Church Ordered To Pay

If you recall this situation from a couple of months ago. I say burn them.

BALTIMORE, Oct 31 (Reuters) - A jury on Wednesday ordered an anti-gay Kansas church to pay $10.9 million in damages to relatives of a U.S. Marine who died in Iraq after church members cheered his death at his funeral.

Church members said Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's death was God's punishment of America for tolerating homosexuality, and they attended his 2006 funeral in Maryland with signs saying "You're going to hell" and "God hates you."

The federal jury determined the Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, and three of its principals invaded the privacy of the dead man's family and inflicted emotional distress.

Awesome. I've been waiting to see them have to monetarily pay for their actions.

I've read a watched a bit on the Westboro Baptist family. It is really heartbreaking to see the children and even young adults indoctrinated into this disgusting "religion". It makes you wish you could just talk some sense into them or steal their children away so that they wouldn't grow up with such hateful bs.

But yeah... good that they have to feel it in their pockets for once. Maybe it will put a little damper on their future pickets. Religion is supposed to be a private thing anyway... I wonder if they have bitched about it on their website yet.......

From what I know of them, they seem to be the Church Of The Poision Minds. Rolling Eyes

How they made the connection between gay people and dead soldiers is beyond me. These folks are brainwashed.
