The Rockets and Thunder matchup in Game 5 could have some added controversy, but it has nothing to do with the two teams.In light of NBA veteran Jason Collins becoming the first active professional athlete who is openly sexual, Westboro Baptist Church’s Twitter account @WBCSays said Tuesday it will picket outside Chesapeake Energy Arena for the Rockets and Thunder Game 5 first-round playoff matchup.
Westboro supporters have sent out threatening messages to Collins, Thunder forward Kevin Durant and others associated with the NBA while also using a ‘#GodH8sTheNBA’ hashtag.
The independent church, led by pastor Fred Phelps and his daughter Margie, is known for protesting military funerals and believes that President Barack Obama is the Antichrist.
From WBC themselves:

WBC has picketed your basketball games nationwide for yeasr, warning you that the NBA is full of s. Now the has-been pervert Jason Collins has "come out" (as if anyone should care what goes on in his bedroom!) admitting that he is a proud . On top of that FLOTUS Mic e Obama sticks her nose into the bedroom business praising this filthy beast. Why can't you just shut-up about your filthy sexual preferences?! From Obama to the myriad of media mutts filling up the sports-airwaves, all are bowing down to his sin. It is put up or shut up time, faux Christians. Battle lines are drawn and ALL of you cursed citizens of this nation are standing on the wrong side. We at Westboro Baptist Church will do our Ezekial 33 duty! God has brought the sword to this land. Every citizen has an eternal duty to speak up and say STOP SINNING, or the blood that God will soon cause to flow in the streets of america will be on your hands! Faux-lying-Christians caused same sex marriage and the idolatrous milieu that has lead to these sports brutes spreading their filth across this filthy nation! God hates the NBA! Obey today!
If Westboro steps a single foot into Oklahoma, we'll be sure to show them a little good ole' fashioned southern hospitality to these "kindred" spirits.
I'm a Christian, and I am ashamed of people like this. They are not true to the word of God, they think they represent God\Christ but they are really representing the other guy. I am not a fan of sexuality, but to take time to protest gays and all this stuff is not the way of a good person\Christian.
nothing a couple of pressure cookers won't fix. You think thundafan can spare a couple of pressure cookers, or is cooking meth for the game more important??
That post by the WBC is hilarious until you realize they're serious. I thought a SpursTalk troll had written it at first.
Frankly, I'm sort of surprised they know how to use computers.
"Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable." (Lev 18:22 NIV)
"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." (Lev 20:13 NIV)
No, their views seem pretty consistent with the word of God.
But they are not serious. Not really. They are lawsuit trolls. All they are trying to do is to bait law enforcement and private individuals into doing something illegal or uncons utional so they can make some money.

Just another example of Christian hatred, tbh.
half of oklahomas population probably shares the same views as the westboro baptists
jeebo state
Quoting Old Testament passages as a way to prove your point only shows your ignorance. If Christians followed OT "Law" they wouldn't be called "Christians" considering there is no "Christ" in the OT.
if they do step foot in Okie, you aren't going to do a damn thing about it, pussy.
Yeah, I wanted to say something on that. But I don't know enough to be certain. If I understand it correctly, most of Leviticus no longer applies to Christians and Jesus dying was supposed to remove some of the sin burden people had. It's the same reason why Christians don't half to keep kosher.
If anything, why aren't people thinking Jews and Muslims are hypocrites. As far as I understand it, both Judaism and Islam take Leviticus much more seriously than Christians, yet when people of both religions say their religion allows them to be tolerant of sexuality, no one questions it.
So, God once thought that sexual behavior was deserving of death, but he doesn't now?
Judaism is based on the Torah, the first 5 books of the OT which includes Leviticus.
Yeah. Having a kid really mellowed him out.
He had an epiphany, similar to the one Southern Baptist Churches had about black people during the Civil Right movement.
That's what I thought. So they should be bound to it more than Christians are, because they don't have a random figure to come down and tell them some things in it no longer applied.
In the OT basically all sin was deserving of death. The same is true in the NT, with one major difference. If you're that interested I'm sure you can easily find answers via google.
So what you're saying is that sacrificing animals isn't needed anymore? Oops, I ed up then.
I already know about your bull excuse.
God impregnated a woman with himself to sacrifice himself to himself for some stupid reason.
The perfect God needed a do-over, essentially. He ed up his rules the first time around, so he used Jesus to change them. Let's ignore for a second that the New Testament repeatedly says not to ignore the Old Testament, and let's focus on the re ed idea that a perfect God would change his mind.
sexual behavior occurred before Jesus was born, and God thought that it was an abomination. sexual behavior occurs now, and Westboro Baptist Church thinks that it is an abomination. What is exactly incorrect about their statement?
They're the only Christian group with the guts to interpret the bible completely and accurately.
