Rest in peaceful protest.

On the Adam Corolla show this morning, Adam was talking to a woman who was planning to picket Heath Ledger's funeral because of Heath's portrayal of a gay man. She's a member of a radical Baptist church that's protesting Heath's sharing of the message that it's OK to be gay.

“Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there,” the Westboro Baptist announcement says.

Whaa?! Seriously? I guess it shouldn't surprise me, given that people are willing to blow themselves up in the name of God, that people are also willing to make complete idiots out of themselves in the name of God. It just bothers me that these people are so close-minded. Like, isn't the idea of God supposed to encourage people to live better lives, to be kind and loving? Their God doesn't sound like too nice of a guy.

But why take their anger out on a DEAD man? That's the most shocking part - that people are going to be grieving and they're exploiting it to gain attention for their cause. I hope somebody smacks that chick in the face. I know, violence isn't the answer, but it sounds like in their religion it might be.
