special column where I go off on wild rants complaining about the things
that happen and effect my (and ours) every day life. Because of the
excessive amounts of stupidity that will be featured, a large amount of
inappropriate language will most likely be used. Also expect a large
helping of calling out and "I don't give a crap". Rated M for mature,

With constant reminders of how we are in the modern age, how we are so advanced and enlightened, how I live in richest, most powerful and most free nation in the world, I'm getting really fucking sick and tired of stories like this. How can we call ourselves the land of the free when we actively seek to deny human rights to humans? You can't say its "religious rights" when you deny rights to another, even more so when they are the same rights you would raise a bitch fest over. To make a long story short, recently the Kansas House overwhelmingly passed a bill that would
allow people and businesses to refuse service based on sexual
orientation or marital status if doing so would be contrary to the
“sincerely held religious beliefs of the individual. "Religious beliefs" wasn't clarified by the article or by the state Rep, but considering the track record, one can safely assume it means his version of what he calls christian beliefs. Also while I find the whole law insulting on a purely human level, what really stuck out with me was this;
State Rep. Charles Macheers
drafted the proposed legislation and argued it would prevent “hurtful”
discrimination, claiming the bill would give business owners their right
to religious freedom.
“There
have been times throughout history where people have been persecuted for
their religious beliefs because they were unpopular,” Macheers said.
“This bill provides a shield of protection for that.”
The Westboro Baptist Church (or WBC) is an Independent Baptist
“church” known for its extreme stance against homosexuality, other
religions, and anything else that tickles their fancy. They are also
known for their greatly offensive protest activities against fallen
service men/woman and high profile aka popular people. In this special
section created for the WBC Cult Exposed we will explore their
hateful and distorted “divine” teachings and expose them for what they
truly are, a hate group who uses religion for personal power.
By the Earth Mother, how long has it been since I last sat down and wrote one of these? Must have been at least a couple of months, at the very least. Maybe it's been work that has been keeping me away? Work has been killer with the amount of hours I needed to put into it, many of them off the clock. This or that has been breaking down will this person or that has been causing more problems then good. Maybe it's been my personal life; no never mind I don't have one. Maybe it's just that the WBC really hasn't done anything worth writing about? Sure they still protest funeral and blow more hot air than a balloon, but what's new? They have been doing the same tired crap now for years and it's getting easier and easier to tune out. The WBC just isn't that important anymore. However this coming week changed everything, what is it you wonder? Was it some photoshopped protest? Saying the 1st amendment had holes in it... in Canada? Claiming to be in the UK when they are banned from the country?No, it's something even better!

Not to long ago, this little blogger issued a contest of shorts to the
folks of the Westboro Baptist Church. If you are blissfully unaware of
what these things… er people are, then you are one lucky person
While spending my off hours trolling the WBC (can it be
considered trolling?), the email for the cult was posted on their
twitter account. AWESOME! I thought, I could pose my Q&A again
without the need to shorten it. Well I got an email back, and not
surprisingly it's something I would expect from a second grader.
Nathan "Nate" Phelps (born November 1958) is an author, speaker on religion and child abuse, and an LGBT advocate. The seventh child of Pastor Fred Phelps, Phelps has been estranged from the majority of his family since his 18th birthday.Phelps
has since declared himself an atheist. He is known for his open
criticism of the Westboro Baptist Church through literature, interviews,
public speaking at atheist conventions and his website. He states that
his father abused him and the other Phelps children and believes that
the church is an organization for his father to "vent his rage and
anger." Today I am now happy to present part one of the email Q&A I
had with Nate Phelps, otherwise known as the No H8 Phelps.
Our words are also not free floating, easily said then quickly
forgotten. Our words can linger on in people and thought, or even echo
forever in the ages. Like what is said about the internet, once you say
something it is more than likely recorded somewhere. Today’s edition
deals with language in a much different way than the previous “God H8’s”
series. In such previous titles we explored how their main message of
each video was hateful and… well crap. In today’s edition I want to
return to their previous video and twitter postings to explore the items
we might have missed. You know, the little things they let slip that
gives hint to just how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Shirley, along with other female members of her "church", preached
about a Jewish video that taught America's how to murder the WBC. While
many, myself included, would call their religious and political views
extreme, making a movie for the purposes of "Idiot's Guide to killing
WBC"... is a bit much. I was also curious that it was Jewish in nature.
You would think a people who have suffered A LOT would turn their nose to such actions. The video in question is the trailer for a new fictional movie is called God Bless America (2012). A how to guide for killing the WBC? Wut?!?
Your cult will never be as cool as Cthulhu. Or cats.

