Hey…it’s been a while, I know. I’m in the process of packing up stuff, painting a new apartment, and preparing to move and start a new job. So, please…bare with me.
Anyways…here’s a tidbit. I stumbled upon this picture and it struck me as ironic…who’d have thought that Darth Vader started out so…innocent? Not sure who the artist is…but nice job. It makes my art look pathetic.
I also came upon another picture that I thought was pretty sweet…it’s a depiction of Mario fighting Bowser in the style of traditional Japanese artwork. Also, note the Vader helmet in the corner…hmm.

So, while stumbling on Firefox, tonight, I came upon the most sickening website for a church I’ve ever seen. The church’s name is Westboro Baptist Church. Located in Topeka, KS, they feel that the best way to spread the word of God and news of God is by…well…hating. The website alone is called Godhatesfags.com and it is the most revolting thing I think I’ve ever seen “preached” by any religious group…but it especially bugs me because I am a Christian. They claim in a long, drawn-out writing that God does not love everyone, but rather hates a large majority of mankind. It just goes against everything that the Bible teaches…especially when it says, “38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ -Matthew 22:38-39. I’ve always remembered that verse when it came to my feelings about others. Also, the Bible is clear that we should not judge others… “1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” -Matthew 7:1-3.
I’m not wanting to sit here and preach, but it is sickening. This church preaches hate, they put out horrible press releases…they’re everything that turns people away from God. I just don’t know who they think they are and what they think they’re accomplishing…but I do know that they should be stood up to or shut down. Freedom of religion should not extend into areas of slander and persecution. They picket at funerals of people that they oppose. Can you imagine…? It’s horrible. They’re not worth the price of the dirt it would take to bury them. I can just imagine that they will be first in line come judgment day and I do not think God will find favor with them.
I don’t know how to speak out against this group and others like it…but I do think it should be done. If anyone has info on standing up to these types of groups, let me know. And if you’re still not convinced that they’re screwed up, then check out their picket signs.
