Wisdom of Children; 9 year old protests infamous Westboro Baptist "church"

Amen, brother Josef, the Jesus of the Gospels hates no one.  Rock on, little dude.

[A mother was filled with pride when her young son mounted a quiet counter-protest against picketers from the Westboro Baptist Church over the weekend, theAugusta Chronicle reports.
Nine-year-old Josef Miles and his mother, Patty Akrouche, were walking around the Washburn University campus in Topeka, Kan., on Saturday when they saw a group of Westboro Baptist Church protesters armed with signs.
The Church is infamous for using pickets with phrases like "God hates fags" and "Thank God for dead soldiers."
After reading some of the signs on display, Akrouche said that Miles asked her if he could create one of his own.
Using a small sketch pad, he wrote out his message in pencil and held it out while he stood across from the picket line.
"GOD HATES NO ONE," he wrote.]  Caps in original; bold added for emphasis
