The Westboro Baptist Church, an insane cult that is widely described as a 'hate group', will picket Apple's headquarters on August 12th from 1:15 – 1:45 PM. Westboro Baptist Church often protests military and celebrity funerals as well as public events because of people's tolerance to homosexuality.
Here's what they have to say about Apple and Steve Jobs:
Apple and many of its customers revere Steve Jobs as a creative genius and technology god. WRONG: he was a rich, proud fool who now inhabits hell. God sent Steve Jobs a warning in the form of cancer. It was discovered in time for him to repent and ask the Lord to heal him, but as an idolatrous buddhist, he sought out other inventions.Truly, Steve Jobs was formed in his mother’s womb to create these Apple products so that Westboro Baptist Church can use them today to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Nearing death, Jobs began to talk of the afterlife, hoping he could take his ‘wisdom’ with him. His worldly wisdom perished. With his new-found wisdom, Jobs has only one message now for Apple & the world: “REPENT! Or join me in these everlasting flames!”
The group often claims every tragedy that occurs (such as 9/11, natural disasters, etc) is a result of support of homosexuality, Jews, and Catholics. Some protests even include stomping on the American flag.
In addition to protesting Apple's headquarters, the group plans to picket Instagram, Twitter, Google, Facebook and others. You can read more about the group here.
