House Bill Reins Military Funeral Protests
The House voted Tuesday to restrict demonstrations at military funerals, a measure aimed at a Kansas church group that has carried its anti-gay message to the last rites for those killed in Iraq.
"We will not allow the repugnant acts of a few to define who we are as Americans," said Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Steve Buyer, R-Ind., before the 408-3 vote on the "Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act." Buyer spoke at a news conference joined by motorcyclists who attend military funerals to shield families from the anti-gay protesters.
Protesters, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps of Topeka, Kan., claim that U.S. military deaths in Iraq are a sign of divine punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuals.
28319. Ulgine Barrows - 5/13/2006 5:07:54 AM Sick, yes.
Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain 28320. Adam Selene - 5/13/2006 1:55:00 PM Who is that lovely lady with the cleavage? As Mal said on Firefly... "I guess I'm going to that special place...[in hell.]" 28321. jexster - 5/14/2006 6:10:31 AM The damnable heresy popularized in the Left Behind series of books is exposed for the fundamentalist abomination that it is in the History Channel's 2Part Series - The Anti-christ Zero Hour
Authentic faith cannot exist without real doubt and fundamentalists cannot tolerate that. So they retreat into a supernatural fantasy world of intolerance and ulitimate unbelief
It is plain for instance that the lynchpin of fundamentalist folderol - the Rapture - has no connection to their Apocalyptic "salvation" and everything to do with...well here, they can even comprehend the plain words of St Paul in Thessalonians so they read shit into it that plainly is not there
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-14 28322. Ulgine Barrows - 5/14/2006 9:03:41 AM Therefore encourage one another with these words.<,/i>
That's the part that doesn't get repeated correctly. 28323. Ulgine Barrows - 5/14/2006 9:04:13 AM 28324. Ulgine Barrows - 5/14/2006 9:04:45 AM grin
28325. jexster - 5/14/2006 3:25:29 PM Indeed UG...these words are the takeoff point for "beating up others with these words" and that's the damnable crux of the fundie heresy

28326. wonkers2 - 5/19/2006 2:12:38 PM Father Fay, not a pedophile, but lives high on the hog by stealing from the collection plate. Father Fay filches from collection plate for Florida condo. 28327. Adam Selene - 5/19/2006 2:29:08 PM Well, it's Da Vinci Code Day. Any predictions on weekend US gross? I'm thinking $60M based on wives and girlfriends dragging the guys along, although the youth market isn't there. (The Price is Right rules...)
Reviews are all over the place. Panned at Cannes, but several glowing reviews in the US (along with more pans.) Shouldn't matter though, this movie is critic-proof, just like Harry Potter. 28328. alistairconnor - 5/19/2006 2:57:07 PM Depends if it's any good.
You could have a record-breaking first week, then drop off to nearly nothing, if people don't like it.
I will wait till I'm dragged kicking and screaming by my daughters. I'm sure they would like it, and appreciate it at its true value. They love history, and psychological drama. They are 9 and 12. 28329. wonkers2 - 5/19/2006 3:27:40 PM Hijacking Jesus. Taking Back the Faith. 28330. judithathome - 5/19/2006 4:02:30 PM I'll wait for it to hit HBO, like I do with most movies these days. 28331. Adam Selene - 5/19/2006 5:30:03 PM Well, Mision Impossible III did around %50m on opening weekend, and Spiderman II broke $100m on opening weekend. I think Harry Potter did around $90M. I predict DVC will beat MI III a bit, but not in the same league as the real block busters.
I see a handful of movies at the theatre - typically the specticuls that make sense on a huge screen, like the comic-book movies, sci-fi, etc. "story" movies I usually wait for Netflix and watch on my 36" with 5.1 surround sound.
But - my wife wants to see DVC at the theatre... so I'll likely be there Sunday afternoon.
