seriously beating a dead horse now.

these people are so boring and unimaginative that they can't even come up with anti-santa retoric which is NOT EXACTLY THE SAME as their anti-gay retoric. i don't believe santa has ever been considered homosexual, so he can't POSSIBLY be to blame for ALL the same things as the GAYZ.

i love this video because it proves once again that these people and their "faith" is nothing more than a pathetic attempt at shock value and the desperate hope that somebody will be offended by them and give them some attention. so pathetic. after we've seen the same gag/stunt repeated over and over, we start to not care. if you're going to be as offensive as possible, at least be clever about it. come up with something new. some new slogans or signs or SOMETHING. please.

however... i can't JUST roll my eyes at them because they could really be damaging those children. raising children in an environment like that is child abuse. i don't think there's any other way to look at it.

I know I am.

But the video is funny and sad. I didn't post this video because we yet again need to be pissed off that WBC is a cult of narrow-minded haters; I just find their rhyming and parody ridculous. It's funny that they put some much time and effort into publicly expressing their off-putting relgious views, and as you noted, with hardly any originality. It's a messed up church messing up its members. Which is the sad part of it. Those children have no choice. It'd be nice if they could be shown a different upbringing outside of their church, but it probably won't happen.

They adamantly express their hatred, but the bottom line of it is that the only thing we can do is laugh at them for being so absurd.
