Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone
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."
Nothing but attention whoring, they shouldn't be given press at all.

Posting stories on Slashdot / Putting it on CNN is only helping them get what they crave : Attention.
Some problems are best ignored - then they'll fade away out of frustration when they realize they're not getting the attention.
Blah blah - free press - I get it. I'm not asking for a law but common sense to take place.

There's a gorilla from Manilla whose a fella that stinks of vanilla and has salmonella.
Of course they do, they're a family of professional trolls - literally. That's how they make their money. Spout off a slew of hateful garbage, push people to the breaking point, and let the lawsuits fly.
Why do people help these people spread their vile?
"Vile" isn't a thing one can metaphorically spread.
Unless you're talking Vegemite or Marmite - that shit is spreadable vile incarnate.
I'm an adult with faith but his complaint seems more than warranted.

You thought they were sincere?
Their whole schtick is to be assholes and then sue anyone who confronts them.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Is God both willing and able to prevent evil?
Then how does evil still exist?
Is God neither able, nor willing to prevent evil?
Then why call him God?
Is 1563649 a prime number?
He was not unique. I can attest that all Catholics are indoctrinated this way. It's been said that the quickest way to become an atheist is to grow up in a Catholic household, because of this kind of religious mindscrew.

Sounds like you were quite a fuck-up.
Sounds like you have no idea what a strict Catholic upbringing is like. As a recovered Catholic myself, I can attest that the entire basis of the Cath-lick faith is to have zero self-worth. Anything good you do is attributed to God's power. Anything 'evil,' and, well, bend over, Satan's concubine!
And, if you do, somehow, manage to come out of that intact, you'll generally be jaded.
Consistency is only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

I can attest that not all Catholics are indoctrinated this way. I can however attest that people with a narrow mindset will say things like this.
