The Westboro Baptist Church and Margie Phelps

<p>Echo FS. </p>

<p>Yer gotta know where d’edges are before you know where the middle is.</p>

<p>Ok, DRJ4, I see your point, and if that’s what it takes, I’m fine with it. So consider my mind changed (for what it’s worth ! ). </p>

<p>WAIT ! Is this a CC first ? One of us truly and really changed our minds because of the arguments put forth by someone else! Now if I could only figuire out how to add emoticons, I’d put in either a smiley face, or one of those curmudgeon-like little faces with the open mouths. Not sure which.</p>

<p>Hayden,</p>

<p>I change my mind because of things I read here - sometimes in small ways and sometimes in larger ways, although I admit I haven’t changed on anything major … yet. The main reason I hang around at CC is to hear interesting and challenging views from people like you and others.</p>

<p>“Perhaps more importantly, fundamentalist churches that tend toward this form of irrational vitriol and bile will be shamed into taking a look at themselves not wanting to belong to a club that would have something like Westboro Baptist as a member.”</p>

<p>For the life of me, I don’t know of any other fundamentalist church that believes these kinds of things or would consider these actions.</p>
