Westboro Baptist Church Plans To Picket Memorial, Funerals For Colorado Shooting Victims

The Westboro Baptist Church’s leader has announced plans to picket a memorial and funerals for victims of Friday’s mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.

Taking to his twitter account, “church” leader Fred Phelps Jr. made a series of announcements that the caustic church is geared up to go to Colorado. Phelps Jr. is the son of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps.

The shooting in Aurora, Colo., at the midnight premier of “The Dark Knight Rises” left 12 people dead and close to 70 injured. The church has made a habit of protesting high-profile funerals and memorial events, using times of grief to get across its twisted anti-gay message.

Mass killings and large-scale tragedies have been a particular hot point for them, though some inventive counter-protesters have found ways to neutralize the Westboro Baptist Church. The Patriot Guard Riders, a group of dozens of motorcyclists, are dispatched to military members’ funerals to block mourners from seeing the protesters, and radio talk show hosts have talked the church out of protesting in exchange for free air time.

The event was not yet listed on Westboro Baptist Church’s “picket schedule,” which shows church members at First Baptist Church in Columbia, MO, on Saturday and at a trio of churches in Shawnee, KS, on Sunday.

Phelps Jr.’s posts, which were re-tweeted by other church members, made it seem as this might actually happen, though. He noted that members were already gassing up the cars for the 500 mile trip to the protest.

If the picket goes on–and there are doubts it will, as the Westboro Baptist Church has been known to announce visits that never materialize–the picket could conflict with another planned by the church. The church announced just days ago that it plans to picket the funeral of Sage Stallone, Sylvester’s son.

  6. These people need to die. I can't believe how shameless they are. Do they really think their display is going to inspire anyone? I doubt it. I'm positive that they're going these simply to infuriate people.

    Westboro is mostly comprised of attorneys who picket these events hoping that people will violate their rights. Don't feed into it. They want you to harass and injure them so they can sue the police, the town and anyone causing them harm during their "legal" protest.

    I feel reasonably sure this is not what the authors of the First Amendment had in mind….

  11. This is shameful.

  12. Hey!!! I agree with their views on special interest groups…. but don't disrespect the Colorado victim's or FAMILY'S of victims!!! -straight outta Denver!!!

    Please help me I am organizing a resistance to protect our families in aurora! These people are not welcome to abuse our city & victims

  15. And this is supposed to be a church , This kind of hate breeds hate, Yo u low scum of the earth, respect these people who have lost loved ones, you should all GO TO HELL!

    these people truly do not deserve to even live in this country, if "god" hates america in their eyes and they agree with that, simple solution get the F*** out! I put god in quotes above becuz idk what god they are worshiping!

  17. These jackasses just want attention…there is no excuse and no logic

  18. I wonder if it is against the law to shoot their signs with paintball gun as long as we don't hit the protesters. if so I know a lot of people that could have a blast with those demons.

  19. I'm surprised there hasn't been a massacre at one of their protests yet. But I would have to agree with you on that one!

  20. would you tell me more about this ?

  21. Claudia A Morales

    Let them come. Let them protest. Let them find out what Coloradons are made of. We will not stand for this nonsense.

  22. Christine, you do not need to wish these people to hell because I am certain that they will all be going to hell and no, this is not a church; it is a very, very sick cult filled with people that only know hate.

  23. Christine, you do not need to wish these people to hell because I am certain that they will all be going to hell and no, this is not a church; it is a very, very sick cult filled with people that only know hate.

  24. Let me first say, I don't like the Inquisitor. I can't stand the filth this site supports. they are nothing more than puppets to the Liberal Media and hypocrites that spread more hate than most. But, I will say this. We do agree on one thing, Westboro Baptist Church is full of nothing but blind hate mongers who do NOT read their Bible. They FALSELY represent what Christianity is about and I can't believe the Baptist Association allows them to have the name "Baptist" over the door. this church does NOT truthfully represent what Christ's message is about.

    fight hate with hate. these morons are asking for it anyway.

  26. I am praying that this is just a lot of smoke. There is always someone trying to smear the name of God and these agents of the enemy are trying their best to do that.

  27. I bet you could get help paying for the paint balls!

    These people are trying to inspire hatred by expressing their hate. Don't fall for it. Pray for their rancid souls..just to piss 'em off.

