Westboro Baptist Church attacks victims of Victoria bushfires, plans mourning day picket
THE religious group that condemned Heath Ledger to hell for his role in Brokeback Mountain, is back – this time attacking the victims of the Victoria fires.

The Westboro Baptist Church – founded by Reverend Fred Phelps in Topeka, Kansas - claims that sinning Australians are the cause of the bushfires that raged across Victoria, and plan to picket the national day of mourning on February 22.

In a statement, the group says “God hates Australia” and “thank God for the fiery deaths of hundreds”.

“The guilty Australians will not repent of their national sins of the flesh … even after God killed hundreds in the fires and cast them into hotter fire and brimstone in hell,” it says.

Hate - 24/7.....They are the distilled essence of pure evil.

1. I can think of several places to put these idiots.

Devil's Island would be a picnic spot in comparison to where I want to put them.

12. My father (G'd rest him) used to say there's a place for everyone
in this world -- but theirs hasn't been dug yet.

If there's a Creator, SHe's gonna have some pretty hard questions for nasty people like them. And they are just. Plain. Nasty.

2. First England, now Australia?!
Has the nutcase decided to cease picketing in the U.S. since he got his ass handed to him in court? Let's take up a collection so he can go protest the gay penguins in the Antarctic -- and leave him there. :rofl:

5. This is actually very useful stuff
Keeps all the fundies relegated to the fringe in Australia- where they belong- and where, unlike in America- the vast majority wants them to to stay.

7. Are they actually in Australia or did they just send out a press release
informing Australians of their intent to picket from a very safe distance?

8. I'm sure they will picket from afar
They wouldn't last two seconds (and don't have the guts) to actually go there.

9. They have decided that God just doesn't hate the US,
he hates the entire world. What country don't they condemn? And why don't they go live there instead of here?

If you look at the faces of these people, they look like they are insane. The hatred that they live and breathe every day has poisoned their minds. The ones I feel sorry for are the children that are being raised in this environment.

10. Can we arrange for them to be detained in Australia?
Kansas doesn't want them back.
