Invisible Children a Visible Cause

What is Invisible Children? Invisible children is a revolutionary movement against the horrible acts being committed in Africa, more specifically Uganda. Invisible children was founded by 3 young men who went to Africa just too have some  fun, then they saw what was really going on over their, what not being reported in the media. These 3 young men are Jason Russel, Laren Poole, and Ben Keesey. For some more information and an up close look watch their video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOrzBOauLyo

Joseph Kony

Who is doing this? The LRA are committing These horrible crimes. The LRA is lead by Joseph Kony .What does the LRA do exactly,  they take kids from southern Uganda and take them to the north gives them weapons and turn them in to cold ruthless soldiers. What happens if you don't go or don't cooperate? You are killed ruthlessly in front of everyone to be made an example of. Why does the LRA take these young innocent children you may ask? No one really is sure what goes through the sick mind of Joseph Kony to do these terrible things, to take these kids and turn them into solders.

Who are these invisible children exactly? The invisible children are the children taken by the LRA, they are called invisible because they are basically invisible to the world. They have no way of communicating with anyone outside of their villages no Internet no phones. These children are typically between the ages of 9 -12 when they ripped away from their homes and villages.

Westboro baptist church, a religious bully

The Westboro Baptist church is a terrible immoral religious organization established in 1955 by pastor Fred Philips. This religious organization do terrible things across american and quite honestly are, haters. This organization believes strongly that God hates homosexuals, which is entirely untrue because if in-fact he did hate them all, he could have just killed them off. It appears that this church has absolutely no respect for human dignity. The Westboro baptist churches beliefs are very frightening. They do crazy out of the ordinary things like thanking God for dead solders, that's just sick. It seems as though this church has little moral law instilled in them and are somewhat the opposite of Christianity, they actually oppose Christianity and many other religions.  This organization has picketed in many cities in America, thank goodness not in Rochester. This organization takes everything way to literal and did not follow that Jesus told us to follow the bible spiritual. These crazy people believe that everyone is interpreting the bible incorrectly. It is also noted that they plan to protest a ceremony for the recently deceased Steve Jobs who is a true american icon. This ridiculous organization has protested anything from a funeral to a charity event. This crazy"church" even believes that Obama is the Antichrist! Last but not least they claim that they preach hate because the bible preaches hate. In my personal opinion i think that these people their ideas and their movements are absolutely ridiculous!
