How do we make them stop?

Question by Ellen: How do we make them stop?
My best friend killed himself Monday. He was gay.
Since then, those of us grieving his loss have been bombarded by church groups trying to “help” us. I’ve been told that he’s in Hell. That he was a pervert. That Satan claimed him. That it is child abuse that I allowed my children to know him. That if I want to save my kids from the same fate, I need to accept that he was a sinner and beg God to forgive me for not doing anything for him.
Meanwhile, he had no funeral because his parents’ religion wouldn’t allow it. He was cremated and when they went to spread his ashes, a local church showed up to “discuss the severity of his sins” with his parents.
Yesterday, his partner answered a ringing doorbell and found a Bible on the front steps. On the inside, someone had written “God: 1 F-gs: 0).”

I believe in God, but I believe God loved my friend. I also don’t believe God would like the way “his” people are acting.

Do they not understand we’re hurting? Why must they rub salt in the wounds?

that is disgusting!!!! Sadly thats what they do!… File harrassment charges if they keep bothering you and leaving stuff at your door.
That is the only way they know how to convert though, they hit people when they are down because thats when people are vulnerable and succeptable… ITs a sad truth :(.

I am so sorry for your loss. You obviously lost a great and loving person. It is so sad that bigots like that torment people to the point where they have to find a very very sad way to escape it!
