Today is a great win for freedom of speech. When Fred Phelps dies we can all go to his funeral and shout FRED WAS A FAG! FRED WAS A FAG! We have to be very careful with our definitions though. In this context I'm using the word "Fag," as someone or something god hates--like people in the UK call cigarettes fags--god obviously hates cigarettes like he hates shellfish, yeast, foreskins, goats cooked in it's own mothers milk, and animals with bruised testicles. So I may use the term fag differently than others may use it. For example, when I go to a seafood restaurant I like to order fag scampi. You have to be very clear about this--you don't want to cross the line and commit libel or slander a dead man at his funeral.
Why is it that we see more Christians protesting gay marriage than we see protesting the Westboro Baptist Church? Because, ironically, they can back up their protests biblically. Why do you not see moderate Muslims being more proactive in stopping the radical islamo-fascists ? (I'll give you a hint--it has to do with their holy books) There's no sense pretending--religion is bad for you and it’s bad for society. Luckily, we live in a secular nation and have the freedom of speech to say so.
Here it is in case you haven't read it in a while:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Since I’m on my soapbox I may as well say it. I’m tired of people assuming that everyone believes in the bible. Sometimes you just don’t want to hear what the bible has to say. Here’s an example (I apologize in advance for posting something so disgusting)
Psalms 137:9 (New International Version)
“Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks”
