Westboro Baptist Church Protests Chris Kyle’s Memorial Service: ‘Soldiers Die; God Laughs’

Members of Westboro Baptist Church reportedly protested slain Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle’s memorial service in Arlington, Texas on Monday. The hate group first announced its intentions via a press release earlier this week.

“WBC to picket memorial for mass murderer AKA Navy SEALs sniper Chris Kyle at Cowboys Stadium,” a Westboro press release stated. “He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.”

Soldiers die; God laughs,” the release added.

One attendee also told TheBlaze that he saw Westboro protesters prior to the memorial service. The following photos were posted by various Westboro-related Twitter accounts on Monday, apparently from outside Cowboys Stadium where Kyle’s service was held:

    Any of you know, does Obama have any connection with this church?? Forgive me if I am wrong, but from my understanding Obama does not like navy seals, in general. And from what I understand, if this is truth, the navy seals part of the goverment, can go above obamas head, sorta say, in things, and they can, if I am wrong,,,,, please correct me,, they can even go to the extent of killing him,,,,, I aint saying to kill him no!!!! Just stating a fact here, if it is true,,,,I would like to know,,, they have that power to,, is it true?????

    Wouldn’t you think that a “Baptist” “church” would at least quote Scripture correctly?

    Nowhere does the Bible say that “He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.”

      But it does say ……………Matthew 26:52 Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.

      Maybe they should read Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works,……..

    What would they do if we didn’t have our great men and women in uniform fighting for our freedoms? Perhaps they would praise Allah and embrace Sharia Law? It is obvious they wouldn’t fight for Christianity. These people haven’t a clue.

    I would like to have been at this service to pay homage to an American hero that made things better for the people who had to live in worn torn Islamic countries, as well as our soldiers.

    While I am normally for freedom of speech, these jerks are the epitome of rudeness. There has got to be a way to put a restraining order on them before the funerals happen.

    He speaks of cowardice yet hides behind the internet and aliases. From what I’ve turned up about this fool, he is most likely mentally disturbed.

    Matthew 12:34 ‘You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.’

    John 8:44 ‘You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’

    Galatians 6:7 ‘Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.’
