Members of a fundamentalist Kansas church were ordered to pay nearly $11 million in damages to a grieving father for picketing his son's funeral.
Church members promised to picket future funerals with placards bearing such slogans as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."

It's just a bunch of radicals. These people make me sick. Believers and non believers, they come in all shapes and forms, and nothing we will ever do will stop them. I believe in God and I have a lot of beliefs that I don't share with others because really it's none their business, but one of my beliefs is that I'm Pro-Life. Every day on my lunch break I get stopped by these crazy anti abortion bible thumpers, and they make me ill. They have horrible signs with pictures of aborted fetuses and sometimes they throw fetus baby dolls at the people passing by. Really, what point does that get across to anyone other than to avoid walking on that side of the road in the future. I understand and respect all people's beliefs and convictions, political and religious. but I cannot tolerate extremists.

LOL whats funny is that the church will cease to exist. The $3+ million the church has avilable to it will be given to the father and all the property that the church owns will belong to him. After that, any monies collected for the church will have to go to the father.
So, at that point, the people will be out there doing this as individuals. The result being that they will be sued and everything they own will be taken away.
At some point you have to ask yourself if its really worth the loss of everything just to be an a$$hole?

It very well might. And, based on the court decision, He's pissed. One can only hope that these nimrods lose their church and all assets to help pay the judgment against them. If I had been there, I would have b""" slapped everyone of them and taken the heat for an assault charge.

I am chalking it up to points Loose Change.
Remember that satan was ordered out of heaven to rule below. What we now call earth was satan's territory, before Adam and Eve.
When Eve chose satan over God in her decision to disobey him, that was satan's first victory.
God -----0
Satan ---1
It has been war ever since.
Evil rules the earth, so why is God to blame?
These people are just giving satan more power by being deceived by him. I am sure God tried his best to win these people over, but he lost the challenge. Then another weapon in the devil's arsenal known as mob mentality, took hold.
Another point to satan.
Win some, lose some. Why is this so hard to understand?
I found it very easy. So did Shakespeare, He called it a Stage.
I call it a Playing Field.

Those nuts should be kicked in the teeth. If that church receives any federal or state funding, then their "church" should be picketed every Sunday.

How does anybody know what God wants or says? Everything is based on what humans want to believe in life.
That damn church should burn down...if that was my brother who died (2 brothers in Middle East) and they protested at the funeral...they'd have no were to pray.

I'm not really sure how this is supposed to make one believe there is a God, but since I already do believe there is a God, I guess me answer would be no.

They are not Christians, they are radical KKK or Nazi nut cases. they should all be put out of our misery. They once protested when a mine caved in in Kentucky and the town was trying to get the miners out. They were there to protest getting them out.

Sort of, however I am more apt to believe in Karma based upon the details of that story.
