I can tell you that He would NOT be protesting at military funerals, disrupting ceremonies, and causing unnecessary pain to the families. But then perhaps these so called "Christians" have a new revelation of Jesus that we don't know about? (See Mormonism)
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday 3-2-11 that an anti-gay church has the legal right to picket military funerals, CNN reported. The Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church claims it protests the funerals of fallen soldiers with signs that read "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "AIDS cures fags" because their deaths are the price America pays for its acceptance of "the sin of homosexuality."
In an 8-to-1 vote, the court said that the group had a right to promote its message, upholding a 2008 federal appeals court ruling which reversed a lower court decision that awarded millions of dollars to the father of a fallen Marine, who had sued the church claiming emotional distress.
"Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and – as it did here – inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker," Chief Justice John Roberts said in writing for the majority.
So in your opinion, how "Christ like" are the actions of Westboro Baptist Church?
