“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Romans 1:32)
Dear Westboro Baptist Church:
I recently saw an interview with WBC (the interviewer was not Louis Theroux or Keith Allen, but it was another British fellow, his name eludes me for the moment).
Anyhow, he was talking to a female WBC member (I think that perhaps it was Jael), and she expressed the view that “fag-enablers” including anyone who expressed liberal views appropos homosexuality should face the death penalty. The interviewer asked, “Including me?” and she replied in the affirmative.
This is exactly what I mean, in terms of the WBC sometimes holding double-standards. WBC members rightly complain about some people trying to violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (which guarantees freedom of speech and expression), by trying to silence, sue, or use violence against WBC members simply for expressing their (WBC members’) points of view.
And yet, here is a WBC member talking about doing exactly the same thing to others she disagrees with. Even if homosexual behaviour per se were re-criminalized and subject to imprisonment or even the death penalty throughout the U.S., people in the U.S. would still be free to express liberal opinions regarding homosexuality and homosexuals, as per the Second Amendment.
To try to enforce anything otherwise would violate the U.S. Constitution. Of course, she is free to say that she wishes that “fag-enablers” were subject to capital punishment simply for expressing their perspectives, but such a statement is hypocritical and inconsistent to say the least.
Sincerely, Brian.
Seoul, ROK.
Hello Brian —
She is not the government. PERIOD! She cannot make anyone do anything. But she can and will tell ALL the standards of God. See Romans 1:18-32.
Thanks for writing.
