I would think they are negligible with the gay kids, too. If not, they have issues bigger than these idiots.

In most cases, probably. But I have no doubt that WBC has helped push a small handful over the edge by being the last straw to break etc etc. And that's just sad to think about, so I'm not going to.

I don't know a lot of people that subscribe to the Church of Ben Franklin. That's even more interesting, because it tends to support this, which tends to torpedo a major point of this. So, you've got a lot of Protestants that take a shitload of issue with it already. Are their opinions as invalid as the Hindus because you have a huge, major, critical point of doctrinal contention with them? How far away would you have to be from a Christian denomination's fundamental beliefs before you could regard their opinion with the same nonchalance as that of say, a Hindu or Buddhist?

I'm also going to point out that Ben was not known for being the most virtuous chap on the block.

He's done. I forgot he was a lawyer. He might burn in hell for that before anything else.

I do remember that they represented themselves in court dealing for their free speech civil trials. I honestly think that's the reason they were doing what they did. They made a killing in settlements before everyone figured out you couldn't stop them legally.

If there's any justice in this reality, he'll be reincarnated as the gay offspring of one of his grandchildren.
