Westboro Baptist Church At It Again

Westboro Baptist Church, a church far from the Baptist tradition I know and farther from any version of Christianity that I recognize, is at again.  Now they are planning to picket the funeral of rocker Ronnie James Dio.  You can read the story here.  What is the point of this?  You do not have to like the music or even agree with the message.  Picketing the funeral of a man and making life harder for his grieving relatives is hardly the Christ way.  Here is an idea: why not pray for the family!  That might do a whole lot more good than this foolish plan.
