[XemaSab]

what sign would you carry?

[LiberalLoner]

1. I would have a sign like that little girl held, "God doesn't hate anyone."

[cbayer]

22. Agree. Here is an image of this brave kid (a boy, btw)

4. When we encountered them in 2001

It was a hot, muggy July day in the Midwest. On the theory that bigotry is thirsty work, we bought them cold drinks from street vendors, and offered them to our friends from Westboro. We were greeted with hostility and suspicion, but with amity and unrelenting hospitality, we eventually gave them the sodas, teas and water.

The folks from Westboro welcome hostility. They welcome brickbats and insults and hollering. Their entire understanding of the gospel is that when they are opposed, they are following God's plan. All that talk about mutuality, love, caring for humanity and so forth is just eyewash to them. But when their brandished swords are met with soft answers and genial responses, it really discombobulates them.

They skedaddled pretty quickly when we weren't giving them what they wanted. But they took the cold drinks, and haven't come back.

6. God told me that these people are whackadoodles

Please ignore them (on the other side)

[cynatnite]

7. I wouldn't...

Their signs alone do enough damage to themselves. Protesting them seems rather redundant, IMO.

8. God wears a tee shirt with an arrow pointing to these people.

It says, "I'm NOT with Stupid. ---->"

10. As the poster on my wall says

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

11. My poster is similar...

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

--the Buddha

And on the opposite wall:

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

--the Buddha

[Kalidurga]

12. God hates Red Lobster...NT

[IcyPeas]

13. my post would read:

"How do magnets work anyway?"

(this was an actual sign of somebody's at a protest... it cracked me up)

[RZM]

16. I would go with the original lyric:

'Fuckin' magnets . . . how do they work?'

[IcyPeas]

19. yes, that's better. lol

[Mc Mike]

14. Devil Loves Phelps

[jwirr]

15. "And in those days there will be many false prophets." They would know where that comes from

and what it means as they are it.

[tabbycat31]

17. God Hates Bigots

[KG]

18. 'get over yourselves, there is no god.'

[LiberalEsto]

20. "Dear God,

please protect me from your followers."

[whistler162]

21. God loves you... no matter who you are!

[xfundy]

23. I'd thank them

for saying in public what many "christians" say at the dinner table after church.
