The World According To Chris Brewer

Take a look at this.

You may have heard about Westboro Baptist Church, the violently anti-gay church in Topeka, Kansas, sending members to protest funerals of soldiers who have died in Iraq as a result of IEDs. Now they’ve got some serious competition.

From CNN.com:

Wearing vests covered in military patches, a band of motorcyclists rolls around the country from one soldier’s funeral to another, cheering respectfully to overshadow jeers from church protesters.

They call themselves the Patriot Guard Riders, and they are more than 5,000 strong, forming to counter anti-gay protests held by the Rev. Fred Phelps at military funerals.

Here is a Webshots page with photos of the Patriot Guard at the funerals. Unfortunately, you’ll also see photos of WBC members in the background with their horrible protest signs.

It’s about time someone shut Phelps up. I hope he realizes he’s on a faster track to hell than anyone else, if that’s even possible. I sincerely hope and pray God gets through to that guy and his family…..their message of hate taints the Gospel and makes Christianity in general look intolerant and idiotic. Plus, if a church like that is the only chance someone has to hear the Gospel….never mind, I don’t even want to think about that.
