Shame on these misguided idiots. I doubt if the members of this "church" will ever pay a dime. However, this is the price we all pay for free speech.

I am the worst example of anyone who believes in being born again, which I do. With that said thEse people are as far out of line with the teachings of the Bible as the Devil, himself. They are no less than a cult. These people want a heaven where THEY get to pick and choose who enters. Jesus says otherwise.

As a Hitchensian I regard all religions are cults. However if you are referring to the kind of excessively egotistical personality centered type I'd have to agree These idiots are already way beyond "borderline".

What do you consider a cult anyway? Im sure people thought Christians were cooks when it first started. I mean telling people that he rose from the grave and he will save everyone one day from certain damnation?

And some still do. Just because they have become mainstreamed doesn't make them any less cooky.

There was an expose about them on TV not too long ago. They're scarey! They seem to be consummed with irelevance, and totally obnoxious.

Good for the church, they are exercising their rights and freedom. I hope the church wins the appeal.

Freedom of speech and the right to protest does not and should not take a back seat to the protested's dislike of the protest.

Bad mouth them all you like, I dislike their cult as well, at least they have the BALLS to actually get out there and protest for what they believe in.

I don't deny them the right to protest. I'm just critical of them in general. Plus, it IS disrespectful to the family of that Marine.

That does not matter.

Klan rallies are disrespectful to non-white people. Nazi gatherings are disrespectful to jews. It is still their right to be there.

Awarding money to the protested group is opening the doors for all groups being protested to be rewarded with money and stripping the American people of more rights.

Sorry, I didn't read the article. I didn't realize they were sued and were penalized for it. No, I agree with you about that. They DO have the right to do things in poor taste, be disrespectful, gross, ill-mannered, etc, etc.
