Not much to say today... I'm actually not sure how to respond Christian-ly to this one. You know the "Baptist" church that goes out and protests military funerals, saying that God is judging America by killing its soldiers because of the homosexuals? Well, that church lost a court case in Maryland, and is now required to pay some 10 million dollars. That's what the CNN News Story is above.
Maybe the judgment of God is not killing American soldiers, but having the government (His executor of judgment) heavy fines against them. Homosexuality, Sodomy, whatever you want to call it, is a sin, but at the same time, so is lying... being uncharitable... pride... fornication... All of those things have been accepted in America today too. There are right and wrong ways to go about it.
Anyway, just a thought...

His one phrase says it all..." 'This will elevate me to something important,' Phelps told reporters."
He just needs to be thankful for God's longsuffering!
I know one church we will cross of on the Deputation Trail!
The Phelps are not Baptist, nor Christian. They are indeed tools in satan's hand to assult Christianity. Their work is especially damaging to street ministry, as they take even the stereo-type to the next level. It was images of the Phelps that the "For the Bible Tells Me So" movie used to portray the Christian response to homosexuallity.
Yeah, Jan, there's no way they could support you after $10 million fine... I would cross them off too!
Shannon, I agree with you... but he does take the Baptist name on his church. We just need to make sure that we give it a good name when we use it!
