Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone

Posted by samzenpus on from the god-hates-turtlenecks dept.

It comes as no surprise that Margie Phelps of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church has already declared the church's intention to picket Steve Jobs's funeral. What is interesting, is that she did so using an iPhone. The 142 characters of wrath read: "Westboro will picket his funeral.He[sic] had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin. MT @AP: Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died at 56."

    How are they not christian? Every christian I've ever heard of, including them, just cherry picks from the bible. So it's just that they're picking parts of the bible to side with that you don't personally agree with? I'd totally agree that they're assholes, but I don't think you can just wave away people who worship your god because of that.
