It seems that the members of the Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church aren't very happy about the San Diego Comic-Con. According to them, it's a gathering of lost souls who are obsessively worshipping false idols like Batman:

"Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry."

Members of the church intend on staging a 45-minute protest during one of the least busy days of the convention in order to get everyone back on the right track.

Give it up, Fred. No one is buying it.

3. The world would be a much better place...

if Phelps' clan spent more time reading comic books and less time in the Bible.

4. 913 Romulans can't be wrong.

Or so I'm told.

20. ROFL!

If they want to get their message across to the nerds, they ought to do their signs in Klingon. :)

6. They oughta recruit Mel Gibson for a brainstorming session

8. So they will stage their protest on... Tuesday?

Yes I have gone to Comic-Con and from Wednesday night on is just NUTS!

Oh and boys... there are so many other things you can hate me for... but reading comics ain't one of them. Like most people who go to the Con, it ain't about comics any more... all costumes aside.

9. What about Pop Rocks?

10. $10 says someone has already turned it into a t-shirt.

11. Okay, I'm back. Phelps is going to have to explain this scripture

Romans 9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

This...well, it doesn't really seem to apply here. But they HAD to put a piece of Scripture on the sign, I guess...wouldn't Genesis 38.8-10 (the story of God killing Onan for spilling his seed upon the ground) make more sense at a nerd convention?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Look at all their signs

it is ALWAYS Romans 9:13

[jmowreader]

17. That's strange...

The controlling scripture for the Phelps hate cult is Leviticus 18.22, so ya'd think he'd put it on his signs.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You'd think so

but I don't expect consistency from this PARTICULAR cult.

12. May the mighty Thor strike them down

Damned blasphemers!

14. Life imitates The Onion, LOL!

:rofl:

15. Comics have long been a target of the right wing

I offer a link to the 1954 Senate Interim Report, Comic Books and Juvenile Delinquency. A typical witch hunt.

16. To the WBC, god hates everything except worship.

They'll the ultimate trolls. They will just say anything to get them fired up.

18. In the picture does ROM 9:13 stand for Romans or Romulans?

*NERD LAUGH*
