No wonder Christians get a bad name

I know Andrea already posted about these people picketing at Heath Ledger's funeral, but I went to their website:

It's kind of amazing that people can read the same book that I read every day, the Bible (I doubt they're actually reading the Bible, but they profess to read the Bible, and anyway, they quote certain scriptures) and believe this. Seriously, Jesus died for all of us, every single one of us, so how can he hate anyone? He came to save the sinners and the sick, and he did it because he loved them. I thought the point was that we all sin, and your sin is no better or worse than my sin, and it's not your or my place to judge. Why don't they quote that verse? The measure they use to judge others will also be used to judge them. Not like I even have room to talk, because I am absolutely terrible at judging people. But picketing someone's funeral because he was in a movie you didn't agree with? That's ridiculous. What is his daughter going to think? What if that is her first interaction with "Christians" and it turns her away from God for the rest of her life? Seriously, people just make me so mad. Really, if you don't like Heath Ledger (because I'm sure you knew him personally and all), that's great. But he had a family and friends and people he worked with and saw every day. At least think about them.
