God Loves Gay Robin: Comic Fans Trounce Westboro Baptist Church

[crabby_lioness]

Some people you simply shouldn't mess with.  Westboro Baptist Church decided to pick a fight with comic geeks by picketing the San Diego Comic-Con with their personal brand of hatred and embarrassing behavior for "worshiping false idols".   BIG MISTAKE.

Comic geeks picketing the WBC right back, outnumbering the WBC by at least 20 - 1.  They wore their cosplays getups and carried signs saying, "God Loves Gay Robin", "Odin is God", "Superman Loves Fags", "God Needs a Starship", as well as protest signs from several different comic book and sci/fi movie plotlines.  A monster held up a sign offering "Free Hugs", a pair of dominatrices offered "Free Spankings For Jesus", and Jesus himself gave the geeks his blessing.

 Moral:  DON'T MESS WITH GEEKS, FOR THEY WILL MESS WITH YOU RIGHT BACK AND THEY ARE BETTER AT IT THAN YOU.

BTDW, got the "I Survived Organized Religion" t-shirt.

Sucks doesn't it? :(

Don't worry. The missing piece will come in its own good time.

I hope so, I think it's a pretty good idea.

At the time, yes. Overall though it was a valuable learning experience in comparing words and deeds.

Organised religion is over rated. It's better to stay out of it, even if you believe the same things.

I still believe in Christ, but I don't go to Church, the message just gets screwed there.