  29. Best we can do is kill them with kindness. put the emphasis where you will.

    Makes me wonder if the nutjob who committed this atrocity subscribes to the message of Westboro Baptist. Wouldn't surprise me one bit, since WBC is actually run by Satan himself, spreading falsehoods about God's hatred.

  41. there losers, and a creepy family too…um marrige {in} the family umm, that's what I found out,,,, O.o.

  42. well i can get 1000 rounds of pepper balls for 500 dollars…lol

  43. They really need to leave these families alone. These families are grieving and missing their loved ones. The Westboro group is a cult. They find any and every excuse to picket. Always at a funeral. Especially MILITARY funerals. Thanks to the Patriot Guard Riders on helping to block them. My heart goes out to all of these families. God bless each and every one of you.

  44. How are they allowed to call themselves a church? The Baptists should disband them! This is just want the Devil wants.

    I don't have a speck of violence in me, but I would beat the shit out of these twisted scum bags.

  46. This group was on their way to Texas to protest there were people who stood in a circle outside the church wearing maroon color shirts hand in hand, the protesters did not show up, maybe this could be done for this sad sad ceremonie.

  71. Darryl Kniaz
    Jul 21, 2012

    What matters is the main members of the church will sue the towns/municipalities where they picket if they have their rights violated. They would picket against pink unicorns if they were sure it would rile up the people in attendance. They want you to harm any of the people representing their church, and if anyone does, Phelps and his siblings will sue the people responsible for their safety.

  72. Joe N Eissa Martinez

    Lets build a wall of people

  73. IF THEY SHOW UP, SO WILL WE…IN FORCE. WE WILL NOT STAND BY AND LET THESE HATE MONGERS HARASS GRIEVING FAMILIES. ORGANIZE A COUNTER STRIKE OF PEACE, LOVE AND PROTECTION! PLEASE CONDUCT YOURSELVES WITH THE UTMOST CLASS AND RESPECT FOR THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WE WONT SINK DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL BUT WE WILL STAND UP TO THEM.

  81. im telling you im gonna infiltrate and then kill them all one by one

  82. or some yummy donuts smeared with botulism

  83. Me too Brandon!

  84. Amen.

  85. So horribly sad that they use "their" religion to defile the final goodbyes. Remember "only God can judge." All our final times will be here soon. I would be ashamed to have to me my Maker and have such actions to say "This is what I have done with my life to make you (my Creator) proud." Shameful………….to disrespect someone's final rest, says a lot to character. I might not like you, but I will pray the Lord ease the hateful anger seeded so deep in their hearts.

  86. Makes me sooooooo angry and sad

  87. Makes me sooooooo angry and sad

  88. The fact that their church still stands amazes me. If it were my family and they showed up their would be ass whoopins a plenty. I bet if it was a low income minority neighborhood they wouldn't think of it. Nobody would miss them.

  96. For gods sake what is wrong with these people protesting a funeral for the poor people who died before there time, the city of aurua should arrest those people before they get something bad started. I myself used to live in auroa colorado and it is basicialy a nice place, so these outsiders should forget about even trying to upset these folks more, god bless you all and may light and love be with you.

  97. Dorothy B Kalkhoven I can make a webpage for this. Lets setup a paypal account for it.

  98. Those monsters need to pick up the "the real book" and REALLY read the message in there. God loves everyone even his enemies….But He truly can be a wrathful God against HATE…so these ignorant group of protesters really need to wake up and smell their own crap!

    Hit me up on fb melissa im down and have people

  103. makes me wanna holler….and smack heads.

  104. Why do they carry these signs, if the ywerre true Christians, they would know that God Loves! God loves all that he creted!

  105. Jenna Briola
    Jul 21, 2012

    If I believed in Hell, I think there'd be a special place reserved for these animals. I think we can be sure that the good people of Colorado will make sure that the grieving families are well shielded from them, as has been happening lately. I certainly would show up to help if they ever dared step foot within 100 miles of my town.

  106. Why can't shooters, psychos n rapists go after people from WBC lol I think that's what I'ma do

  107. Always thought there should be special pews in hell for Christians like these (extra crispy anyone?). I sincerely hope they find some small measure of decency and leave the city of Aurora alone to grieve in peace.

