Trolling, anyone?

Nonprofit buys house across from Westboro Baptist Church and paints it colors of gay pride flag* * - NY Daily News

Nuff said.

That looks awesome. I wish more houses where that colorful, regardless of reason... but hey, now at least one good thing has come from all that crap.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Does not look good with the roofing, but otherwise I love it! Looks like a funhouse

 

[Madhuri]

If they really want to have an impact, they should do mardi gras on that street.

 

[BSM1]

This should bring out the signs.

That what I thought. The house looks spectacular. :0)

 

[ChristineES]

The WBC had that coming.

 

[Thunderfoot]

Good on them.

 

[gnomon]

Never before have I seen the least thing in this country get what seems like the most attention from people in this country.

Then you have to shake your head realizing that is exactly what these people want.

Planting Peace starts orphanages and paints houses all pretty like. That's cool.

If it wasn't for the roof that would be a pretty house. And how I hope it makes that congregations skin crawl to see it.

unfortunately not

As for their neighbors, Steve Drain, a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, told the Daily News that they aren’t worried about the “goofy rainbow house.”
“I think it’s amazing. I thank God for that house,” he said, “because what it does is shine a brighter and brighter light on our message.”
He said that if the church was not preaching that “God hates ****” and “God hates ***-enablers,” there wouldn’t be anything unique about painting a rainbow house across the street from them.
“This is just another instance where someone is declaring their sin as Sodom,” he said, referencing Isaiah 3:9, “but that doesn’t change God’s word.”

though someone should tell this guy to read his own bible more, particularly the part where jesus specifically says the sin of sodom was : "Ezekeiel 16:49-50:"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen."

Only Jude claimed it had anything to do with sexuality and even then homosexuality wasn't associated with it until centuries later

Looks good to me........ but, yes, they need to do something with the roof.

Interesting. The rainbow flag has more than one use. I was in Italy during one of the middle eastern wars and the flag was festooned everywhere with PACE (Peace).

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

You mean, someone should read the bible to this guy more. You don't actually think he's literate, do you?

Actually, the history of Fred Phelps may very well surprise you.
Fred Phelps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phelps took cases on behalf of African-American clients alleging racial discrimination by school systems, and a predominantly black American Legion post which had been raided by police, alleging racially based police abuse.[14] Phelps' law firm obtained settlements for some clients.[15] Phelps also sued President Ronald Reagan over Reagan's appointment of a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, alleging this violated separation of church and state. The case was dismissed by the U.S. district court.[15][16] Phelps' law firm, staffed by himself and family members also represented non-white Kansans in discrimination actions against Kansas City Power and Light, Southwestern Bell, and the Topeka City Attorney, and represented two female professors alleging discrimination in Kansas universities.[13]
In the 1980s, Phelps received awards from the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Blacks in Government and the Bonner Springs branch of the NAACP, for his work on behalf of black clients.[15]

To so easily dismiss someone as illiterate certainly says alot of yourself.

Phhht...take a throwaway comment as literal if you like. I obviously don't know whether the bloke being interviewed is functionally literate or not. I was aware Fred Phelps had done some civil rights work, but not the scope. But to be honest, it doesn't change my opinion of him IN THE LEAST. So there is a group spared his particular brand of hatred...by his own words he believes they are all going to hell anyway, given that he has said only the WBC represents the word of God, and only those following it's teachings will go to Heaven.

I was trying to work out how to frame my actual thoughts about the WBC. The throwaway line seemed healthier than ranting. So, instead of ranting now, or making another admittedly cheap comment, I'll just let the man speak for himself...

I love it.

This is real-life trolling at its greatest! Brilliant maneuver on their part.
I am not even a fond support of "Equal Marriage" and I find this hilarious. Perhaps the people who bought the house can give Rush Limbaugh some advice on how to troll.
