Several months ago I learned via a phone call that a particular religious group was going to be picketing at Cross Point’s Nashville campus. This religious group based out of Kansas is famous for showing up at churches, religious organizations and funerals of service men with what I consider to be vulgar picket signs. A few of the signs I’ve read before have said…
-Thank God for 9/11
-God hates fags
-God hates Jews
-You’re going to hell
I don’t know any other way to describe them other than religious bigots.
They didn’t show up on that particular Sunday. They did come to Nashville, as expected, but stopped at another church. There was a part of me that was really looking forward to confronting them. I’d rehearsed my speech to them in my head over and over. I was a bit embarrassed though by just how harsh my rehearsed speech had become.
