    Church ordered to pay $10.9 million for funeral protest

    CNN) -- A federal jury in Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday awarded $10.9 million to a father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by members of a fundamentalist church carrying signs blaming soldiers' deaths on America's tolerance of homosexuals.

    The family of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder -- who was killed in a vehicle accident in Iraq's Anbar province in 2006 -- sued the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, and its leaders for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

    Church members showed up at Snyder's funeral chanting derogatory slogans and holding picket signs with messages including "God Hates Fags."

    They've picketed the funerals of dozens of troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, claiming that God is punishing the United States because of its tolerance for homosexuality.

    So, soldiers die because God wants to punish America for tolerating homosexuals?

    He should punish us for tolerating these billigerant religous fanatics.

    it's things like this that make all christians look bad...

    i'm NOT preaching here... BUT God isn't capable of hate.. and He hates no one... (those are my beliefs, supported by the bible)

    so when someone makes a sign saying "God hates" anything.. they are flat wrong and it tarnishes Gods/Christianity's image...

    i'm glad something was done to these morons...

    Seriously. The #1 thing God told us to do was "love one another".

    The "great deceiver" must be proud of that one. Whatta shame.
