I couldn’t believe my ears when I found out that Westboro Baptist church was going to protest at Heath Ledger’s funeral. Why the heck? The pastor of this church is this guy Fred Phelps. He’s an anti-gay extremist. Maybe it’s because he’s over-compensating for his own primal urges?
Who in their right mind would protest at a funeral? I don’t care if it’s a freaking ax murder. Let the person rest in peace!! That’s just downright rude! Heath isn’t even gay for goodness sakes, he played a gay person. They’re saying he supports gays by playing that role. So then Anthony Hopkins is also promoting cannibalism because he played one, Hannibal Lecter, in film Silence of the Lambs. I’m sure.
Sometimes I don’t even want to say I’m a Christian anymore. What the heck does it mean to the public anyway? All they see of us is these wackos that are out there thinking they’re doing God some sort of favor. Their behavior is a lot less Christ-like than that of Heath Ledger. I think hate mongering might be a little worse than playing some roll about love in a movie.
Perhaps I shouldn’t call myself that anymore. I guess I am just someone who accepts the free grace that Christ provided of me. To be a Christian these days seems to be something way different than that. Showing disrespect to the dead, being biggot assholes, teaching people to hate. Christ didn’t picket anywhere. Sin isn’t an outward thing, it’s all inside of us. You may think you look tasty my friend but no one likes biting into a rotten grape. Picketing at some funeral isn’t going to get you a shinier crown in Heaven my friends. In fact, I’m not sure you’ll be wearing one, you might decide that once you get there that you’re too good for the place.
