The sad this is that there was at least one person here criticizing Bandaras, not the Phelps woman.

Why do you assume both can't be criticized?

[Mr. Brightside]

One poster here compared Bandaras to Satan. But had nothing bad to say about the Phelps woman.

I simply thought that was a little out of balance.

I agree!

This church should not be desecrating American soldiers funerals, and using angry, coarse language to denounce America's moral failings in a way that suggests that God has already pronounces Hell as as America's judgment.

On the other hand, as we look at our moral problems in America's culture, we who denounce the Westboro church clan for their stridency, should not presume that God will forever hold back his discipline upon our nation. Such judgments may very well start in the churches of God first and spread from there.

So it seems to me two truths are being communicated here, our nation may very well be judged but so may its churches as well, based on their Christlikeness, or "lack there-of"!

The tares may indeed grow in the same soil as the wheat, and it may be harvest before the wheat is separated from the tares....but until such a harvest, both wheat and tares get the same sun and rain...and both suffer when the locusts come!
