During the assassination attempt on Congresswoman Giffords in Tucson, six other individuals were killed. One of whom was nine-year-old Christina Green. Her death took on added significance for she was born on September 11, 2001, the day America was attacked. From this incident, she was one of the 50 children portrayed in the book Faces of Hope.
The Westboro Baptist Church, which views America as evil and pickets military funerals, shortly after the Tucson shooting published a poster. Part of the poster read, "The nine-year-old girl was born 9/11/01! 'Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it,' Micah 6:9. God mercifully gave this nation a fair warning on 9/11 -- but you despise his mercies, so you get no mercy -- man, woman or child. That's how God the Avenger rolls!"
Peter said God "judges all people impartially according to their deeds." The congregation of Westboro has a misunderstanding of God's judgment. God's judgment is not upon an innocent nine-year-old girl or upon a nation represented by a liberal congresswoman, but upon a congregation that knows only hate and condemnation.
