I think you'll agree they are deluded and very, very strange people
And to be fair I was refering to "Westboro Church" as being strange”
But surely isn't what you're doing exactly the same as the priest saying that "Lady Gaga is going to hell". You don't know all of them, yet you think you're justified to be nasty to them.
Fair enough, if you're angry with the people that made the websites and said those things (I'm angry at them too, actually, it's not very nice), but you can't be angry with the WHOLE religion for it.
For example, there's many people that think muslims shouldn't be allowed in the country because 5,000 of the 1,500,000,000 (or whatever the true statistic is) muslims in the world are terrorists. There's people who think that black people deserve to be hated because, in general, they're less law abiding than white people. I'm black, so this especially annoys me. However, I'm not a muslim, or gay, or whatever, but all this discrimination really annoys me.
As I said, I have a close Baptist friend, who is one of my favourite people in the world, and has brought me so much happiness. You've never, ever met her before, yet you're saying nasty things about her. And on top of that, she loves Lady Gaga.
I'm not really that bothered. In 20 years time, people will look back in horror at the noughties when gay people couldn't get married in dozens of countries, and people could send death threats to christians and muslims, and nobody care, and so on, and be horrified.
