Religion, homosexuals, and Westboral Baptist church to lead the way

I have never been one to harass somebody else for their religious beliefs. I grew up a Christian and later converted to Darwinism. However, I feel as though I am constantly harassed by religious people. They knock on my door and I politely inform them that my household does not believe the word of God, they give me an hour long lecture on how I am going to hell etc. I am tempted to shut the door in their faces, however I realize that that will probably only fuel their fire.
At school, when I am out in the nice weather trying to study for whatever reason there is a man who walks around screaming at the top of his lungs about how my school needs to make every student take a class about the wrath of God. I am not quite sure how getting new classes instated works, but I am pretty sure that is not the way to go about it.
I really don't care, he can do what he wants. Our constitution guarantees free speech. My problem is with his sign that he walks around carrying. The sign reads "God hates drunks", "God hates homosexuals", "God hates adulterers", "God hates non believers", "God hates liars", "God hates sinners"...etc. The list goes down the line for quite a bit. To me, it sounds as though God hates everyone.
Anyway, I was sitting down talking to a couple of my friends who happen to be gay. They aren't flamboyant but I think they really like each other. This man walks right up to our table and just starts SCREAMING at them. He was rather derogatory and I was rather angry at the fact. It’s none of his business how people choose to live their life. I feel as though he should take it up with God instead trying to humiliate two people who never did anything to him besides have an alternate lifestyle.
Now the man gets made fun of so much. I think that part of his problem is that he is walking around talking about how much God hates people, when he should be talking about God's love. You catch my flies with honey than with vinegar. Not to mention this guy is a target, of course nobody takes him seriously. So many people just stand around and make fun of him. It is his own fault though. He is preaching to a bunch of college kids and we are pretty sure we know everything there is to know about life. For whatever reason it seems that in college a lot of students pursue and atheist or an agnostic lifestyle for the four years that they attend, maybe it’s the starving artist syndrome, I don’t know.
For my personal beliefs, I do not care to go into that much detail. I do not believe in God, and that’s as far as I will explain it. I just wish that people could leave other people alone. So what if they are not religious or they are? It is really none of anyone’s business how one chooses to live their life, well within reason, anyway. I just get frustrated when people yell at me for my beliefs. You can’t yell me into being a believer. Missionaries are a different story, they go to other countries and talk to people who don’t know God. However, people have a lot of opportunity to learn about the word of God. It’s everywhere so people just need to relax and take care of themselves, not everyone around them.
Case in point, Brianna Denison, people came from the OTHER side of the country to protest her funeral. It’s a small group of people from Kansas who protest at military funerals because they do not support the war. Its disgusting, that those people go in there are start chanting in the middle of everyone’s pain. I attended Brianna Denison’s memorial and thankfully, the protesters were escorted off the property. They were waving around signs which said "Pray for More Dead Kids," "Don't Worship the Dead" and "God Sent the Killer."
According to them, God hates Reno, well not just Reno, America, Gay people they use a derogatory term though, Roman Catholics, Muslims, Jewish people, as well as they hate ethnicities like Mexicans, Canadians, Irish, British, and Swedish people. According to them, every tragedy in the world was caused by homosexuals. They do not let their members marry outside the church, and since the church was founded by the Phelps family, doesn’t that make them marrying inside of their family? Anyways, they are extremely sure that God hates Reno, Nevada….If he really hates Reno, I wonder what he thinks about Las Vegas? This was all stemmed from the fact that they were here in Reno picketing a dead officer’s funeral and the police failed to “protect” them from the crowd. Apparently God already hated us, but he REALLY hates us because we attacked the servants of God, I am not going to lie, I was rather happy when I heard that. Those people do not deserve to be protected. It’s their’ own fault for going into the hot zone.
I guess I feel sorry for these people. I do not believe that they are true believers except for incest. They are ridiculous. Like I said before, it is no one’s business what their neighbors want to do in the privacy of their own homes. I do not care as long as it does not affect me and it is not something bad. Why can’t people just relax and give people their right to live?
