That group of Kansan religious assholes is going to be in San Diego picketing ComicCon.

for my favorite comment, " "My god has a hammer." "
And: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/07/09/westboro-baptist-church-to-picket-san-diego-comic-con/
for the closing paragraph by the author: "You know what San Diego? As a committed Christian deeply offended by these morons…" Lo! Harken unto the one Christian I've seen publicly decrying Phelps.
Normally, in my experience, Christians tell me it's "not their place" to tell other Christians how to believe or behave. It left me with the impression that only non-Christians had any sense of human decency. So this really was a surprise.
I have had Christians tell me that if I picket Phelps's funeral then I am more of a monster than he is because, "[I] should know better." So they do know how to speak against people, just their common beliefs prevent them from decrying Phelps.

Apparently the experience I have had with Christians defending Phelps over their own friends is rare enough to be shocking to other people.