Today's posting actually came about from a Q&A session on twitter. The person in question had a lot of questions about cults. So good in fact, that I thought it would be a good idea to make a blog post about them.

So, I was planning to take a break from How the WBC Fails series to take time to write about other things in my life, most importantly my faith. I really want to take the time and write about the many wonderful things my faith has gifted to me. I want to write about how it opened my eyes and calmed my mind. I want to write about how the God and Goddess has helped me so. While many others may see Paganism as of the devil, we who are actually informed, see our faith, our religion, our heart, as joining with the natural world and coming to terms with ourselves. Yes I know it's a run on sentence, but I really don't care :) For the most part, this is still the case. Ramblings of a Pagan Guy: Light and dark is sitting in my draft section ready to be finished. However, I just had to point Firefox over to twitter (and Facebook). As anyone with a desk job can tell you, this is disastrous.

From the very birth of our world, the very first time spoken by woman or man; when the first words were uttered, the ability to communicate became an important part of our lives. For the use of religions rites, for the deepest explorations of science, to every day use with friends and family, these words drive our world forward like nothing could or ever will. Without communication, without these words of language, we would never have formed communities, (arguable) grew as a civilization nor have really cool things like video games and the internet. Love, laughter, friendship, and virtually every emotion we feel as human beings can be inspired by words. Unfortunately all the bad stuff like fear, anger, and hatred, can also be invoked by our words. Leave it to humans to screw something up >_> Our words are also not free floating, easily said then quickly forgotten. Our words can linger on in people and thought, or even echo forever in the ages.

So I’m in a bit of an odd mood at the moment. I’m excited for the up coming commercial Christmas, but no so much for the “five months of bills” part. Honestly, why does everything need to cost so bloody much these days?! I am super excited about the amazing Yule celebrations this year, but will probably one again find myself solo in such celebrations. It would seem not many pagans are to be found in a mostly Catholic area. But then again, I do have a rather impressive collection of Doctor Who on my hard drive now, so all can’t be that bad eh? After all who doesn’t think Doctor Who is amazingly awesome?

And so here we are...
With the final movie of the god h8's series now under review, this blogger finds himself recalling the past and how much it has effected him. All I need now is some prune juice, a rocking chair and some kids to tell "back in my day"... When I look back at all the traveling I have done, all the people I have met because of joining the anti-wbc movement, I see how this endeavor has allowed me to see so much more than the sheltered child of my youth could. I have always said how there is a HUGE difference between saying and actually being part of a religion, but to see it first hand. It's can be a beautiful and wonderful thing at times or like in the case of our cult, perverted to be a horrid disgusting thing. I have seen how belief and faith are what truly makes a person, not just saying the religion they follow. I have seen that while life does get better, victory can not be claimed just yet. Hate, discrimination, deceit and just not giving a damn still have a iron hold. So much so that no single event will ever change it. Remember back a little under four years ago, when the presidential elections where taking place? For the first time in... well ever, a black man was running for the highest office in the land. Not only was he running, but with a amazing use of his well devolved public speaking skills he actually won! For many, this seemingly impossible election heralded the end of racial hate. It was thought that with the election of this single man the long history of inequality would finally close. >_> The whole race card thing would become a thing of the past, and things like "you're black" and "you're white" would be replaced with "you're human" Yea right, this is humanity we are talking about! Despite all the feel good mojo we had floating around, the worse still pollutes it. Violence and misdeeds committed against people because of bullshit excuse of race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation remains a serious problem in America.

