What is wrong with these people.
To Heath’s family and friends I am so sorry that these people are saying this about such a wonderful man.
No one is this world has a right to be judge or jury, these people have not one clue about Heath. For us that only knew him from afar we are heart broken for him and for you. And for the people who have said the most terrible things about him, I feel pity for them, they are beneath hell; what ever hell maybe.
Grieve your son/brother/friend and be sure that in heaven Heath is well and is loving you as much as he ever did.

Heath was a beautiful kind hearted and loving man. Im deeply saddened at his death and even more so that these so-called christians are planning to picket it. Who do they think they are. It beggers belief. This has nothing to do with the bible god or religion…is just a way of creating hatred. They discust me.
My thoughts go out to Heath’s family and those who loved him. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Check the WBC’s website, their arguments are theologically sound; it’s the Bible that is the perversion here.

It breeds intolerance and ignorance of this kind. What we need is a good dose of common sense and rational thinking to reject these harmful dogmatic Bible quotes. Clearly, we need the Bible as a morality guide, like we need a nail in the head.

Stop defending Christianity and see it for what it really is. For humanities sake.

While it is true that God hates homosexuality (no need to quote all the verses, it’s been done), only God and each individual person knows what that person’s relationship is with our Lord. It is not our place to judge anyone - only God’s.

God has as much hatred for lies and the twisting of His word as he does for homosexuality.
And God tells us not to have hatred in our hearts, not even for our enemies. Even if this “church” feels he was an enemy (and there is really only one true enemy) we are to pray for him and his soul not condem it.
It is one of our enemies greatest tricks, to use God’s word to twist things and to use “church’s” to anger and drive others away from God.

This is NOT the view of those who truely know Christ.

I was so saddened to learn of Heath Ledger’s passing. My heart aches for those who loved him and for his daughter who will not have his living presence in her life. I pray for peace and comfort for his family and for those who loved him. I also pray that our media who are so intrusive in today’s time are convicted to give them all peace.

Everyone knows not to take the Old Testament too seriously. How dare WBC be so callous to involve themselves in Heath Ledger’s family’s grief? 1 John 4:7,8 Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. What is this church’s obsession with the hatred of homosexuality? My grandmother always said people who behave like that pinch the cat in the dark (hey she was Dutch, I’m sure most people understand what that means). I feel awful for the Ledger family. I pray they are strong enough to deal with everything. Heath Ledger was a brilliant actor, it’s a terrible tragedy he died so young.

How rediculious that a “church” can not see the difference between what is real and fiction. Heath was only acting in Broke Back Mountain, it has no reflection of his real life, nor does it damn him to an eternity in hell.
I can not belive that the world and church are so judgmental. I was thought to belive that God has maid no judgment and will have compasion to all living things.
To this church: find a new cause, or you will be damned to hell for eternity for your misrepresentation of God’s work “the Bible”, and for your judgments of an inncoent human being.

To Heath’s family: Live on through his memory! Forever God is on your side!

Well, after reading about the Phelps, their “Church” (I use the term loosely, you understand?) and their unrelenting hate, I have come to the unequivocal conclusion, that these people have misinterpreted the Bible, obviously have a deeply repressed fear of their own homosexual tendencies and have absolutely no understanding whatsoever regarding The Creator’s Divine works, and Universal Compassion for all living things. It appears they are not as close to God as they would like to think.

To Heath’s family and friends, take heart from all of us who loved his work and thought he was a beautiful human Being. May the Angels guide him swiftly home. x

My fellow Ambrosians.

It is with a heavy heart, and a rumbling spleen, that I have to report that my other daddy, the good lord Frog himself, is very put out by the position held by the Church of Marlboro. Daddy sent me back down to Earth on a long-term working visa to edjuc… edchuk… ejudicate some of his children in how to behave towards their jello man.

People… Lighten up. Daddy made y’all in his own image, and even he loves each and every one the same be they straight, grey or bisectional, but some of his flock have gone a bit off the rails. Now I ain’t one fur gossip, but I overheard daddy talking to this tall guy with horns and all, and apparently he’s reservin’ places for y’all in some place called El Fire, I’m guessin’ it’s somewhere in Mexico… Best pack t-shirts and shorts though, cuz I’ve bin told that “It’s hotter in El” but I can’t find the place on the Weather Channel so I’ll have to take their word fur it.

