| I wonder if Slayer's God Hates Us All is about the Westboro Baptist Church. The themes on the album certainly echo the amount of hatred that the Westboro love spewing about everything and everyone.
The next step will be for Westboro to hate itself ... | |

| i dont see too much difference in the hate levels between westboro and the majority of nonliberal protestant and catholic churches. theyre less subtle, ill give them that, but the world is a strange place when youre on a mission to convert everyone to your personal way of thinking like a lot of religious people are and/or damning individuals and groups for refusing to fall in line. | |

Their actions are just disgraceful and about as anti-Christian as you can possibly get. I fail to see how their message of hate - of spreading "God's hate" - is at all effective. Their preachings are neither christian nor religious, they are akin to Nazis.
I am not the most religious person here but I don't think it matters. I consider myself Christian and I believe in God - and if my understanding of Christianity is correct then it is about forgiveness and hope, it is about coming out from the dark and into the light. God doesn't hate anyone - to say that God hates us makes no sense for if he hates us, he would hate himself for creating us.
The Westboro Baptist Church abuses the freedom of speech to vilify all those whom they don't agree with and it seems they do not agree with anything and anyone except their own twisted teachings. I find it difficult to understand how they see the world and what they wish of it - how do they see humanity should behave? They preach hate, which is something Jesus Christ, our Savior, never ever preached. His was not a message of hate - rather his was a message of unity, of love and peace. Of conciliation and understanding.
What Westboro preaches is the vilification and, one would think, the physical elimination of others with whom they do not agree - that view is not entirely different from Hitler's and other megalomaniac totalitarian leaders who saw it fit to murder others because they did not agree with them.
Thankfully, the Westboro Baptist Church is still rather small and, beyond the media coverage, largely insignificant. However, as with any hate group that goes through the various stages from ideology to action - once it grows to have hardcore followers take violent actions in its name it will become a real threat to the peace and order of society.
I am just disgusted by these goons and they are in no way at all Christians or spiritual people. To say that it is good people are being killed and dying is so opposed to anything Jesus Christ taught us. DITTO. DITTODITTODITTODITTODITTO. Everything you just said I agree with in every way possible. Ya know what the jerks did? They protested at Dio's ( ) funeral for being a "devil-worshiper". Absolutely terrible people. | |

The last time I mentioned Fred Phelps political affiliation I got in trouble, but wouldn't it make more sense to call the film BLUE STATE?
Phelps is a Democrat you know.

From what I understand, it's technically not "about" Westboro, it's a horror film whose main character is a Phelps-like minister. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| Just read up on "Red State" at IMDb and it sounds pretty bad-ass. I generally enjoy Kevin Smith's films anyway, and this sounds like new territory for him.

Supposedly the villain is a cult leader who's a combo of Fred Phelps and Jim Jones (the Guyana/Kool-Aid guy). _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Jim Jones was WAY before your time. He killed 900+ of his followers in a mass suicide in Guyana in 1978. Made the Heaven's Gate UFO dude look like small potatoes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Jim Jones, like Fred Phelps, was also a Democrat, so why is Kevin Smith calling his film RED STATE?

Well, it's a horror film, and supposedly it will be quite bloody. Blood = Red. Knowing Kevin Smith, there's probably some weird ironic hipster humor to the title as well. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"