  108. I hate that church! They do opposite of what God would want! It's awful what they do! God sees what they do & they will get what's coming to them!

  109. definitely resist this…how about wear batman masks?

  110. They sound like a bunch of hypochristians to me. I don't mean to sound crass and I certainly do NOT intend any offense to the victims or their families, but I think this idiot gunman shot the wrong people… he should have shot people who deserved it, say, like members of the Westboro Baptist Church?

    Someone please keep us posted as to whether these jerks do intend to show up and when. If they do show up, I would like to join the group that prevents them from harassing the families of the victims. (Too bad we couldn't get a hold of a firehose… just thinking)

  111. Thank you for your support!! I have several friends that lost someone at the theater, if these people come to spread their hate… I think there will be more mass chaos!! Please let us heal from this before spreading more hate!

  112. Alan Dee
    Jul 21, 2012

    These people regardless of religion or "God", should not be recognized as a church. They resemble more of a terrorist group. I have never wished death on anyone, but I'll be glad to see the day Fred Phelps meets his maker.

  113. I'm just waiting for one of these assholes to interfere with the bikers that are their to support the families having funerals. Then you'll see some serious effin beat downs.

    no. dont wear masks. just form a human wall. let the police know ahead of time and have them on standby in case WC tries to move past it. stay quiet and respectful for the families

  116. These people make me so sick. I know God is a loving , forgiving, compassionate, caring God not what these evil people say he is. I went to protect and support the families of a fallen Marine here in El Paso TX because these evil people showed to protest his funeral. The outcome of the people supporting the family was so amazing that this evil hate group did not show up. They were in El paso but did not show to the funeral just protested on Ft. bliss. People like this make me sick. I am a Christian it is not my religion it is my relationship with God and Jesus and I know the God I believe in is not what they say. So please people from Aurora and colorado in general go support the families when these evil people show up. I am from Aurora and would love to be there to help but the Army has me ten hours away.

  117. Karen Bradshaw
    Jul 21, 2012

    mention it on the news and try to let the publicity stop them from coming

  118. There is no date yet of when they plan on being there. I even just checked their web page and i guess since it is a sudden thing they have not put a date to be in aurora on their page either. if i hear anything i will update you all

  119. Melissa Hansen
    Jul 21, 2012

    @Karen do you know who I could contact to notify the police?

  120. Fnfortunately, they are not part of an "organization", or "association", they are an indepenedent church that at some time in the past claims to have held to Baptist doctrine. There are many Independent churches of this nature, but none that I know of that spew poison like this one. This one is a cult.

  121. Jeanie Dobbs Clymore
    Jul 21, 2012

    Who are those people? They are not Baptist or Christian.

  122. Is this what Jesus would do? I don't think so.

  123. Dear Westboro, please stay away from Aurora, they already dealing with the aftermath of a sick soul, they don't need to deal with yours!

  124. Dear Westboro, please stay away from Aurora, they are already dealing with the aftermath of a sick soul, they don't need to deal with your perversion.

  125. These people were on the history channel or something before and I thought they were crazy then, this is really pushing. I almost wonder what would they do if one of their own was a shooting victim.

  126. They are just as low as the guy that did the killing!

  127. Why would they do this???

  128. Why would they do this???

  129. Because they are a hate group that claim to be christians. They think and preach that God hates homosexuals and because he hates homosexuals he hates America for supporting them and because soldiers fight for our freedom they claim he also hates soldiers for fighting fo the freedoms of a country that supports homosexuals. They are evil people.

  139. and they protest a lot of different things not just funerals. Their web page is godhatesfags.com if you want to see what hey are all about it is a web page that might make you angry and sick but it shows who they are

  140. I do not advocate violence in any way, HOWEVER… if the vehicle(s) carrying these Godless inbred bigots were suddenly collided by a fleet of semis I can honestly say I would not shed a tear.

  141. These people that say they are doing gods busniess are liars good people, gay, as I am, or straight, big little or whatever white black pink or purple, good people don't kill people or mess up funerals! GOD is the judge not anyone else this so called church needs to realize that!

  142. That church just protested the funeral of a fallen soldier here today! Over seven thousand ppl showed up to circle the church to keep a barrier between them and the procession!

