Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka said that she and other members will picket Ledgers United States memorial services, not those held in his native Australia.
You cannot live in defiance of God, she said. He got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and its OK to be gay.
A press release circulated by the church references Leviticus 18:22 in the Bible, which states that thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Don't these bums have anything better to do this is sickening. But they protested our veterans funerals and Mr. Rogers (or at least tried to). So I guess I am not surprised. Oh and RIP Heath Ledger.

I thought someone recently won a 9mil judgment against them?
That didn’t shut them down, I see?

I would pray for Shirley and Co. to get hit by a bus, but the Lord would never grant that.
He'd sent TWO buses.

I have long held the belief that Fred Phelps is a big homo himself and this theatrics are intended to assuage his own guilt and shame.

I must be confused.... or have the wrong Bible. Mine says “judge not.....” and says that God will do the judging. Folks like these protesters should be ashamed of calling themselves Christians. By now, this young man has already been judged. They don’t have any business protesting his funeral.

Nah. Fred Phelps always shows up where he can get the most publicity. He’s a publicity junkie with a pile of lawyers behind him.

With the amount of coverage Ledger's death has gotten over the last 24 hours, you'd think he was a National hero.
Get over it media and agenda driven politicos, the crux of his fame is that he pretended to be gay in exchange for money.
That said, I really liked Ledger as an actor in many of his roles.
The Westboro Baptist folks are a prime example of the religious left and what can happen when a lawyer gone bad gets his license to practice law pulled.

He is simply a crazy man, with a few dedicated crazy followers. They are just crazy. No one should be indulging their madness.

Aren't you judging the Phelps' in violation of what you just said? I'm not supporting the Phelps, just showing that your reading of Scripture is unreasonably narrow. We are also told to judge people by their fruits. "By their fruits you shall know them".

Getting a judgment and getting it paid are two completely different things.

Exactly — “by their fruits you shall know them” not “by their fruits you shall judge them”

Westboro Baptist Church: the people who think the series `F Troop’ was a PBS documentary.

But they protested our veterans funerals and Mr. Rogers (or at least tried to).I can't even begin to understand these people. But I'm curious... What was their reasoning for trying to protest Mr. Rogers' funeral?

The Apostle Paul wrote that it’s only okay to judge those IN YOUR CHURCH. Anybody else is God’s business..............
