A Bully Church?!?!?

                The Westboro Baptist Church is a church, which in my opinion the next Jim Jones incident. They are people that run on the hurt that they cause people. They go around and protest at gay and military funerals. They say that the soldiers are turkey’s not heroes. “They are lazy, incompetent idiots looking for jobs because they’re not qualified for honest work.”  That is a bunch of garbage. They go through a whole lot of training to become a soldier, besides they are the ones that go out to a foreign country to protect us as Americans, from countries that want to attack or control us.  They try to pass off their extreme ideas on that their trying to save the world. “It’s the world’s last hope.”  Most people strongly dislike the ways of the Westboro Church. On the website it states that their members lose 0 nanoseconds of sleep over the opinions and feelings of others. I have no idea on how they are able in good conscience to do that. I would never do that. I have too many moral standards to do those things that those “people” do. What those people do is very immoral.

                They blame the Christians for God’s hatred towards everyone. They blame other religions like Christianity and Islam for example for the scorn of God.  They say that us Christians told lies that God loves all of us and the Jesus died for all of us. They preach that God loves no one. He hates “fags”   and military people.  If God loves no one then he doesn't love them. Also God said that we’re all made in his image. Then those people are in his image. Wait! They don’t believe in everything that the Bible says. Really. God gave us the Bible so we can know how to live and what to follow by.

                By protesting at funerals and putting people down they are basically taking away their human dignity. They believe that they are doing charity to the people that they protest against.

                For one I believe it’s wrong to protest against the soldier’s funeral or the fact that they put people down.  They are part of the reason why so many young people are choosing to end their own life. Because a church is bullying them, aren’t they supposed to be helpful and support full?

Cyber Bullying

                Bullying is a major problem in today’s society. Teens feel much more open and free to do it, since the creation of the internet. Cyber bullying allows the bully to bully, in some cases without ever seeing the person. With the invention of social media like, Face Book and MySpace, it’s giving the bullying a whole new platform to work with. Instead of being face to face with only so many people to hear, it’s now out on the whole internet where everyone, can see it. There was a bullying case a while back that had a mother bully a student and that student thought it was a girl from school. With the internet, no one has to be exactly who they are. They can be whatever age, gender, or race that they want to be. No one at the time would know who exactly that person is. Cyber bullying can contain many forms. In one article it lists the forms that it can take, how to survive it, and one survivor’s story. (Link is below)

                In generations past when kids were bullied, they were just tormented at school, when they got home it was like their safe haven. Now since the creation of the internet, social media, cell phones, etc. the bullying doesn’t stop just because their home. It’s now a 24-7 problem that is costing lives by the minute. Face Book was meant to bring people together, not tear them apart. Right now there is so much cyber bullying going on that Face Book is just fueling the fire to this seemingly never ending problem. Cyber bullying can contain many forms. In one article it lists the forms that it can take, how to survive it, and one survivor’s story. (Link is below) Does anyone even know why kids bully each other, how about why they cyber bully.  This website (link is below) addresses what some of the reasons are, how you should deal with it, and how to gain awareness on this issue.
