sccsux Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Phelps is scum This thread is about this particular piece of scum. Feel free to start another thread about the others:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 BF must have been given a large spoon at Christmas with all the stirring he is doing. I'm happy to accept that criticism if starting a thread about a controversial issue is 'stirring', there wouldn't be many threads on here for you to contribute to if that were the case.

Wildcat Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I condemn the placard waving Westboro Baptists and I also condemn people who use the internet to air their own prejudices, they are on a par with the Jehovah Witnesses imo. What is wrong with Jehovah's Witnesses? I don't agree with them, but those I have met have been perfectly pleasant people. I do find it extraordinary that you seem to find it difficult to make a post without condemning someone else. What happened to turning the other cheek? the Good Samaritan? the tolerance and respect evident in the New Testament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Then you condemn yourself:thumbsup:. No. Islam talks about killing people and so does the Old Testament. Phelps is taking his views from the Old Testament which are similar to both Islam and Judaism, both of which condemn prostitutes to death by stoning. Jesus speaks kindly about prostitutes and he specifically forbids murder. Guess who I follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum is full of whingers, fault-finders and complainers who love to do nothing more than to find fault with others and act as judge and jury, which is what you are doing in this thread.

sccsux Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 No. You said "I also condemn people who use the internet to air their own prejudices" Then (in the same breath, so to speak) come out with such prejudiced comments like "Islam talks about killing people and so does the Old Testament. Phelps is taking his views from the Old Testament which are similar to both Islam and Judaism, both of which condemn prostitutes to death by stoning."

andygardener Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Phelps is scum, but that doesn't excuse other scum. There we go, that wasn't hard at all was it. And I agree that him being a scumbag does not excuse anyone else being a scumbag, but nobody on the thread has tried to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Wildcat accurately observes it seems that you're unable to say anything without condemning some group or other. Jesus also loves homosexuals, whom I seem to recall you pouring bile on on numerous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it extraordinary that you seem to find it difficult to make a post without condemning someone else. What happened to turning the other cheek? the Good Samaritan? the tolerance and respect evident in the New Testament? Again there have been numerous posts complaining about Jehovah Witnesses knocking on their doors and spoiling their Sunday dinner. Yet these same people use the internet to enter people homes with their own particular views and then they complain about hypocrites. The words pot, kettle, black come to mind.

It seems to me that whilst this thread condemns a group, the group being condemned has done everything it can to set its self up for condemnation. Indeed in my post a page ago, I suggest that provoking litigation is their intention. BoyFriday has made his posts carefully and respectfully acknowledging that Westboro baptists are unusual and not representative of Christianity as a whole. What I find interesting is the people that have come to the thread with their own agenda and condemnations of others of muslims, of Jehovah's witnesses, of BoyFriday's intent. These weren't a part of the thread until others introduced them... it has made the thread interesting for reasons not too disimilar from your accusation, but like previous posts from you the truth appears to be the opposite of what you are saying. The more revealing and interesting comments have come from those wanting to destract from what the topic is about and extend or move it on to their own pet hate subjects.
