They aren't Baptists - they're not even Christians!

Those nuts from Westboro Baptist Church threatened to protest at the funeral of Christina Green, the little girl who was killed in the Arizona shootings, because "God sent the shooter to deal with idolatrous America."

How these people can have even an inkling that what they are doing is Christian is beyond me. They think the deranged madman who maimed and killed all those people was doing God's will! If they really believe that, then I can only assume that their eyes have been blinded by their father, the Devil, and it's his will they're carrying out. I can assure you that my heavenly Father wept when that trigger was pulled.

The spiritual side of me is praying that these people will have their eyes opened to the truth. The human side of me thinks it would serve them right to have people protesting at the funeral of one of their family members. Then they would see what it feels like to have someone making an outrageous claim about a loved one whose family is already in the depths of grief. God works in mysterious ways, and sadly, that may be what it takes to remove the scales from their eyes.
