So the Westboro Baptist Church Fun Run Team, aka Fred Phelps and his Merry Band of Anti-American Homophobes, are going to take a break from paying their disrespects to fallen soldiers and will protest the funerals of the victims of the Minnesota bridge collapse.

Here's why they say they're coming:

Reached at the church, Shirley Phelps Roper, who is both the daughter of the pastor and one of the attorneys for the church, said that America, and Minnesota especially, have alienated God by its tolerance for homosexuality, and that the bridge collapse was an act of God's vengeance.

Here's my question: isn't it possible that our nation's tolerance for false teachers like the Phelps clan is what's behind these tragedies, and that they themselves are the cause of our nation's tribulations? Perhaps there was an unspoken "...or else" tagged onto the end of that whole "Love Thy Neighbor" thing.

Something to consider.
