Anti-Gay Group Protest–Adam Lambert Concert

This past week in San Jose, California, at an American Idol concert, “Hate” was the vibe outside. A group of protesters from a Topeka, Kansas, church, named Westboro Baptist, were directing their hateful chants towards homosexuality. Their website, God Hates Fags.com explains their view points and beliefs……

Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America’s enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world’s last hope. read more about WBC

One of Lambert’s fellow American Idol friends was also preforming during the protest outside the concert. StarPulse.com has released the following…….Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, “Funny how people think it’s a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don’t mind these people, we are a strong family.”

I must say how disappointed I am in the Westboro Baptist Church. The contents of their web site is so “Hate Oriented”. I thought the purpose of a “Christian Church” was to proclaim Jesus, love God, and love their fellow man. Well this is not what they are doing. They are going all over the place and preaching Hate. I don’t know about their “god”, but my God does not hate and would never tell his “children” to go out and preach for the devil.

These churches, that are completely radical and on the verge of becoming a modern day cult, are spreading their message of hate across America, and using God’s name to do it. Their are a lot of uneducated bigots not only in America, but all around the world who have and will continue to use hate as a weapon against others who have a different religious belief or who live a different lifestyle. The notion that hate can consume an individual or a group should not be taken lightly. All we have to do is clothes our eyes and look back in history to know that such things can and do happen.

In the end there will always be hate. Not just in America, but across the world. There will always be radical groups proclaiming “gods” name in their message of hate. In America we have rights. We have right to form and state our opinions, even when everyone else might not share our same views. Freedom is what we are entitled to. Just because we disagree and are appauled with these “hate” groups, they will always continue to exist and deliver their messages of damnation. What we can do is take a stand and shout out loud that hate will not not win. We can proclaim that hate will never be acceptable. Stand up and denounce hate, refuse to let hate dictate how we live our lives. We are in America, and we have rights. The right to be free. Free from Hate.
