Anti-Gay Group Protest–American Idol Concert

A group of protesters converged outside an American Idol concert, being held in San Jose, California, this past Sunday. The purpose of their demonstration was to let all there be known, homosexuals are going to hell. The group is from a controversial and radical church located in Topeka Kansas. The Westboro Baptist Church, who’s website is God Hates Fags.com, talk about their mission to “hate” on their webpage……

Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America’s enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world’s last hope. read more about WBC

One of Lambert’s fellow American Idol friends was also preforming during the protest outside the concert. StarPulse.com has released the following…….Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, “Funny how people think it’s a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don’t mind these people, we are a strong family.”

Utter disgust and astonishment. That’s my feeling towards the Westboro Baptist Church. The web page they proclaim and advocate is nothing more then “hate” propaganda. Their church spreads hate. They tour throughout the U.S. screaming “hate” in Gods name.I don’t know about their “god”, but my God does not hate and would never tell his “children” to go out and preach for the devil

Now while this is only one of a few hate derived “so called” churches, it still reminds me that their are some ignorant, uneducated, bigots out there, who have nothing better to do then to humiliate and belittle other people for the choices and lifestyles they live. The thought of people who are crusading for religious reasons, when in fact are doing nothing more then breeding hate, is disturbing. The fact that hate could consume a person let alone a group is nothing new in America, or the rest of the world.

The point I want to make is that we do live in America, and we do have a right to express our opinion. Even when our views and religious beliefs don’t agree with everyone elses. We are all entitled to freedom, so while we might not agree with churches like this, they will still exist. It is our job to inform others that hate is not the way to win. It is not the way to get your views across. It is not the way we should raise our children. Stand up, let your views be known, and tell people like this that hate is not right, that hate is not acceptable. Stand up and proclaim that you will refuse to hate and refuse to let hate dwell in your life. This is America, and we have the right to be free. Free from hate
