I Can Only *Facepalm* at This.

GOD HATES NERDS! The Westboro Baptist Church to protest against idolatry at San Diego Comic-Con.

Is James going to be at SDCC this year? 'Cause I'd really love to see him punch someone in the face. Buzz approves. XD *hides my Mooby the Golden Calf plushie lest I get protested against*

Geeze Louise! And here all this time I thought that God was love.

Didn't you know that God only wants you to cause pain, suffering, and degradation to those who don't 100% absolutely share the exact same beliefs as you? BLASPHEMY!

[diebirchen.livejournal.com]

Nope, didn't know that, but I'll take it under advisement. Clearly I've been living in the intellectual and moral Dark Ages by attending a moderate Lutheran church of folks who stay out of others' personal lives, believe in the rights of others to their own beliefs, and that comic books are just, well, comic books. More fool me, huh? Clearly I'm an idiot.

Don't feel bad. According to the WBC, no one is going to Heaven anyway. I guess I'll have to be content hanging out in Purgatory with Batman and all the unbaptized babies.

[diebirchen.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, you have the theology wrong. I'm not a Catholic either, but a passel of relatives are. Traditionally, unbaptized babies were to go to Limbo, but the Catholics may have reneged and said it doesn't exist now. They are still, however, firm on Purgatory. The deal is that sins are purged away in cleansing fire, and all souls there ultimately are saved, even if it takes thousands and thousands of years. So it appears that you and Batman have a shot. And here's my question: if no-one's going to heaven anyway, what's the worry in the first place. Color me dazed and confused. Happily I'm off the radar with those folks!

The unbaptized babies in Purgatory thing was a joke from Family Guy. I was just being silly. I ought to ask my Eastern Orthodox mom if they have a Purgatory or anything like that in their dogma. *ponder ponder*

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I've never seen "The Family Guy," The Simpsons," any reality show, or any of those dance, sing, competitions. Really! What I don't know about popular culture is a lot and by choice. Elmo and "Sesame Steet"? That I know. I watch about 5 hours of TV a week. I read. That's what it's going to say on my tombstone: "She read a lot," or something to that avail. And in most things other than the supremacy of the Pope, the Catholics and the various Orthodox churches stand together theologically.

I love my books and my TV shows and my interwebz and my LOLCats, and so I join you in the unrepentantly nerdy. XD

Dun-dun-dun-dun-da-da-dun-da-da! Dun-dun-dun-dun-da-da-dun-da-da! "The Empire does not approve of your bullshit!" XD

Fer a sec I was gonna be all, "WTF??!!" but then I realized it was Westboro Baptist... and it all made sense.

Juuust back away from the crazy, babies, just back away.

But yeah, some pointy fingers of wrath would be kinda cool, though I'd rather James just had a nice weekend if he were going.

*g*

I hope he goes and fetches Gareth so they can both piss on the protesters. I hear that's a grand tradition in Cardiff to piss on things that gives one displeasure. XD

[paratti.livejournal.com]

I would adore it if he went postal on their asses.

[thedabara-cds.livejournal.com]

What a disgusting yet profitable scam: act like complete wackos in public and go out of their way to piss off everyone around them, and then the second they piss off someone to the point that they so much as touch one finger to them they claim their constitutional rights have been violated and start filing frivolous lawsuits for obscene amounts of cash. It's far better to just ignore them (or point & laugh from a distance) because then they can't make any money off of you.

Indeed, but the mental imagery of Mr. Marsters landing a few well-deserved punches on those vulgar people is pretty satisfying.

[liliaeth]

Honestly, it would be far more satisfying to get an opposing demonstration filled with people dressed like Northstar, Wiccan, Hulkling, Apollo, Midnighter, Batwoman, .... (one hint, all these comic book chars are gay)

And hell, why not add a Captain Jack Harkness, John Hart or a Ianto Jones while you're at it*g*

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

I do luffs me some Northstar. *hearts* The Silhouette and a few other Watchmen characters are gay too. That'd be a pretty fun group to photograph!

What's the average SDCC attendance? At least 20 000 right? Most of them in full costume and some of them armed with weapons that can be deadly in the right hands. I approve of the impending battle and the victory of the Nerds/Geeks and their like.

And WBC shmuck won't know who to sue or have arrested either.

Officer: "And who was it who cut off your nuts and fed them to you Sir?"
WBC shmuck: "He was dressed as a Storm Trooper."
Officer: "You are aware that there were over four thousand Storm Troopers in attendance, right?"

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

That would be... amazing. XD

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

And now I have that scene in one of the Dresden Novels in my head, the one where Molly unleashed a monster at ComicCon...

[http://users.livejournal.com/mad_brilliant_/]

Last year's attendance was about 140,000. I think they're expecting more this year.

James will definitely be there. And so will I. I'll keep a lookout for any knock-down-drag-outs.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Wow.

No words just... wow.
