This weekend, religious protesters arrived on Main Street in Old Town Spring to express their dissatisfaction with the Greater Church of Lucifer, which opened on Halloween.
Church leaders are adamant that they do not, as a whole, worship Satan... They picked the name "Lucifer" using the Latin translation, which is "light bringer," as a symbolic representation of the congregation's search for knowledge and self-empowerment.
...But that didn't stop protesters from arriving at the church's doorstep on Main, armed with wooden crosses, holy water, rosary beads and bullhorns. Altogether there were about 40 protesters on Friday evening, lining both sides of Main. There was a heavy police presence, and the protests were largely peaceful, except for a few moments before dark when members from two groups of protesters — one Catholic organization from Pennsylvania, and the other consisting of some sort of doomsday-preachers from Las Vegas — began arguing with each other over whose sect of Christianity was correctly following Jesus.

Let me get this straight: We're catching hell about being religious nuts because of assholes that came from Vegas and Pennsylvania?
Can I just add another layer of "fuck you" to this? Or are we full up? And that last sentence... wow...
I'm too sober for this.

I bet you're not standing outside that Org, wielding burning torches & pitchforks; also railway lines, barrels of tar and bags of feathers, eh Protestors...?!
Hypocrisy, thy name is Fundie.

Not seeing SpukiKitty and Ebon saying so much as word one against each other, so you lose, fundies.
Now you know why there are 30,000+ denominations of Christianity. So much for 'Unity', eh?!

Great, now my boss is wondering why I am grinning like an idiot!

That sounds like the best part of the protest.
Freedom of religion, as long as it's MY religion!

This is just too rich.
@KingOfRhye
I guess the fundies don't believe in "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", huh?
If they're not following the exact same doctrine, then of course not. We've seen plenty of quotes on here from Christians accusing other Christians of being Satanists just because they go to a different church.
@#1882214,
You've never met a Luciferian before, have you? I hardly believe them to be fuckwits-- after all, I also had a faulty ideal of what Luciferians were prior to meeting Ebon; but all in all, I see them as followers of a more respectable religion than Christianity, are you saying that because a Christian protest presence was to be expected, then they weren't to be allowed their freedom of religion?
Or to quote a Bad Wolf, "freedom of religion for me, but not for thee"?
...Speaking of, where is Ebon?

If anybody had read Feet of Clay (and if you haven't do so right now) you know why I was waiting for years for something like that to happen. This will keep me happy for a while
On the subject of intra-faith disputes, here's an interesting fact: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the supposed location of the tomb of Christ, is in danger of falling apart because the various churches that control parts of it refuse to talk to each other long enough to plan repairs.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
