Ridiculous Religious Group of the Week:

Church plans to protest Ledger’s memorial
Actor’s role in ‘Brokeback’ calls ‘God a liar,’ radical group claims


The radical Baptist church known for picketing the funerals of American soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq has announced that they intend to protest Heath Ledger’s stateside memorial service because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”

You cannot live in defiance of God. He (Ledger) got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it's OK to be gay,” said Shirley Phelps in a statement sent out by the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church.

Seriously, this might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