There is a common bond that links all of the Earth based faiths together, a need for simplicity. Pagan's do not over complicate lives or teachings. They do not rely on “the great mysteries of some far away place” when the Divine is present all around us. They live their lives with nature, not against it and do no harm and do what we will. It’s even reflected in another of their many sayings “in perfect love and perfect trust.” In short, it means when one is giving ones self to another or to the Divine, on does without reservation, with nothing but love in their hearts and bearing no ill. No what if’s, do double standards, just like the Beatles, all we need is love. To fill ones lives with such senseless hate, it's considered a abomination! Why fuzzle your life with stupid drama when you don’t have to? This is why I am so disgusted already with this video, how could the WBC do this to a child, then display it proudly like that? What this cult is doing to this child, the hate they are filling him with… it unforgivable. Even worse, they (the kids) are seen as disposable shields rather than a life.

Perhaps ignorance really is bliss? When you (claim) not to know, or willing fool yourself, it seems the sky’s the limit! No one can judge you, no one can make the foolish claim of being better than you. HA! Simpletons! I’m kinda surprised the WBC doesn’t have that as a sign yet…When you are ignorant to the fact that you are doing ill, when you mistaking believe the world revolves around you, how could you possibility do anything wrong? After all what’s the point of following the evil vile laws of "imperfect humanity" when god himself has giving you a personal “you are elect do what ever you want” card! I wonder if the various family members of the cult are even capable of rational thinking any more. Of course when you consider how excited they where over the 9/11 event, I think we may have our answer. In today's video, we have host Rachel Mii attempt to persuade the viewers that god is the source of all happenings in the world. This would included the fact that every “disaster” is punishment from god because of what ever the WBC happens to be protesting at the time. They are still on gay people right? Or is it 7/11 and wawa now? Much like the previous installments of their God H8’s series, they do little to hide their ignorance and egotistic attitude.
The fact is they are right, and you are wrong, and there is jack shit you can do about it. Just like last time, and times before that, I will show you just how wrong they are.

I embed the above video (don’t worry, I’ll still have some cat pics somewhere in here) today because I think it speaks a lot to my discontent and sheer disgust of this WBC video, and well the cult in general. We have so many problems in the world; more than one person can ever fix, is it not time we come together as a whole and address these problems? Shouldn’t we abandon silly notions of skin color, sexual preference and even religious prodigious to work together to better the world we live in? I mean we only get one, it’s not like we can all move to Mars after trashing this place. Love can and will find a way, but only if we give it a chance! Look at these kids, all of them from different backgrounds; you think they care what the color of a person’s skin is? What their faith is? If they are gay or straight? These kids are suffering from serious illness, and they still create something so ... glorious! How frigging amazing is that?!?! They create a beautiful world by light and shadow, and I am not ashamed to admit it brings a tear to my eye. The shear beauty, the... damn I could go on and on about them. But regrettably this little musing isn't about them, its about... not so happy things. Back at the WBC, spewing hate, purposely causing pain for some fucked up ego? Disgusting!

At the time of this written, it has been a little over five months since I started the rebuking and discrediting of the cult. In these five months I have studied and researched them, I learned more and more about what goes on in their collective heads. I have also read more of the bible than I ever thought I would. From Youtube videos (both from and about them), to published articles and twitter, I have learned much about these people and the patterns they have. One common theme of theirs is using a variety of selective (and often out of context) bible verses to support more hate than any one person should have. Ffrom protesting dead people, to labeling groups as “horrid evil sinners that will destroy the world”, these people have pushed the limits as to what it means to hate. Today’s video, “God don’t make no junk, we are all God’s children” has them again explain to us how God does indeed make junk to burn in hell. He does this with a series of bible verses….

