of our fallen soldiers. There was a Baptist church from Kansas that brought their parishioners to Nebraska this week to protest at a funeral of a fallen soldier and the signs that they held up were just awful!!!! I feel so bad for the family that had to witness this. Can there be anything that is more UN-GOD like? Is this a sin in God's eyes?

I think they said the church group was from Kansas City but I'm not for sure. I don't care that they protest but have some respect and don't do it at funerals for any reason!

I think it's completely inappropriate to protest at a funeral. They should be considerate and show the family some respect, even though they didn't like the fact that this soldier went to fight in a war they were against.
Protesting warfare is fine, but funerals and memorials are not the right place for it.

there have been riots in lengthy island in the course of the Civil warfare and many those who lived in th colonies subsidized the British. After Sitting Bull's adult men killed Col. Custer, he toured the U. S. in assorted shows and became in no way arrested. the U. S. authorities had to deceive the yankee human beings about the Spanish American warfare (an straightforward twist of destiny grew to grow to be a terrorist attack on the Maine), The Mexican American warfare (the U.S. kept fiddling with the boundries and the Alamo became in what became then Mexico) and the WWI (the Lusitania quite did have a lot of guns onboard and the U.S. and British were utilising human shields) to get the blessing of the individuals. The Civil warfare went from conserving the Union collectively to liberating the slaves (Lincoln flopped on why the warfare became taking position). Anti-warfare protesters are infrequently new neither is the authorities mendacity to get right into a warfare. i don't think of it has that a lot result on the overall American inhabitants because there are 2 or extra prisoners contained in the U.S. for each human being member contained in the U.S. militia. each and each and every 365 days there are fifty six human beings killed in vehicle injuries than have died in Iraq and Afganistan.

Consider the source. These people are nuts. Biker groups are now patrolling the funerals to stop the protesters from getting close (go bikers!!!). I think they (the protesters) should be arrested. The governor here in Wisconsin signed a bill into law that prevents them from coming within 500 feet of a funeral - perhaps your state could follow suit. They make me sick, and I want to kick their butts.

That is awful. My cousin just passed and he was in the Navy. I would have kicked some *** if there were protesters at his funeral. I myself am not to fond of war (who is, right?). But the soldiers are just doing their job. Protecting life as we know it. Seriously those people have NO CLASS. And for a church to be doing that is awful. Our Heavenly Father was probably shaking his head at those people.

It is a sin of the Pastor to mislead his congregation. This is a terrible thing that "church" has done. The most Anti war people in the world are the warriors who must fight in them! May God bless everyone of you who have donned the uniform of the United States armed Forces! Thank you for defending my right to say this, and those idiots rights to protest you. Amen!?

NO. I am as against this war as anyone else, but if anybody had shown up at my cousins funeral (who died in Iraq) to protest a war that he had nothing to do with, I would have personally removed them, regardless of the consequences. this war is the fault of the bush administration, NOT the soldiers.

There was another family church that did the same thing and was interviewed on CNN. At first the lady was all happy until they started debating and well whomever was talking to her told her that her family was very sick.
And it's true, not all soldiers agree with the war but they most certainly agree with protecting their country. I'm not Christian, but it most certainly is a sin to put hate unto others.

The people protesting at funerals are not protesting the war.
They're protesting homosexuality; they believe that the bad course of the Iraq war is the result of god punishing america for tolerating homosexuals. They protest at funerals for publicity purposes.
This is their website. You may be tempted to think that it's a joke, or that it's made up...but it isn't:

ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is a total lack of disrespect for the fallen. Instead of protesting, they should be supporting our soldiers, many of whom don't really want to be over in Iraq, but because they have chosen to fight for this great country, that is the price that many pay. It's bad enough when they are from within your own community, but to come from one state to the other, them's fighting words in my opinion.

Personally I feel the War in Iraq has been a bungle since before it's announcement.
That being said, showing up with signs at someones funeral is simply unacceptable, and is symptomatic of grossly negligent judgment.