  143. I can say without hesitation that if my son who is currently serving overseas should fall in the line of duty and these clowns show up to demonstrate their 1st amendment rights, prison be damned…I will give Shirley "the skank" Phelps a up close and personal demonstration of my 2nd amendment rights
    and that or any pro WBC person can take that anyway they want, I will ask that they hold those signs high and proud… to give me a better bearing to my target ( and no I don't care if anyone else approves or disapproves of my post)

  144. they threatened to do that here when there was a fallen soliders funeral in haleyville a while back but the freedom riders came and they didnt show up they need shut down or something they are wrong for what they do that isnt following god i mean im no saint but i do know right from wrong

  145. I grew up in aurora not too far from the aurora mall and I now live in colorado springs and plan on going up to block the sob's from doing what they do. hate mongers attention whores is all they are

  149. Those are the same damn people that try to disrupt funerals for people who were in the service fighting for our country. Whether a person agrees with what we are doing overseas or not, men and women still give their lives for our country and our freedom. God there are a lot of dumb and bad people out there man! WOW!

    These losers are looking for attention. They also want to protest the death of Sage Stallone. If they died I wouldn't protest one damn bit…………a little grave dancing maybe……….you know what beer does to a bladder. I don't like beer but I think I could rise to the occasion.
    This is not a church, it is a bunch of haters using what was once a church as a front. If they truly wanted to please God they would pray, not protest.

    We need an army of vigilantes in Batman costumes to come out and throw smoke bombs during their protest. That would be poetic justice.

    You've got to be kidding……….way too many nut jobs in this wolrd.

  161. Okay so the minister is a twisted hate monger! That is a given. What I want to know is how his moral platform has anything to do with the tragic loss of life in Colorado? To what end does he and his blind followers think they are ultimately doing in infringing on the grief stricken families at a time when most "good Christians" would in fact lend their support, and love. They are truly the saddest and most fundamentally mislead congregation ever! And don't anyone dare say that his beliefs and free air time on a radio show is worth putting up with this injustice! Melissa Hansen, please post something on FB for contributions to ward off these most evel of people and you will have my support along with countless others. We should block these people from having any access to the memorials and funerals that are planned.

  162. OOPS! "evil", not evel……..get angry and start typing fast, sorry folks!

  164. Dewayne, we probably would not agree on alot socially or politically, but I do believe that we are exactly on the same page morally, and that the Bible and the Baptist faith does not teach what this man is preaching!

  165. this is unbelievable! How can people who say they preach the word of god be filled with hate? Anyone who would protest this funeral deserves toburn in hell, they are hypocritical slime.

Kidding, kidding…….don't need to turn something as solemn and grief filled with a social statement of that sort, I am just damn angry at what this guy has said and is doing. The more comments I read the more insenced I get. And after all "anger" is one of the 7 Deadly Sins, right? Apologies………….T

If not the wrath of GOD will shine down on them.. and GOD have mercy for this young man… during that time..Maybe he had not reached the age of accountability yet, WHO KNOWS.. he certainly did not act with accountability.. GOD Bless those families. All day today I have felt that something is entirely wrong.. I do hope that GOD gives mercy to those who have lost their loved ones and I pray for this young man's soul..

They are retarding the children.

    These people are not Christians! If so, they would not even consider "picketing" funerals. I don't understand what their deal is, but if they had read any of the Bible, they would know that God loves everyone. God only hates wickedness, which is what they are practicing when they do these things to hurt people. It is not up to us to judge others, that is supposed to be left to God. My prayers go out for the victims and to the families and all involved in this terrible, terrible tragedy. These people will need support right now and into the future, not these fanatics trying to harass them in their time of grief.

You don't respect me, I will not respect you by knocking you down. EYE for an EYE! If this shit is gonna have my community living in constant fear….maybe it's time to start going Act of Valor on their ass!! DAM FEW!!!

  208. These people make me sick. Pay no attention to their lies, these are not real Christians. Real Christians are not perfect and don't profess to be. We spread our beliefs through loving others.

  215. and after all there is really no reference to homosexuality in the Bible……………just sayin folks! I have looked, have alot of friends that have had that question here lately,

  216. and hate (ie Anger) is one of the 7 Deadly Sins, right? Of course the bible didn't have the Sins the way they are written now, that was created by Pope Gregory in the 6th Century. Not speaking the word as it is written and sinning against God is a sin, and these people are sinners.

