the fact that Christianity is presented to the world in this fashion. This chuch is so wrong! No judgement, only love! Please people, look to Jesus, not to this church. Jesus would never condone this activity! My savior is loving, merciful and compassionate. Not every church is like this.

Oh no, don't let them do that. If they actually read the bible they would truly have reason to hate and be evil bigots for god. It's their silly religion that tells them to do these things already.

This is why bAPTISTS are NOT a "church", they have no ecclesiology, meaning, each person and group is unto itself, has no teachings therefore no credibility only in their own mind. They are registered as "Southern Baptist Convention" and have no religious exemption, only apply for "tax exempt non-profit" organization. THUS THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS, OR A CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION; THE SAME AS THE NFL, yes, the NFL is tax exempt non-profit! It shocked me last week when I learned that! (I didn't hear Obama threaten to tax the NFL!)
