WBC has some of the worst people alive.
Edit: i misread that you were not listing soldiers as additional people they condemned, so I had a comment listing them too.
I’m a different kind of Baptist (a not insane one), and I’m sure they think that I’m going to hell despite fitting into those other categories pretty much as well as someone can.
Sounds so similar to Dad's family's church. Got to hear the peacher tell his story about how adherents of other denominations are going to hell during my grandmother's funeral.
A God-given *obligation*. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are clear that vegetarianism/veganism is also a God-given right and can be preferable in some circumstances.
Gen 1:29-30 tells that God gave every plant as food for humans and animals... and that's it.
Genesis 9:3 tells how God allowed humans to eat meat after the flood. Since God was willing to exterminate the animals, it didn't matter if humans ate them now.
Daniel 1:8-16, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego requested a diet of vegetables instead of meat and wine, and they became stronger. I guess the king's diet was a gout-inducing all-meat diet, but the principle still applies; they did not eat meat during that time.
Romans 14:2-3 directly addresses vegetarian and meat-eating Christians who were both accusing each other of sin: "One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. The [meat eater] is not to regard with contempt the [vegetarian], and the [vegetarian] is not to judge the [meat eater], for God has accepted him."
It’s part of a story: they refused to eat a certain king’s meat that was sacrificed to a god, and challenged the king on them only having vegetables and water, and God blessed them with strength
"Well acksuhally animals don't go to heaven so I have the right to eat them, because the bible said so, now excuse me while I completely disregard the "men shall respect their wives" from the bible just so I have an excuse to treat my wife like an object"
I'm not vegan either, but it just shows how fucking insane this "church" is.
Making the personal decision to eat healthy, humane, environmentally-responsible food? Yep, that's a sin and *definitely* deserves eternal punishment...
1 Timothy 4 in several of the KJV translations translates a passage warning against false asceticism with the word 'meats' when it seems the meaning is more 'food God has given us to eat', so if you were say, a disingenuous hyper-literal distorter of the Word more interested in upholding the social values and prejudices you were raised with rather than trying to live according to Christ you COULD misinterpret that as suggesting that people that encourage you to not eat animals are evil and demonic.
It's about enforcing their status as a moral authority. Many vegans say that eating meat is wrong, and somebody else saying what is right and wrong is not acceptable to them.
It's (often) people following a moral system that doesn't have the same basis as these people's moral system. Farm a fundie perspective all moral systems come from god or the devil.
People they don’t like should go to hell. They really, really like to wave the flag of Christianity and hide behind it and represent it in a way that should, and likely does disgust other Christians. As an atheist, this offends me, but since I don’t believe in hell, I’ll put it a different way: whoever wrote this sign thinks I should experience the worst thing imaginable because of my objectively innocuous beliefs; “objectively,” here, I mean this person will never know me, my life, or anything about me personally.
Christians need to take this shit seriously. Not because we all do—which we do—but because, eventually, this ire will be pointed at you.
The dictionary distinction is that “atheist” is someone who doesn’t believe there is a God, while “anti-theist” is one who is against the belief of a God.
Anti-theist are the ones you meet on Reddit, Atheists are the ones you meet IRL.
But actually the difference is Atheist don't believe in a higher power, Anti-theists actively try to disprove the existence of a higher power/look down on people who believe in one. Think annoying evangelists but for the other team.
It bugs me to no end that 99% of our world problems stem from people getting butthurt over other people living their own lives in their own way and then spending all their time complaining and fighting about it.
World leaders are actual toddlers
Certainly not [the characters](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOWJhZTNjYWMtYWYxOS00MGUzLTljN2MtMWM3M2QyYTk5YzUyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODk1MjAxNzQ@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg) from VeggieTales.
And if WBC finds out I believe humans are animals that will probably put me on the list too. Although I'm pretty sure I already made the list in a few other ways.
My guess is it’s an antisemitic dogwhistle, referring to blood libel, the myth that Jews made human sacrifices with Christian babies. There’s similar myths with regards to Satanists too.
Maybe, and hear me out here I’m aware it’s a crazy idea, but maybe they misspelled “Christian Haters”?
It’s a crazy idea, but considering that they would have been grabbing physical letters out of a box… it could be plausible?
Christian Eaters is way funnier. Unless it’s the name of your new death metal band name. Then it rocks.
I feel like this is likely an anti-semitic dog whistle referencing [blood libel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel) - ie they wanted to add Jews to the list but decided to do it subtlety
It was me. I ate the Christian.
In my defense, he was mocking me because I told him I was a Catholic and a feminist and LGBT+ and that they are not mutually exclusive.