Hello, my name is Hank.
With my recent dedication to rebuking the lies and slander of the Westboro Baptist cult, I thought I take a post to explain why I was actually doing it. But who are the WBC? They are a group of inbreed twats that are nothing more than egotistical hot heads bent on destroying peoples lives for the sole purpose of attention. Utilizing a twisted version of the Christian Bible to look down nearly everyone but themselves, they see themselves as supreem god fearing people, aka just better than everyone else. So as a act of defiance against them and their god, I’ve taken up the cause to rebuking and disproving their horridly offensive “God H8’s” videos. In these videos, they once again try to use the words of the bible to state as fact everyone is going to hell. By various bible verse, teaching of Christ, and proper translation, what I do is show them just how wrong they are. And yes I enjoy every minute of it. But why do I bother devoting so much time and energy to a group that neither cares for it, nor can I successfully bring down on my own?

John 3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Imagine if you will, the last time you where at a baseball game*1. One (or both) of your parent’s took you for your birthday, maybe even for some family times. You’re tailgating with your best long time friends, kicking back a few beers and having some laughs. This, my readers, is the bloody life*2. While waiting for your favorite team to totally school the other idiot loser and super lameteam, or maybe even during break, you may have glanced over the ballpark, just to pass the time. Or maybe instead, you are at home with your buddies, having some beer and BBQ? Gods I really want ribs now… You have the big game on, and at some point the camera guy does a sweep of the crowd. DO THE WAVE! Either way, you will eventually see some guy with a poster board, and on it, the subject of today’s rebuking and WBC drama.
The poor thing saw the face of the WBC
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
What he said: "If you just read the words..."
When I fist began writing this little rebuking (really I was just planning on like two pages), I had my laptop beside me with about twenty different tabs open on various explanations of the above verse. The first few tabs pertained to hundred plus page essays on various meanings and assumptions of the above verse. Others where analysis’s of every word and phrase to find the hidden secret message of the verse. It was like some bible code crap was going on here. The remaining where frigging analysis’s of analysis’s. After hitting the three day mark of reading this and that, I threw up my hands and said “to hell with it”. Seriously why would such effort, time, and research be needed for such a simple verse? Hell even this pagan understands it just fine!

Bible Verse use:
Thes. 2:14-15:For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men
Acts 3:12-15: And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Matt. 27:22-25: Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Name: The Bible is subject to interpretation- Pt 10 of WBC's GOD H8S vid

Bible Verse use:
2 Pet. 1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
So here we are big number ten.
Hitting this half way mark, I found my self reflecting on the time spent on this so far. I also found myself returning to previous entries to clean them up a bit. Which I do hope many of my readers will forgive me, in my haste to disprove such cults, I sometimes (often) find my spelling and grammar lacking. While I am still not not Catholic nor do I have any wish to be, I still appreciate the learning experience it has been for me. Learning the true message of the man Jesus, learning just how meanings of various words and phrases can change over the decades, and even learning a bit of Hebrew along the way! Perhaps you can remember with me quickly how, in past editions, I have wrote at length (and burning eyes ugh!) on how this or that translation could not only destroy the flow of a verse, but also cause a great amount of confusion. A very good and often sighted example of this is how the WBC used Jer 17:9 to show the hearts of humans are evil 24/7 365. If we used the same translation or interpretation for the rest of the bible, well Jesus turns into an evil most foul. Yea…Today’s video is somehow fitting for our half way mark. In today's review/rebuking; we have WBC cult member Fred Jr inform us that the bible is NOT subject to interpretation.That everything writing in the bible is the firm word of law of their god that can not be ignored, negotiated, or revised. As a not so hidden side message, the WBC also try to prove with this video is that everything they have said to date (and will continue to say) is also the world of law.

Name:I’ll Pray for you - Pt 9 of WBC's GOD H8S vid

Bible verses mentioned:
Psalm 109:7:When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
James 5:16:Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Hipster kitteh also thinks the WBC is insane
Self Importance.
Excessively (and often unwarranted) high regard for one's own importance or station; conceit.
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.