  217. we need to get a can of red, white, and blue paint and throw it at them and forget to take the lids off. I dont understand it that men, women, even children can be shot for no reason and you have those people spread hate and no one has took a shot at them.

  218. barbie, that is so wrong them to do that. they need to leave family alone time like this. i do not think they would like it if we did the same when they died. and i go to church, i do not judge gays, people different color, and etc. i love all folks. and i go to baptist church. this so call church making church i go to look bad ugh

  219. What blows my mind into orbit, is how the local police don't give them any hassle. But holy shit if you dare get a crowd of people and protest the government, they bring out the riot shields and tear gas.

  220. I hope they don't come but if they do I will probably get arrested.

  221. What most people seem to miss is just how used to negative attention the WBC are. If being unwelcome were going to stop them, they'd have disbanded some time ago. If we really want them to give up, as hard as it is for some to fathom, we should ignore them. When they know that their voices are not only unwanted – but utterly unheard – then maybe they'll realize it's time to find a better use of their time.

  222. Well said Aunt Patty! Have you seen what their website address is? I couldn't believe it when I first saw it. I only found out about this group today and I am just livid. The fact that they have such a sick and twisted point of view and that they hide behind their "church" to spread their messages of hate and bigotry is despicable. But then to use the funerals of innocent people as a platform for their bullshit propaganda goes beyond the meaning of evil. And yes everyone, I did say bullshit.

    Why on earth could their psycho logic make them want to picket their funerals? Ugh Makes me sick.

  225. Shame on them, heath ledger in hell, God hates America, didn't.know mere mortals could speak on his behalf! I hope the residents can find support from local leaders and organizations to keep them out even if it means building a human barricade!

  226. Amazing how much evil can be done in God's name.

  227. This group is utterly disgusting. What they have been doing has been going on for far too long and it's about time someone does something about it. They have no excuse to picket the funeral of people when grieving family members, friends and more are trying to grieve for loved ones and are still feeling the effects of the ordeal. It's fucking disgusting. But I bet if someone picketed their family members funeral that wouldn't be ok and there would be uproar. Blows my mind how fucking moronic they are.

    "Your going to hell for being gay and watching Batman!"

    Fuck right off -_- Any bets on that they will drag up Heath Ledger playing a gay cowboy in Brokeback because they picketed his funeral after Dark Knight for the same reason, now because people are watching Batman oh we must support that act! First of all there is nothing wrong with peoples sexuality wether they are gay, straight, bi or whatever.But they take the bible so literally and even further. Even the Archbishop over here has said they take religion too far and just twist it. So even a head of the church has sat down and said they're not right! So glad they're banned over here in the UK they would probably be beaten to death over here with little no no remorse.

    Fucking blows my mind how fucked in the head these people are and come up with any bullshit excuse to create more pain for those effected. Whats even worse is theyre protected pretty much by freedom of speech. Ok there is freedom of speech and to say what you think, but then there is purely abusing that privilage causing harm and pain to those effected. They don't have a right to free speech because they abuse it and get away with it.

    Honestly no words can describe my hate for this group. I'm gonna stop ranting now -_-

    Fred Phelps is one guy that truely deserves to be hit by a fucking bus and reversed back over multiple times.

  228. That's fucked up. I want to bitch slap those kinds of Christians. What the hell is going on in Colorado that"s making people so hostile? First Columbine and now this, only 15 miles away.. I wonder if the land is cursed? Hmmm?

  229. Lest anyone think I look for trouble (I don't — it usually comes my way) — I make the invite to Westboro for them to picket my house and leave the grieving families of the shooting victims alone in Colorado. I would serve them (Westboro) appetizers and beer and sctoch — the media would attend — they would get plenty of notoriety which is what they really want anyway — they would have their signs — photos would be taken — news coverage — nobody would get hurt — then they would leave. All the while the grieving people in Colorado would be left alone in their grief. A "win win" for Westboro and Aurora Colorado. But then I know that won't happen!!

  230. Rumer has it a human chain is being made to peotect morners from this protest will you be organizing people for that for todays memorial?