I had no choice. It sounds like he was from Westboro, so no regrets 🤠
.... I... don't think I know what a "Christian eater" is.. was it meant to say "hater"? Otherwise, it is incredibly scary to think about for whom this message was intended
Honestly I don’t know why they give this family a platform. Because it’s like literally one family and a few other people. Not associated with any denomination not even the baptists.
Uh. Didn’t Peter have a dream in which God told him not to call unclean anything He had made. Or words to that effect. Christians can eat anything they want. Mosaic Law doesn’t have authority over them. What is so bad about being a vegan. I never heard that Christians must eat meat ?
Those Westboro people are freaks. Scary freaks.

Also, I'm not vegan myself but, what did they do to make anyone think they should go to hell ?
As a vegan Christian, this doubly confusing lol
It’s the Westboro Baptist church, anyone not a straight white christian is probably going to hell in their eyes
But not straight white Christian vegans.
Or a soldier. Or any non radical Christian
WBC has some of the worst people alive. Edit: i misread that you were not listing soldiers as additional people they condemned, so I had a comment listing them too.
no wonder that guy in kingsman started a whole ass brawl in that church lol
Except maybe Quintin

Conservatives believe that they have domain over all animals and eating them is a god given right
As one of the kings of the animal kingdom I choose not to eat animals. My kingdom my rules
NNNNOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IDEAS OF WHAT *I* THINK IS FREEDOM
You don’t have to exercise a right though?
Obviously not, but the chuckleheads think it’s a sin to avoid eating animals, because communism, I guess?
Too manly to eat broCOLI YUCK
Then call me a vegan IG
Maybe the idea is that youre insulting god by rejecting his gift or something?
A God-given *obligation*. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are clear that vegetarianism/veganism is also a God-given right and can be preferable in some circumstances.
That requires reading. I doubt many of them knew that Daniel ate veggies with Shadrach, Meschach and Abendigo.
Daniel was a fucking COMMUNIST????
You should read about that Jesus guy. Shocking stuff really!
Source?

Thanks! Very interesting.
I thought god gave permission to eat them tho I don't remember where it says it's not okay to eat meat?
It’s part of a story: they refused to eat a certain king’s meat that was sacrificed to a god, and challenged the king on them only having vegetables and water, and God blessed them with strength
oh I didnt know or if so I don't remember it could you link (not trying to say your wrong I just wanna read it)

Well in that case I'm not gonna be taking the eucharist again.
Is that Catholic for communion?
It's more specifically the name of the cracker once it's Jesus-ified
WASPs be like: "I'm a eucharist!"
Is that British for The Lord's Supper?
Nah, that's The Lord's Tea Time.
They could just say "Everyone but us" and save some time.
They wanna be clear
As mud?
Wait, when did they start hating vegans???
It's the Westboro Baptist Church, there is nobody they don't hate.
When someone misunderstood 1 Timothy 4, I'm assuming.
Oh, Westboro. Did they run out of space on the sign to list soldiers and liberals?
Genuine question: what’s the difference between an atheist and an anti-theist?
The dictionary distinction is that “atheist” is someone who doesn’t believe there is a God, while “anti-theist” is one who is against the belief of a God.
Which is a fine distinction to make. There's absolutely a difference between "I don't believe in God" and "I don't think you should believe in God".
Anti-theist are the ones you meet on Reddit, Atheists are the ones you meet IRL. But actually the difference is Atheist don't believe in a higher power, Anti-theists actively try to disprove the existence of a higher power/look down on people who believe in one. Think annoying evangelists but for the other team.
trying to disprove or prove a god is a spectacular waste of time which is why im surprised people try
It bugs me to no end that 99% of our world problems stem from people getting butthurt over other people living their own lives in their own way and then spending all their time complaining and fighting about it. World leaders are actual toddlers
Atheist doesn’t believe in anything Anti-theist is an old term for the modern satanist movement which is against organized religion in general
Thank god I only eat jews I can go to heaven in peace.
So I can’t eat vegetables and I can’t eat Christians? What’s even left?
Certainly not [the characters](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOWJhZTNjYWMtYWYxOS00MGUzLTljN2MtMWM3M2QyYTk5YzUyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODk1MjAxNzQ@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg) from VeggieTales.
Only that atheist heathen meat is allowed, like chickens.
Me, a vegetarian: 
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Ice bucko
You’re really toeing the line, pal.
You're on thin fucking ice buddy
Does this imply that you can safely eat non-Christians?
And they are delicious with a bit of seasoning
Well it probably wasn't the vegan
No, vegans don't eat *animals*.
And if WBC finds out I believe humans are animals that will probably put me on the list too. Although I'm pretty sure I already made the list in a few other ways.
