West Burrow church

Sorry about the subject change but after the talk about them on friday, I wanted to hear what the rest of the class has to say about it. To those that haven't heard, The West burrow Church of Tipico, Kansas Have been protesting and dishonoring the burials of the soldiers that were killed in Iraq since 2004. Not only do they interrupt the service but that scream and yell curse words at anyone that attends. They say the reason for their protest is the growing number of homo-sexuals in and out of army. They say the soldiers killed are god's punishment for our crimes. Firstly, it ticks me of that they justify their actions with the "word" of the lord. Does God look down apon homo-sexuality? maybe, maybe not. But I doubt he wants the desecration of those who lost there lives protecting our country. Another thing they do is teach their children from any early age to follow in their footsteps. I've see pictures and videos of kids no more that 6 or 7 years old holding up signs that state "Burn The Gays" or "God Hates You". Now what kind of message is that to tell your kids? they are being tought to hate something they haven't even had time to understand.
I would like to hear what the rest of you guys think about this and to have a reference, Here is a YouTube video that highlights the main points of the protests. I personally like this video because is shows Sherly Phelps Roper, a lead demostrator, getting owned by FOX' Julia Banderas.
