I wouldn't call it justice, but at least it's something.

Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS has been ordered to pay $10.9 million to the father of a Marine killed in Iraq.

You may better know the church by their website- http://www.godhatesfags.com/.

I get sick just typing that.

This church thinks it's a great idea to blame military deaths "on America's tolerance of homosexuals." Now there's the love of Christ in action. Pure hate is being disguised as Christianity. And Christians wonder why people don't want to go to church. Can you blame them when they hear/see crap like this?

These same jokers also protested at Tammy Faye Messner's memorial service, according to her son Jay Bakker. She wasn't afraid of people who were "different" than her. From what I've heard, she befriended any- and everyone and loved them. And these misguided religious zealots blame her for what wrong with this nation?

I think it's the other way around. Religion like that is what's wrong. I don't see much difference between them and the KKK, except that the KKK was a bit more violent. Hate under the guise of church is still hate. They are quite willing to point fingers at homosexual individuals and call them dirty sinners, but their hate and their judgment are no better. It makes them sinners as well. The Apostle Paul said that we ALL are sinners and the sinning won't stop until we are perfected in the actual presence of God. But none of us are there yet. We are still on the earth in imperfect bodies, susceptible to sin.

And by the way, how can God hate? The Apostle John said that "God is love," and that "God is light, in Him there is no darkness at all." Hate is not love. Hate is not light, it is darkness. God cannot hate.

"But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes." 1 John 2:11

"This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command." John 15:12-14
