WBC Letter To Editor:
Dear Editor,
You ran a piece suggesting our faithful words warning this nation of the consequence of its sin might be fighting words. You rely heavily on Justice Alito’s dissent, which used strong words to complain about our strong words.
At this nation’s birth, plain words that tell you if you spend your life chasing your lust, making it all about you, never fearing or serving God, you will spend eternity in hell – were welcome. Not everyone obeyed; but the policies of this nation were to resist sin, and live modestly, soberly and righteously.
Then the leaders of this land gave themselves the glory, and taught the people to glorify man instead of God. That is the quickest way to make God angry; He will not give His glory to another.
So God cursed this nation, with weak leaders, lying false prophets, and hard-hearted people. You are in prison to policies of proud sin, and for that cause God is pouring out His wrath on the USA.
For 20+ years we have been on your mean streets, entreating you and warning you. We say nothing that doesn’t come from the Bible. What a testament to your doom that you urge your highest court to treat the Bible like fighting words.
You’ve made God your #1 enemy. That, my friends, is a war you cannot win.
You should have obeyed; now it’s too late.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. was the lone dissenter in a Supreme Court case last week that ruled the First Amendment protects hateful protests at military funerals. The case was brought by the family of a Marine killed in Iraq whose funeral was the target of protestors carrying signs with messages like “America is Doomed” and “God Hates Fags.”
“Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and – as it did here – inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.”
– Chief Justice John G. Roberts, writing for the majority.
“In order to have a society in which public issues can be openly and vigorously debated, it is not necessary to allow the brutalization of innocent victims …”
