The zealots from the Westboro Baptist Church made an appearance at Comic-Con International in San Diego this week....

Devotees of Westboro are used to resistance - being most famous for picketing soldiers' funerals with their incendiary messages - but they probably don't face a mob of Storm Troopers, robots and Federation officers all that often.

This is something of a deviation from their usual message but The Atlantic notes their motivation here, excerpted from a Westboro release:

If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here....The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.

2. He/She/It doesn't.

Given the awesome amount of them, I would suggest the opposite.

I was I in SD right now, countering Phelps with my fellow fanboys/girls.

3. Stupid

I really hope theres an after life just so people like this will get what we would go to jail for dishing out.

4. Which bible passage speaks against comic books

and nerds?

I saw a picture of the protest and one of their signs was changed to God Hates Nerds with a bible passage underneath but I don't remember the passage number.

6. Well, then repeat it loud and proud: "NERDS RULE"

At least, they rule my office. My boss even looks like an egghead nerd.

He makes LOTS more money than I do.
