Anonymous' next target? Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church
 

I love these guys:

Poetic justice :DL

While I usually don't think that blackmailing is a legit or moral way of achieving things I somehow can't get myself to condemn Anonymous for this.:DL

So my bet is that the WBC ignores the Anonymous letter. Actually, I hope they ignore it. But something tells me that simply taking their web presence down won't stop them from raiding funerals. :lol:

Oh well. I'll just kick back and enjoy the show. :D

I wondered when this was going to happen. :D

:arrgh!:
This news warms the cockles of my dark little heart with pure joy; this will be so much better than the take on Scientology... it might even surpass yak-shaving day for the happy happy joy joy factor.:yeah:

ROFL :har:

You're pure evil, man. :03:

I wonder how Phelps aims to make money out of this.

Payback is a ..... :rock:

As typical with every religion, so many contradictions. God may have been quoted as abhorring homosexuals, but he didn't tell us to. Jesus said love your neighbor as you do yourself. Why can people follow the better way?

Because we always need someone to blame for our inability to achieve what we want. And following someone else is always easier than using ones own brain.:dead:

^^ Sad but oh so true. :nope:


Exactly. The WBC has it backwards, as do a number of other folks in the world. A person can preach all day and all night about the evils of homosexuality, but they won't be able to break through the things that I learned from religion -- which is to love thy neighbor and that God is forgiving. The two most basic things that I've carried with me my whole life.

Well, don't expect this to be just limited to web presence, anon has a lot of ability to physically assemble people. They had some success with that at the height of the scientology protests, and I would say their ability to assemble has improved since. And of course anonymous protests are always hilarious, because no blow is too low for those desensitized by the trashpile of the internets where anonymous lives and feeds most weekday evenings. Expect no quarter given :88)

I've had some reservations about some previous Anonymous gatherings, but if the Westboro church was actually active here in Canada, I'd seriously come out and join 'em for a stakeout.

krashkart the WBC has nothing to do with religious beliefs, its just a cash cow.

The thing about 4chan is that it's not really like everyone on the board is behind this. So I suppose two things could happen:

A. Lots of people can be behind it, wanting to do it for the lulz or because they're "moralfags" and the church might feel the heat.

or

B. it's like 3 people who sent an email to this church and the rest of /b/ said MYPA (not your personal army).

I'll wait and see on this one you can never really tell. I mean heck we can't even knock down a card stand in time square when we want to.

I think somebody should put them on the jehovah's witnesses' mailing list.:haha: That would keep them busy.

Knock knock!

They'd be too busy trying to convert each other to cause anybody else problems.

:O:

:D

If you're going to go the route of putting them on mailing lists, I can think of a few "special interest" magazines and catalogs that they really ought to be subscribed to. :D

Follow the rainbow. :haha:

Heck I've even personally heard a death threat spoken by a certain Catholic monk to me in person. I'm obliged to presume him as a messenger of certain lunatic man. In his words: "If you remain imbalance you will be shredded and returned to the cosmos. Do you know what cosmos means? It means balance." :shifty:

WTF? I don't know anything about cosmos but I've seen God once when I was a kid. Some people could be really farked up. People live their short 60-80 years of their life starting as a pure children at first then gradually they may regress into worse and worse person especially in the absence of the personal knowledge of God. As men are mostly irrational being most people choose whatever they want to believe and will live to try to forever prove it. In the end death is a necessity to keep the peace in the world.

The only reason I'm still a Christian is because of God and God alone. But too many Catholics naive as they can be, seem to worship their religion than anything else. They have forgotten that the point in embracing Christianity is to know God personally. Maybe God is not for everyone or rather not everyone is for God.
