I thought this was a really nice tribute that they did on The Voice...

I just have a hard time shaking this whole thing from my head. My niece's preschool had their Christmas concert tonight and looking at all those kids just made me think of the victims. Ugh.

Can I just say that WBC is NOT a "Baptist" church? As a southern Baptist, it is highly upsetting and disturbing that such a hate group refers to themselves as a Baptist church. They're evil. They're disgusting. And I don't know a single person of faith that has an inkling of "like" for them, much less condones them. I'd put myself in their path any day. They are a hate group. Nothing more. Nothing less.
As for the shooter's mother, I kinda of gathered that she pulled her son out of school because of bullying and mistreatment towards him. This doesn't equate to her poisoning his mind with revenge and violence. As a mother of a special needs child, it's hard to see your child seemingly beaten down emotionally, if not physically, day after day. I know many mothers of SN kids that homeschool because of this. But it doesn't mean they fill their children's heads with harsh words about others and carrying out acts of revenge.
It's very possible this mother was trying her best to deal with her lost son and help him be successful. He was 20-yrs-old, for gooodness sakes. He made up his own mind. Sadly, it sounds as if it was a broken mind.

That was a lovely tribute Southpaw *tears*
Agreed.
It's like comparing actual Muslims to the wackos who commit all sorts of violence (bombing, flying planes into buildings, etc) in the name of Allah and call themselves Muslim. Not. Even. Close.
We are Baptist......WBC does not represent ANYTHING I've seen in any Baptist charter. We have good friends who are Muslim.....they aren't terrorist or anything like those murderers.

The Voice Tribute made me tear up as well. I had started watching the episode on a different tab and halfway through the song I started wondering why it was starting with a song, and I saw them holding up Catherine Hubbards name. I can't imagine it. I read about it after coming home from working with 3 year olds, and wow. No words.
Because it gets them attention. They show up wherever they are bound to get media coverage.
Their theological reasoning is soemthing along the lines of "These people are dead because God is punishing the USA for not burning gay people at the stake."
Edit: Even the KKK hates them. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...he-kkk-meets-the-westboro-baptist-church.html
