Description ...do such a thing?"

On Sunday of March 29, the Westboro Baptist Church is staging a protest in Joplin, Missouri, a small town that was practically flattened this past Sunday. "Thank God for 125 dead!" their flyer says. (You can read it here: [link] )

"God Hates Missouri." That's funny, because Joplin happens to be right next to America's famous (and infamous) Bible belt.

I drew this on a limb, (although it took all day, ashamedly.) I know this probably won't raise awareness, but this is just plain, well, how I feel. So much disaster and pain, and after days of scrutinizing it all, with my heart twisting to and fro, I just can't understand why ANYONE would have the nerve to march in and blame the disaster on the poor little town.

I live in Missouri and was planning to go to Joplin tomorrow to help out, but a message was just sent saying that they want to clear enough stuff so that the conditions are less dangerous for volunteers. I AM very happy to say that anything Joplin has asked for (blood for the hospital, food, clothing and money) SEVERAL have helped with replenishing. Nonetheless, they can still use the help.

Thanks.

The Westboro people make me sick. They make true Christians look bad.

The town of Joplin got destroyed by an F5 twister and you people are going to come along and add more pain to a town that was almost wiped off the face of the earth.

God hates Missouri. Thank God for the 125 people who died. That's sick Westboro. That's really sick. May God have mercy on all of you.

A true Christian would not be saying crap like that. A true Christian would be giving the people of Joplin comfort and would be helping them.

I'm a Christian and I felt so sorry for the people of Joplin. But I know that God is with them and He will help the people of Joplin get back on their feet. Stay strong Joplin. Don't let those stupid Westboro people get to you. They will have to answer to God for what they did.


By the way...great work on this piece.

Thanks for the endearing comment. I agree wholeheartedly. I'm a Christian as well and felt very angry over Westboro's response, especially since I had very good friends living there.
