R.I.P. means Rest In PEACE!

Ok, so what's so "christian" about disturbing people's funerals?

According to Cassy Fiano at Wizbang, the WestBoro Baptist Church is at it again. Now, if you aren't familiar with them I'll readers digest it for you.

WestBoro Baptist Church is an extreme Baptist community in Topeka, Kansas full of ill mannered, heartless people that IN NO WAY illustrate christian values or characteristics. The pastor of the WestBoro Baptist Church is Fred Phelps and he and his "gang" of fellow gay/lesbian, war hero hating, United States bashing lunatics are more known for their consistent protesting at soldiers funerals and gay/lesbian parades and funerals. Apparently every crime and injustice committed in the world is due to homosexuality according to them. To learn more about this crazy cult (http://www.godhatesfags.com/)... do I really need to say more with a URL like that?)

It sickens me that someone could think to protest at a funeral, any funeral, would make anything better in any situation. Regardless of what that person did in their life, it's just inhumane to disturb and ridicule people in mourning. Protesting at fallen soldiers funerals was bad enough, now they plan to protest at the memorial service of Brianna Denison. Brianna Denison was a young girl about my age who attended Santa Barbra College, was raped and strangled to death while sleeping on her friends couch in Reno, NV in Jan.

On the WBC's web site they have each event listed at which they will protest and in an explanation on why.

Hopefully the Patriot Guards riders, an amazing group of bikers who follow the horrible WBC and counter protest them, will attend Brianna's funeral service and comfort her already mourning family from the devilish cold hearts of the WBC.

Pray for Brianna and her family
