WBC: GOD HATES #OKWX

In a startling example of Poe’s Law, the folks at Westboro Baptist Church have come out strongly against the weather. Or rather, the godless scientists who study and predict it.

Westboro Baptist Church to picket the National Weather Service in Norman, OK on 10/8/15. @NOAA @NWS Press release: pic.twitter.com/FfAp8gkazt — WBC Fliers (@WBCFliers) September 28, 2015

Westboro Baptist Church will picket the National Weather Service to remind them that ONLY by God’s mercy and power do you gather intelligence on His weather. The day comes when all weather rules, as you know them, will be gone…

I had to double check just to be sure this was not a parody account, because it sounds just like the sort of thing that The Onion might well imagine WBC saying. Sure enough, WBC is simultaneously scheduled to picket “THE BORING WASTEFUL FACE OF MODERN, DOOMED AMERICAN ‘SCIENCE'” and “THE WORTHLESS & WASTEFUL FACE OF MODERN, DOOMED AMERICAN ‘JOURNALISM'” at the same place and time. No doubt the University of Oklahoma is flattered to discover that they have become the face of modernity in so many and various respects.
