Heath Ledger's memorial protest?!? What is wrong with these people? No, seriously, what's wrong with them?

we all know by now about the sad death of the actor Heath Ledger. i'm not here to talk about the hows and whys of his death. i honestly don't care if it was suicide or accidental, what drugs he was on, or where they found him. he seemed like a good guy, he had a young daughter, i thought that he was a good actor who chose some really good projects to work on, and now he's gone. it's terribly sad.

what concerns me the most (other than the fact that his now 2 year old daughter has lost her father and the grief of his friends and family) is that there are INSANE right-wing Christian conservatives who are mocking his death and planning on picketing and protesting at any memorial or funeral services that will be held (some even say that if they are to take place in australia, that they will fly out there to picket). all of this is because of Heath's role in the film Brokeback Mountain.

a) do these people know that he wasn't really gay?

b) are they SO anti-homosexuality that they are going to devastate this man's family and friends by interrupting his funeral with shouts and jeers?

c) even if he was gay, he's dead now. why are they still on him?

d) what the hell is wrong with these people?

e) seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

you can find what i'm about to print here on their UNBELIEVABLE website http://www.godhatesfags.com/ (seriously?)

this is all about the westboro baptist church

this is part of the news release that they put out. they are sick bastards.

"Yes. WBC will picket this pervert's funeral, in
religious protest and warning: "Be not
deceived; God is not mocked." Gal. 6:7. Heath
Ledger thought it was great fun defying God
Almighty and His plain word; to wit: God Hates
Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the
sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with
vomit known as 'Brokeback Mountain' - and He
hates all persons having anything whatsoever
to do with it.
Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and
has begun serving his eternal
sentence there - beside which,
nothing else about Heath Ledger is
relevant or consequential."

the fact that these people are really going to do this makes me ill. the fact that they would even THINK to do this makes me ill. nothing else about him is consequential?!? yeah, i'm sure that Jesus is totally down with this decision, you fuckheads.

YOU WANT SOME BIBLE QUOTES, JACKASSES???

"Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matthew 7:1).”

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:12).”

"But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, 'He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."' (John 8:7)

Let a man who did you no wrong rest in peace. Let him family mourn him. Leave him be. If anything, pray for him. That's what Jesus would do. I don't even practice that faith and I know this. How is it that I know more about your God than you do? You are not Christians, you have created your own world of hate and you will dwell in it forever.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Heath Ledger's friends and family. I know that they are going through a really hard time right now, and I'm so sorry that you have these people to deal with on top of everything else. May he rest in peace. I'm sure he will be dearly missed.
