WTF???!?!
I am a Christian myself, and there is no way (AT ALL), that i agree with these so called, "Christians."
A fundamentalist church (Westbro Baptist Church); led by, i believe, Fred Phelps-Roper (some priest from kansas, or something!??!), is going to be protesting at the Academy Awards, and more shockingly - Heath Ledger's Funeral! All because Heath played a gay cowboy in 'Brokeback Mountain'.
OMG?!?! What absolute f*ckwits!!! It's not like Heath Ledger was actually GAY!!!
Funny, last i heard, Heath had previously had girlfriends, and had been married, in which they produced a child! (OMG - last time i checked, you had to be female to give birth! That must mean, *sarcastic gasp* he was with a woman? OMG - so not gay, in any way!)
All he did was portray a character, in a movie (fiction?!?!?) i might add, who was gay! Where is the harm in that?
(signs the church have made for the protests) *glare* Wankers!
Some of the signs read "God Hates Fags and Fag Enablers," "Heath in Hell" and "Mourn for Your Sins."
This, so-called-priest, Fred Phelps-Roper, says that it's a great thing that Heath is dead. What i gathered, from his interview with ACA, he was pretty much saying; "sucked in, your dead, and it's your fault for 'supporting' gays." Some 'priest' he is! *sneer*
Can you believe this?? (Taken from ABC report; "Anti-Gay Church to Protest Ledger funeral")
http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=4183635&page=1Though Ledger was not gay, the church believes he "misused the giant megaphone given to him by God Almighty to speak the truth about fags," Phelps-Roper said, and instead "used his position of prominence to say God is a liar and that homosexuality is not an abomination." IT WAS A MOVIE!!! - geeez! Hello People! - FICTION!!
A press release posted to the church's Web site, godhatesfags.com, reads: "Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there -- besides which, nothing else about Heath Ledger is relevant or consequential."
I'm sooo f*cked off right now...
What absolute, f*ckn wankers!!!!!!
What kind of preist/church (or even christians!) are they, to even think about interrupting a funeral, in that way?!?! (I don't understand how the thought could even cross their minds to do something so, anti-christian.)
I hope that this protesting is stopped, or at the least seriously controlled, at both the Academy Awards & Heath's funeral.
Let his family mourn the loss of their son, brother, cousin? IN PEACE. They have lost a loved family member, and should be given the right (and respect) to farewell him in peace!
May you, hopefully soon (though it doesnt seem like it!), RIP Heath.
I sincerley hope you find peace.
and with the way things are here, i would seriously think that 'up there' is a much better place to be, in that you aren't 'down here' with these wankers...
My prayers and thoughts are with the Ledger family at this time.

"As God's messenger, I give each of you this warning: Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others." (Rom 12:3-5).

I agree with them whole-heartedly.
"If I recall correctly, i am pretty sure that Jesus never once condemned those that had sinned againest him he acted only in grace and love. For example, the adultress woman who was being stoned he saved from death through his grace and mercy. It also clearly says that "All have Sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" Not some but All. Also, God doesn't look at one sin as worse than the other so in God's eyes homosexuality is the same a lying or stealing, which I know I have done. So basically my point is why is this church who claims to represent Christ in their endeavors going againest Him by judging and condeming someone who is no different than any of the rest of us. When it comes down to it we are all just Sinners in need of God's amazing grace. So get over yourselves and READ THE BIBLE for a change. Maybe then you might see people as Jesus sees them rather than for your own selfish ambition. I know Jesus wouldn't picket at a funeral so why are you?" pinkponyya85 2:28 AM
"This is why people do not want hear the word of GOD. These people are not spreading the gospel, but rather spreading ignorance and lies. God hates no one except the Devil himself. He sent his only Son to die for us that we may have eternal life. When Jesus walked this earth he did so along side, thiefs, sluts, and liars. That would apply to all of us and I do not think God takes lightly how these people are acting. I pray for the Ledger family and anyone that needs it because that is what God expects of me as a christian. God is Love and his grace and mercy are unfathomable. Judging people never does any good, but loving people usually does." bfwb77 2:11 AM
"The people at this cult church need to get a life. Free speech is one thing, but families have the right to grief in private without these hate-mongers spewing their vile messages. It's really too bad they can't be locked up or something. " Socket72 1:43 AM
"The fact that these awful people want to picket at a funeral really is indicative of the fact that they have no compassion, no morals, no integrity and no regard for the greif that the Ledger family is suffering." StephanieMartin85 1:28 AM
