Westboro Goats

From our lovely friends at the Westboro Baptist Church

Westboro Baptist Church (WBC Chronicles - Since 1955) 3701 SW 12th St. Topeka, Kansas 66604 785-273-0325 GodHatesFags.com Religious Opinion and Bible Commentary on Current Events Tuesday, June 24, 2008 NEWS RELEASE GOD KILLED POTTY-MOUTH COMEDIAN GEORGE CARLIN, AND CAST HIM FORTHWITH INTO HELL. George Carlin is now in Hell, and it is irrelevant that George Carlin boasted that he did not believe in Hell when he lived on earth. Be assured, Carlin believes in Hell now. Like the rich man the Lord Jesus told about in Luke 16, who died; "and in Hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus (the beggar on earth), that he may dip the tip ofhis finger in water, and cool mytongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Lk. 16:23,24. When told that he could not have a drop ofwater, for ever, though tormented in flames, he begged for somebody to rise from the dead and preach to his kinfolk, lest they also die and come to this place of torment. George Carlin - the filthy blasphemer - the obscene potty-mouth skeptic, agnostic, and profane atheist - who had nothing but disdain for God and the Bible all the days of his tragic life - is now, at this minute and for ever writhing and screaming in exquisite pain - pleading for mercy from that God he flipped off while performing for HBO for lucre. Carlin made lots of money making fun ofGod; now he must deal with God - face to face - for ever. "The Lord thy God repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face." Deut. 7:10. When Carlin died yesterday (June 22) he split Hell wide open at once; as it is written: "Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the dead for thee. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? The worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee." Isa. 14:9,10. Two fellow perverts scrambled to report the news, both of whom will no doubt in due time join Carlin and his buddies in Hell; to wit: Lying Propagandist Keith Olbermann; and fellow filth-monger Jerry Seinfeld. All these and more are typical, antichristic American loud mouths and spindoctors. Westboro Baptist Church exists to publish Gospel Truth, and to thereby expose Satanic lies. George Carlin is in Hell. Deal with it. You will soon join him. America is Doomed. We will picket George Carlin's funeral. Amen.

I don' t think the folks at the Westboro Babptist Church realize that they are the goats in the parable of the sheep and the goats, and that if there is a hell, they are surely going there. IN case you don't know them by name, these are the "God Hates Fags" folks that picket the funerals of gays, soldiers killed in the war, and celebrities.

Matthew 25:31-46
25:31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
25:32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
25:33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
25:34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
25:35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
25:36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
25:38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
25:39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
25:40 "The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, you did it to me.'
25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
25:42 for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
25:43 I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
25:44 "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
25:45 "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'
25:46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

What a shame! I feel sorry for those ignorant folks who are a part of that "church". Certainly not "Christian" in any sense of the word as I understand it. I think God is supposed to do the "judging", not us!

You are absolutely right, Wayne. I said to Mike as I was reading this that it makes me ashamed to be a Christian. I really think these people who are critiquing George Carlin and Keith Olbermann (who I absolutely love) and Jerry Seinfeld need to look in the mirror. They could spend their time doing God's work instead of condemning fellow humans. Besides, we don't know what happens when we die, so maybe Carlin is right, who knows?

Mike,
I must say I agree with the three of you. We will find out though when it is our turn.
Love you.

I have to say that you are rather inspiring mike and I look forward to reading your future blogs.

Thanks for you courage.

Hi. I couldn't find an email address so I have to put this here, although It's off topic. Sorry.

I have included your link on my regular blog "Metacrock's Blog."

I would like to ask you to re consider your views on atheism. I hope you will read my website, come to my message boards and communicate with me on this topic. I feel that I can convene you, if not to believe in God, at least to see that a liberal version of Christianity is a much more viable position than actual atheism.

Hi Metacrock,

Thanks for posting. It's ok that you are off topic. I do read your blogs, though I haven't read your forum yet. I added your blog link to my other blog at http://ex-christian-journey.blogspot.com/. It is where I discuss spiritual matters most often, so your link will fit nicely. I don't have a lot of links to Christian sites, but there are some.

I find it interesting that you feel that liberal Christianity is a more viable position than atheism. Why liberal Christianity? I was a conservative Christian for most of my adult life, but towards the end of my faith I became a much more liberal Christian, but was no longer accepting what had gone for experiencing God as real in the past, so it just seemed unnecessary to be a CINO (Christian In Name Only.) when I didn't believe anymore.

Thanks for your comment. I look forward to reading more on your blog.

Do these people also run the KKK. I feel a strong resemblance from this. Ignorance. From reading your last few posts, it's interesting how every one seems to be judging on your beliefs alone. I work at a 'christian' organization and I'm surprised they don't question people's faith before hiring them. They're just that kind of company. Heated arguments from time to time on all kinds of random discussions.

I wouldn't say that I am ashamed to be a Christian because of their actions but I am surprised that they believe this is what Jesus called us to do. They are trouble makers for Christ. I think that people are in love with religion and self-righteousness and that they confuse this with what it truly means to be a follower of Christ.

I do have to say that if all that was out there was conservative Christianity I don't know how long I could call myself Christian. I grew up in a liberal home and the only Christian in the house. I think this has allowed me to see that Jesus' ideas can be found in both parties that we have in the USA. Also I have lived in Germany and actually plan on moving back as a "minister" or whatever it is called. So I think for my case I am required to think outside the box.

I have to ask myself, "Am I going to Germany to share the conservative right view of Jesus with the Germans or am I going their so I can share my life with them and earn the right to share the biblical Jesus with them?"

Take care Mike. I have you saved on my speeddial so I can check in from time to time. I hope that this Christian is a breath of fresh air. I have to say that your the only person I have run into, saying they are an atheist, that I don't feel like I need to put the armor on. Thanks for treating me as a person.
