I also spent a considerable amount of time on their website and found myself angery, confused, and perhaps almost obsessed with trying to understand their logic. The targeting of military funerals I also found very disturbing (partially because I have a spouse in the armed forces). What I always have to stop and remind myself, though, is how much Jesus loves those people. That is always what it comes down to. Every single person is a unique being and God cares beyond my comprehension for each one, despite the evil or misrepresentation of faith. I completely agree with your statement.

Jesus died for sinners in whom I am cheif and Saul being a murder like Hitler was to the Jews but instead to Christians did convert, but Christians still feared him for a while. I just do not think God hates some of these people. He died for them as well and is working to bring about salvation to us. The son of Sam is now a Christian. Hitler could have received forgiveness if He trusted Christ in the final hour. The thief on the cross may have been a part of a revolution trying to overthrow the Roman Empire. Many of them were trying to revolutionize. The Crusades started with a noble end to rescue those Christians being held by Muslims and it went south. I am not ashamed to be called a Christian and bear the name of Christ. Satan hates Christ and his name and seeks to pervert it in any fashion possible.

I don't know where I've been for ten years, but only found out about them yesterday. I guess if everybody knows about them, and just ignores them as insane zealots, then that helps a little bit. Still, it is crazy to see the wackos that are out there. Bullet,

I hope you are; I'd hate to think ANOTHER group had taken up the cause of these ridiculous and, quite frankly, insane zealots. They are undeserving of notice or attention, much less worry and despair. I’m assuming you’re talking about the WBC.

I am proud of Him and my connection to Him. Proud and honored. What I am ashamed of is people who also claim His name as I do, but bring shame to His name. I think Jesus is ashamed of them too. It is despicable what some people do "for the sake of the Gospel" and "to advance the kingdom." Such behavior is the greatest perversion of the name "Christian" that there is. And are you really saying that what Hitler did is "all part of the package"? I hope I am reading your comment incorrectly. Brian,

Everyday of my life. I pray that you will see that it is a cherished name that is trying to be perverted from many differant angles. Satan hates the name. Have you ever read the book ZVI, about a Jew who became a believer after the Holocaust and how all his Jewish brethren began to treat him with contempt once he became a Christian asking him how he could betray their nation and becoming part of a group of people that persecuted them in the holocaust. Hitler was Roman Catholic and many Nazi's considered themselves Christian in heritage as he did. This is all part of the package Jeremy. Jesus had to face the same false accusations and try to do good and bless in spite of being considered part of a motley crue of former theives, terrorists, crude fisherman and tax collectors in whom He was moulding into His image. He was not ashamed to receive us...I pray you will take back being ashamed of Him. Encouraging you to lay down at the cross and stay there long enough to let God forgive you and forgive others as I heard one brother put it, Brian Jeremy,
