There is before the Supreme Court a defense of the First Amendment right of free speech by the Westboro Baptist Church. They are the picketers who go to soldiers’ funerals or interments with such placards as: God hates fags, God hates America because they tolerate fags, God hates Obama, You’re going to hell, etc.......
I suspect they’ll win the case, and I do believe in free speech no matter how reprehensible it might be.
I do object, however, to them calling themselves Christians. Do you know what that humble Rabbi Joshua aka Jesus of Galilee said about Gays? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Not one of his biographers or subsequent followers said anything about homosexuality.
Jesus went around talking about the Kingdom of God with a big smile and an open heart. There is one episode recorded about his forgiveness of an adulteress recorded by John.....
“4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
John 8: 4-11
Westboro Baptist Church spreads hate. Jesus of Galilee, on whom the Christian Church is based, spread love.