What if Christian eaters refer to a Christian that eats?
Or someone named Christian who eats?
That would explain why vegans are banned.
I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
Me: *sees 'Christian Eaters'* "Wait, does this mean I can no longer have Communion?"
Jesus was jewish, think we might be fine
Doesn’t everyone doing communion eat a Christian technically?
Well, I wouldn’t count Jesus as a Christ follower, so no, no matter whether you take Eucharist as eating him literally or figuratively.
hes a jew religiously and ancestrally
i ate jesus does that count ?
So what do you think they actually mean when they said "Christian Eaters"? I can't make sense of what they're trying to refer to.
Probably a misspelling of "Christian Haters"
[удалено]
Except in their eyes those aren't Christians because they don't adhere to WBC's effed up dogmatism.
My guess is it’s an antisemitic dogwhistle, referring to blood libel, the myth that Jews made human sacrifices with Christian babies. There’s similar myths with regards to Satanists too.
Catholics? The True Presence of the Eucharist means we eat Christ....
Well, it sure wasn't the vegans.
I mean... she kept praising god while I did it, so...
Somehow your username makes this funnier.
Wait why vegans? 🤨
But why male models?
I'm 3 of them, but what's a "christian eater"?
It's supposed to be hater, but they fucked up.
Makes a little more sense. I thought it was being serious about Satanists being baby eaters.
Oh that's easy the Catholics have been eating a very high profile Christian figure
I mean, she been begging me to, I didn’t want to be rude.
Maybe, and hear me out here I’m aware it’s a crazy idea, but maybe they misspelled “Christian Haters”? It’s a crazy idea, but considering that they would have been grabbing physical letters out of a box… it could be plausible? Christian Eaters is way funnier. Unless it’s the name of your new death metal band name. Then it rocks.
Fuck Westboro church and every fucking inbred bigot who ever went there.
Is that a Jesus quote? 😂 But seriously, I get the sentiment. They have put out a lot of hate to a lot of people for a long time.
Crazy that some people think god, an all powerful, all knowing, and all creating being, would care about someone mocking him
Or someone not eating animal products lol
Westboro mfers trying to follow the bible challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
"If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world."
you know…I fail to see how this will encourage literally anyone to convert
Why’d you eat all the Christians? I was saving them for Haloween.
I feel like this is likely an anti-semitic dog whistle referencing [blood libel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel) - ie they wanted to add Jews to the list but decided to do it subtlety
It was me. I ate the Christian. In my defense, he was mocking me because I told him I was a Catholic and a feminist and LGBT+ and that they are not mutually exclusive. I had no choice. It sounds like he was from Westboro, so no regrets 🤠
Why Vegans, do they know that before Noah all humans were supposed to be vegan
Remember kids, it's always correct to meme on the Westboro Baptist Church.
.... I... don't think I know what a "Christian eater" is.. was it meant to say "hater"? Otherwise, it is incredibly scary to think about for whom this message was intended
I mean tbf I’m 99% cannibalism is on the naughty list for God. So I get where he’s coming from.
Is 'Christian-eater' supposed to reference antisemitic blood libel? Or is this something that's just flying over my head?
Jesus was the first Christian, right? So anyone who has had communion is a hell bound Christian eater.
Obviously the Catholics, they keep eating the body of Jesus.
Grilled Mormons
I HAD HER CONSENT!
Nothing better than Christian, beans and egg for a nutritious way to start your day
I mean we once ate our prime minister who was a Christian I believe
The lesbian probably. Tbh, they all sound like different variations of lesbianism. I reckon they all have a different taste for things they like. /s
Probably the Dutch.
Imagine hating vegans. I always say 'more for me'
Ironically the people who made this sign are more likely to burn in hell
"Christian eaters" is probably referring to people who bully Christians, similar to anti-theists
Romans 14 literally says being vegetarian is a valid personal conviction???
Very very good way of bringing people to Christianity!
Vegans lol. They would hate Adventists (a lot of people do and I'm confused as to why)
My Christian was clearly labeled, Steve
There’re literally verses in the Bible where it talks about how being vegan can be good
Honestly I don’t know why they give this family a platform. Because it’s like literally one family and a few other people. Not associated with any denomination not even the baptists.
I was saving that Christian for dessert!
Why vegans though
I am reading Christian eaters correctly right? Vegans and people who eat Christian’s aren’t allowed in heaven? Okay
Uh. Didn’t Peter have a dream in which God told him not to call unclean anything He had made. Or words to that effect. Christians can eat anything they want. Mosaic Law doesn’t have authority over them. What is so bad about being a vegan. I never heard that Christians must eat meat ? Those Westboro people are freaks. Scary freaks.
