Hate is coming to our small town tomorrow. It is being drawn here by altruism, at least in my view. Our town lost a very young soldier to an "IED" in Iraq last week. While I didn't know the young man, many folks that I know did know him and know his family. Our entire town will shut down temporarily tomorrow to acknowledge and honor the sacrifice this man and his family have made. Businesses will shut down during the honor guard and military funeral. Our main street will be lined with folks paying homage. It already is lined with American flags at half mast.
Our streets will also receive a pack of heathen dogs who parade as "Christians". These are the followers of a cult leader in Kansas, who come to military funerals to protest, disrupt and bring as much additional misery to the occasion as they can. This is the flip side of the hate directed at Christians. This is hate disguised as Christian. I can think of no lower calling than to harass the bereaved. There is certainly nothing in the Bible remotely resembling this brand of evil.
Fortunately there is also a group who will peacefully confront these cultists. A very large (I hope) group of motorcyclists has organized itself to resist the effects of such hate groups on military funerals. They will be here tomorrow as well, rev'ing their machines as required to drown the protests of the cultists. I will be there too. I'll let you know what happens.
