When Hate Addicts Crave Attention

You get the Westboro Baptist Church. Yes, they really wanted Brooklyn's attention, to once again throw that clown show in which they become caricatures of a hate that no doubt masks self-loathing and the rage of strangled soul.

We had to suffer the suffering of these clowns who create hell around them, crying for help, calling themselves Christian while they recrucify Christ with every word, and in the process, crucify themselves. And their children will have no life, they will be sacrificed to hate as soon as they learn what's required of them, just as they themselves sacrifice their own flesh and blood to hate every day of their lives. Instead of living the life God gave them, in the depth and complexity only love can allow, these people will be devoured by hate. I know, they know not what they do. They are too high on hate to ever have considered what "judge not" might mean, or to notice what state they're in.

No worries for Brooklyn, though, it remains undevoured by their hate. Alive as only love allows. (I hope.) I hope for relief for those love impoverished circles where so many continue to languish, and to all those who are starving for their own souls.
