The Only Way to Deal With Hate is to Love Even More.

Interesting topic that came to mind, after reading about it in several outlets about the infamous Westboro Baptist Church. Not so much are they leading figures of controversy like Hitler or Jerry Springer, but more or less an unintended cultural phenomenon. I read them in magazines as various as Newsweek, Spin, or People, see them on News networks and televisions shows like South Park, and watch on the internet making their own internet sensation attacting millions of views. I have to figure, i guess, they're like reality stars that are somewhat flawed and definitly show mammoth emotions to things we can concider quite immoral; yet somehow, we can't take our eye off of a single movement they make. Kinda like any reality show on MTV or the first half of American Idol, there's nothing more to strengthen the pride in ourselves then group of flawed individuals.

But let me rewind and summerize a bit. Not so many people appeal to them main for one specific point they stand very strongly by: God hates everyone. Mainly because America is so tolerant of homosexual people that they believe that everyone who do not follow God's interpretation of damning all the homosexuals should also be damned and will greatly hate you. It's kinda funny how God created so many people to hate. But it's like my dad always say, "With twelve guys always following around eating dinner, watching his miracles, why wouldn't Jesus be gay?" Good point.

Then again, I never want to veer a one-sided viewpoint. It's in the Constitution for free speech. That's how they recently won the case that went to the Supreme Court how they kept picketing at a father's funeral as his son was killed in Iraq. It's a pretty obvious move to file a lawsuit about people starting commotion at a pretty depressing event, but it's slap on the head when you realize that majority of the Church Members are lawyers. Ouch.

So, in conclusion, i don't wanna promote something that's greatly itching for public attention as it would only help that cause I don't want to be so much a part of. So, i guess the message is to don't let emotions get the best of you. try not hate as life is to short to be angry all the time. hate only leads to hate, and yeah yeah yeah. what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? I guess Michael Moore is way ahead of all of us.

Thank You, Elvis Costello!
