Pot meet kettle... Your statement is pretty much on the same level of demagogic stupidity as Westboro statements.
Only profound ignorance or maliciousness could cause someone to make the idiotic comparison of Westboro and mainstream religion. A small amount of actual knowledge on the subject will inform anyone that Westboro is out of the mainstream... one would have to look hard to find a mainstream religious group that has not condemned Westboros antics.
While the tech industry is still reeling from the death of Steve Jobs, those loons from Westboro are planning to picket his funeral. The announcement was made via Twitter for the iPhone.
Not entirely sure how this idea differs from the few initially followers of early Christianity? Going around and telling people their way of life is wrong and only they have they know the truth. Seems to me, trying teaching people that Intelligent Design is as likely as Evolution and that Homosexuality is evil is FAR more dangerous than some nutcases protesting an already dead person...

Gandhi said:I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
More knee jerk stereotyping and bigoted demagoguery and a bad case of projection.

Why are you guys making this about you and your beliefs?
I'm a Christian, and I totally don't agree with what this church is doing. Terrible. This church is NOT practicing God's will, they are hypocrites.
Steve Jobs and George Lucas were friends, right? With the spare money they have, the estate should conjure up some Industrial Light and Magic - zombie Steve Jobs, opening the door to his crypt, looks at WBC - "WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER?!"
Either way, Steve Jobs did more in his lifetime (good *or* bad) than most of us ever will. I give respect for that.
Heh, I wonder how they expected Mr Jobs to give God glory for Apple's success. Put a picture of Jesus on every iPhone case?Westboro will picket his funeral. He had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin,
They are not mainstream religion, they are the extreme fringe that 99% of other churches would disagree with. They aren't even really a church - it's all just one family, the Phelps. You want to know what type of people they are? Well, somebody pointed out they tweeted this on THEIR iPhone, and their response was that Apple only thinks it invented the iPhone and that it was actually God using Apple to create the iPhone so that makes it ok for them to protest and announce the protest using the very product of the guy they're protesting.
Basically - with this family they're going to be out there doing crazy things even if nobody is paying attention. No logic or discussion is going to ever dissuade them from something. They're just the type that wants to go out there and annoy everybody, and even if the media pays them no attention at all they'll still go out there and annoy people on a local scale.

We're in a country of double standards. If Muslim extremists somehow represent all Muslims, shouldn't Christian semi-extremists represent all Christians?
Either way, Steve Jobs did more in his lifetime (good *or* bad) than most of us ever will. I give respect for that.
Agreed,
These folks can't call themselves Christians with their idiotic acts. This "church" has nothing to really do with God or Christ.....they are just really out for themselves. And to be more specific, 99.99999% of churches disagree with their actions. The .000001% is of course them.

Yes, he did not give GOD the glory and taught sin. However, doing what they are going to do is NOT going to bring ANYONE to Christ at all. I honestly do not see where that particular church is going to accomplish other than pushing people away from Christ.
Even then, nobody should rejoice in the death of another.
I can tell you right now how to stop these people and protect THEIR rights at the same time. Allow them to protest funerals but, for safety reasons, they must protest no closer than one mile from the funeral route, funeral home and or cemetery.
Nothing has "happened" to them because the rest of us are civilized.
Trust me. It's just a matter of time before their bluff gets called.
Have you ever been a serious state of grief and/or rage?
Trust me. It's just a matter of time before their bluff gets called.
I don't think it's a bluff. I think it's what they want - I've read elsewhere that this is a business for them. Go out and protest in a highly inflammatory fashion, get assaulted, sue for $, repeat.
