Modern religion gone very wrong

From MSNBC:

The radical Baptist church known for picketing the funerals of American soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq has announced that they intend to protest Heath Ledger’s stateside memorial service because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”

“You cannot live in defiance of God. He (Ledger) got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it's OK to be gay,” said Shirley Phelps in a statement sent out by the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church.

Whatever happened to "Let he who was without sin cast the first stone"???

These people are hyenas in the guise of religious zealots. (And yes, I realize the hypocrisy of that statement. That still doesn't mean that it isn't true.)