  231. I do not call it a church, church full of love not hate

  232. count me in

  233. Exactly who is this evil killing God they worship? I mean the way the speak of thsi idea of this "God" pants an image of darkness, evil, destruction, hate, and human ignorance an arrogance.

    @Debbie Willam: This is part of our freedom of speech. In Germany, the swastika is banned under law, as is the publication and/or ownership of Hitler's "Mein Kampf." The law regarding the swastika is still being challenged to this day by neo-nazi groups. Anything displaying this symbol can be confiscated, however.

    So, what price for freedom? How far should it go? How far would it go? We've already seen congress trying to pass laws to get around Roe v. Wade as they consider jobsbortion bills. I wouldn't give this congress the opportunity to even visit freedom of speech/expression. That would be a truly dangerous road.

  257. Hate like this should be illegal.

  258. Now this is adding insult to injury, why are we going to allow a church to go to funerals and or memorials to protest a message that's based on hatred? People have lost their lives either by death or just the tragic scene of it all. Lives are affected from this horrific event, and yet that particular church is going to use it as a platform for bigotry. As a minister myself I am outraged at how instead of uplifting those that are grieving right now, that pastor of that church is leading the charge to protest anti-gay messages? Really? We understand the bible and understand that homosexuality is not of Christ but this is not the time nor the place for such an act of insincerity, and disrespect to those that are in the midst of a storm right now. I pray that their Baptist Commission of pastors disallows the event and removes that pastor from any and all other duties. He is a farce in my book and should not be leading the flock down a pathos destruction.

    They threatened to show up at the funerals of the Tucson victims — especially nine-year-old Christina Green's funeral and Judge Rolls' funeral. Besides dozens of people wearing large angel wings to block the family's view of WBC, there must have been 600 bikers from all over the state and southwest at Christina Green's funeral and we planned on being there the next day for Judge Rolls' funeral if they showed up. They didn't show. If they know there are people there — especially bikers — they have a tendency to stay home. You CAN scare them away. Unfortunately though, you can't touch them.

  271. I am a Baptist Christian and am ashamed that this "church" could even dare to call themselves Christians! I'm sure it breaks God's heart to see people associate themselves with Him and exhibit such shameless behavior. It breaks my heart that they could treat grieving people in such an insensitive way!

    For with what judgment yes judge, yes shall be judged: and with what measure yes mete, it shall be measured to you again."
    If this scripture is true then since they judge with hate then they will be judged by God with hate. Just a theory, but not something I would want to test.

  277. Sorry for the yes' in there. Apparently I have auto correct. Here, let me put the real quote:
    "Judge not, that ye be judged.
    For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

  278. What kind of sick religion are these people a part of? What kind of twisted minds protest a memorial? Shame on all them.

  279. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. (John 13:34 NLT)
    Westboro is clearly choosing hate over love, and doing it in the guise of Christianity. This is absolutely sickening.

  280. I live in Colorado and I would have to agree that if these filthy, innappropriate bigots dare show up they will not be welcome! They are not a church they are a cult a dangerous one, they should not be allowed to harass these grieving families. These are absolutely disgusting!

  281. Do u think that GOD would appreciate a church to protest a funeral, ppl are just down right stupid, how would the church like if we protest against them

    There is going to be hundreds of people there forming a human shield. If you live in the area, please please attend. The victims' families do not need this and this man who committed these terrible acts should not be supported.

  294. My God is good. They worship evil. Webster needs to get brave and put in the dictionary. Anti-Christ………. See: Westboro Baptist Church.

  295. Lol last month you were spot on at the church discussion on the WBC. If they spent half the time doing real charity as they do their evil works, 1000 mouths would be fed weekly.

  296. Amen. The are so hell bent. Yet they don't understand hebrew and what Sheol is. The tiem will come they will know the pain they cause others and will feel it and weep.

    The more people feed into the fire, the heat grows more intense. Let Nature take care of that problem and let it be. We don't need more fighting going on and I'm sure there will be guards and squads guarding the memorial and mass funerals. Although I those people should be buried in the mountains where it is peaceful.

  300. So disrespectful.You know if something bad was to happen to these people they'd be getting what they deserve.I'd like to know exactly what bible are they supposedly living by? When did Christianity stop being about drawing people closer to Christ.I grew up in the church(literally) Preachers kid and all.I'm now Agnostic, still believe in something higher than myself, and I have much respect for religious faiths all around.What gives one religious belief the right to even think it can trump another.That's the problem I have with the Christianity faith, some believers act as if their beliefs overrule everyone elses.