Apparently they have some strict immigration laws there too, once you’re in, that’s it, you have to stay for a Ternity, now I’m not sure how long that is but I think it’s some kind of introductory period to let you acclimatise to the heat. Their economy is based around paint and sulphuring, which might explain why all the buildin’s are yellur.

Anyways, your places are booked and waitin’, but I’d just like to suggest that you take a lot of strong sunblock, as I’ve been told that it’s very likely that you’ll burn in El, so just play it safe and try to keep out of the sun during the middle of the day.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some thinkin’ to do, I’ve got some reporter here asking me what it’s like to be in office, damn fool can’t get it through his thick skull that we’re still in my kitchen. Oh well, that’s a state edgic… heduca… learnin’ for ya.

You now it’s really quite scary reading all these comments. If I was a member of the Phelps clan or groupie or whatever you call yourselves I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. I struggle to sleep at night if I’ve have an argument with my husband or I’ve shout at my kids. With all the hate you people have inside for all kinds of people (you should look at there website, it’s quite shocking) you people will never rest in peace. Because in life or death your so called work will never be done. What an awful thought! I wonder what kind of up bringing you had as a child Mr Phelps? What kind of up bringing did your children have? The sad thing is when Mr Phelps finally leave us there will be another Phelps more then willing to step into his shoes. God help us all then. Since Heath has died I have watch his films again and it just dosen’t feel the same. He will be remember forever. It’s just so very sad it had to end like this…………..

I am absolutely speechless - I knew there were stupid, sick and depraved people out there but this takes the cake! It was a movie role for gods sake and one of the most beautifully crafted and emotionally charged movies I have ever seen - if only these idiots could step back from their self righteous, bigoted and un educated stupid little lives and look at the bigger picture - it’s not about sexual preference - it’s about pure love - isn’t that what God is about?! Heath was a brilliant young man and the world is a much lesser place without him and it just sickens me that with all the atrocities that are perpetrated in the world today that there are still people out there who masquerade as Christians only to openly hurt and condemn the innocent - I hope Heath’s family never learn of what these sicko’s are writing about their Heath and that they are allowed the decency and grace of burying him in peace.

Wow. Mary Phelps and family and friends. By your anger and hate displayed by your words and actions, your KKK mindset and lifestyle has exposed your false god due to being so focused on only one of many actors, also hating your fellow man. Your ignorance will get you killed because you mind so little your surroundings. I, we, will not kill you. That would be murder for a just cause, but not just in God’s eyes. Klansmen are a dying breed because of their pickled minds. The fire will be put out. If only this report could instill conviction and fear like live action, not action would need be taken. You focused on one man, and on one of many churches, you shall be targeted. The Golden Rule. Don’t bother hiding your arms; you will be disarmed soon.

Your not so best friend in the world,
People.

I dont even know what to write im that angry, you tight, “hate the world” F**Ks. GOD didnt teach people to abuse the deceased by gate crashing the funerals and destroying what is the last goodbyes for Heath Ledgers family to him. GOD Taught to forgive, and i can gaurantee that when you time comes the place you’re going to, you will definately be finding it hot under the collar. so i hope you PUNK ASS HYPOCRITES FROM WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH GET A GOOD READ AT THIS.

I think your sick tbh!

Leave him and his family be!
If you were actually sensible people which u obviously arent then youd just let people get on with their lives.

You obviously need to learn some respect!!

He was an actor…you talking about him as if he was a murder.
His job is to act which is what he was doing..
If you interrupt his funeral with violence surely you’re the ones going to hell not him!

What is the reasoning behind letting these morons do this kind of thing,Police have a duty to protect Ledgers family & friends from any type of assult weather it be physical or verbal esp when they are in grieving for a loved one and a damn fine actor.Please put a restraining order on these F**K’s.
Plus in the words of JAMES
SOMEONE SHOULD show up with a baseball bat and beat these disrespectful C**t’s to a pulp.
If someone does then it should be the police that turn the other cheek.

I think this church forgets an important scripture………

Judge not lest YE be judged.

How dare you cause further pain to the family and friends of this talented actor. Shame on you.
