I have to admit that I sometimes cannot understand why it is that Americans have to put up with the sort of extreme, stench-filled diatribes which bubble up from marginal groups such as those of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church.
A handful of people from this group are now touring New Jersey, spreading their own brand of hatred for gays, Jews, and Catholics. Having busied themselves with stirring up the pot of prejudice in New Brunswick, Rutgers and other locations, they have announced that they will demonstrate at the funeral of the Rev. Edward Hinds, a Catholic priest from Chatham who was recently stabbed to death multiple times.
Their vile views are also leveled at mainline Protestants such as Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopalians and Baptists – and it doesn’t stop there.
The source of this group’s self-proclaimed authority for these homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic rants is, of course, God. They claim to have what no one else has: The inside track on the thinking of the Divine Source – disgusting.