  301. I live in Aurora too, we will not let them cause a problem. We will block them. Does anyone know where they plan to stay? We should protest at their hotels until they get kicked out. If they camp, lets make their lives miserable with loud music and drive them out like the cockroaches they are.

  302. this is a TOXIC church ,

    I cannot believe these people call themselves a Church. This is not how a tue church would act. Where is their compassion for the innocent? It truly is completely EVIL of them to protest the way they do and the places the choose. To all the folks in Aurora, REAL Christians all over are praying for your community, the victims and their families, we really are. Make the wall and keep them out. I hope and pray they do not show!

  307. Just put some UFC guys out there. That'd be a blast for youtube :D

  308. Why do we even mention WBC anymore? They are nothing more than a joke. No one takes them seriously, they are a cult of brainwashed people who try and speak for God and for the son of God as if they are him. I think we should all stop talking about them. Who cares what they think or do or if they picket, let them, anywhere they go they will quickly be ran off so its not an issue. They are irrelevant to the world.

  309. Call the Local chapter of the Patriot Riders they take care of those who like to offend and dishonor. They are an incredible group of humans. They work with local Law Enforcement, carry a big flag and drown out their babble with lines of motorcycles, the flags they use are massive. They cover the scums view. They are true Patriots, Vets and great people, doing it for honor.

  310. <3 <3 Everything went beautifully!! Thank the Lord above for giving us peace today!! Now the healing starts, and Our community can make the steps to normalcy United and stronger then ever!! Aurora Colorado we are all here to support or fellow neighbors!! "WE WILL REMEMBER" <3 <3

  311. who's allison?

  312. I think they are just as bad as the guy who did the shooting. He did not care about hurting people that he did not know and neither do these people. They are all the same.

    I hope that these hatemongers are prepared for reaping what they have sown! It puzzles me, as a Christian, why there is a sweet, innocent 6 yr old girl dead, and these racists, who do nothing but cause others pain, are still alive? And I wonder if any of Phelps’ followers have thought about the parts of the Bible that talk about false prophets and what happens to those who stop listening to the Holy Spirit and start listening to the false prophet? It isn’t good!

  325. There are no words, I have no comprehension to any person putting God in the same sentence with these people, I can only think about the pain God must go through everyday watching his creation damage each other in such a dispicable fashion, I don't understand what do they honestly think they are achieving except the spread of hatred and mean heartedness. The only thing we can all do is to pray for these families that God will shield them from this burden as well.

  327. Well have fallen short of the Glory of God. Read Genesis 38. Whose sin is greater? Tamar or Judah?

  328. Read Matthew 5:44-46 "He, God, causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous." pray for Holmes and the victims. Westboro organization, if you are a church as Jesus commissioned the church, please understand everything about His church. Truth through love. People will identify us as His children by our love and readily follow where the Holy Spirit leads

  329. Incredible..

    Westboro Baptist Church members can't see the truth of God's love because they are bending their ears to leaders / elders in this organization rather than listening to ALL of the written words in the Bible. Pray for the children in this hate filled church because they are victims of their parents teachings___this is the message you should put on signs when W.B.C. arrives to protest…"We pray for W.B.C. children because they are innocent and know not the truth of God's love."

    A church who are supposed to be people of god protesting a funeral in Co this is the sickest thing I have heard in a long time. These people are not christians that's for sure. I am praying for each and everyone in the Co shooting. God Be with you all. This is the reason why assault weapons must be banned. too many of our people and children are getting killed. Banning these weapons is common sense and will stop this terrible tragety.

    As far as I have been taught, there is only ONE unpardonable sin. All other sin , God will forgive, but the one that He WON"T forgive is blasphemy. These people are blasphemers of the worst kind. They presume to know God's mind. They use His name to spread hatred. The only thing God hates is sin. He is a God of LOVE, and He is patiently waiting for us to come to Him by our own choice, not because we have been scared or threatened into it. We are supposed to strive to be like Jesus and I don't remember reading anywhere in the Bible that he ever picketed funerals. In fact, unless these people can raise the dead, they need to stay home!
