Louis Theroux did a documentary on them. They picket the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan with vile messages on their sandwich boards.

I think there's about a dozen of them if that, and half of them are the preacher's family. They don't represent the Baptist Church, Religion or God in any way at all. They pretty much represent everything the Church stands against in general.

I doubt Lady GaGa will be losing any sleep over what he said.

What a wonderful and merciful god you worship.

Christainity in a nutshell: god sent himself down to earth as himself to sacriface himself to himself so he could allow himself to forgive you for your ancestor eating a piece of magical fruit in a magical garden. If you don't believe this he will sent you to be tormented for until the end of time...but he loves you.

No, not really.

But since this is the music forum, not really an appropriate discussion to be having.

Hell with Lady Gaga or Heaven with thiose hate filled bigots?

Heaven is a place where people experience eternal happiness!

What a horrible and cruel god people worship!!

You left out hell conviently. Where god sends good people to hell because they dobn't accept Jesus has their saviour.

Hell and the devil is a christain invention anyway, the Jews don't believe in a god polar opposite (devil) or the afterlife.

As for eternal happiness who would seriously want such a thing? Sure the first million years might be fun, what about the million after that? The billion after that? The trillion after at? And there is no end, it will never end.

Humans would get bored with eternal happiness, we thrive on struggle and enjoy the joyful days because they are so few. Happiness everyday would mean happiness would lose its meaning as having your birthdays or christmas's would lose their meaing.

Eternal life is a lazy idea by mortals who have gotten greedy.

You left out heaven conveniently.

You've also just explained one of the reasons why bad things happen to good people. That's pretty much what the Bible says.

I remember seeing that. Absolutely vile people. They were banned from entering the UK when they wanted to picket a gay play in Basingstoke earlier this year.
