Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com 744
An anonymous reader writes "Anonymous is now recognised as a serious force to be taken seriously, but its activities aren't confined to mass global protests, as the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, is discovering, according to p2pnet. Says the Examiner, 'Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for their "Love Crusades," obnoxious displays of insensitivity and homophobia at the funerals of fallen American soldiers. The controversial if monotone message of the "Love Crusade" seems to be to blame everything that is wrong in the world on homosexuality. The crusades are part of a hate-based mission started in Kansas by the WBC and Fred Phelps.' In an open letter on AnonNews, 'We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS – the Voice of Free Speech & the Advocate of the People – have long heard you issue your venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism,' says Anonymous, stating 'Should you ignore this warning, you will meet with the vicious retaliatory arm of ANONYMOUS.'"

After reading about the pillar of fire by night and a pillar of smoke by day, I think there may be some truth to this web site's name.
A medical question:
If each cigarette you smoke takes 5 minutes off of your life, but you are an eternal being, how does that work?

Why not ask the easter bunny for peace in the middle east?
How do you think all these anti-government protests in the middle east got started? I definitely see the easter bunny's paws in this one!

And -Damn you to Hell- Fred Phelps, and your inbred collection of Olympic class haters, for pushing me to this hypocrisy.

Over here (UKoGB) the anti smoking lobby is pretty strong but even they don't invoke a deity in support.
Sounds catchy - even if I am a confirmed tabber.

Something like 100,000 kind prayers a second.

Wouldn't praying for them in a spirit of love work better?
Nope, praying is just a way of doing nothing and feeling like you're actually helping.

As an atheist, I recognize that posting in threads on the internet and prayer are very similar. :)
