Your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church

Only one cure: Shotgun to the face.

It's still quite a problem to this day.

Uggh.....

Thoughts? Uh...is there really any other thought than utterly disgusted you can have? 
I'm surprised and kind of glad you never heard of them before Jonas!
They are pretty much the most hated group of people in America. There is not a division of society you can find that likes em. Seriously, even the KKK said they are not affiliated in anyway with WBC  



They REALLY made the shitstorm years ago when they started protesting funerals for soldiers that died in Iraq.

I must say though, it's a bit more twisted than some think. The head of the "church" Fred Phelps is pretty much just a narcissistic socipath, that has used his family as a personal cult.
Seriously, WBC has like 50 member and I believe almost all are his children, grand children, great grand children, and immediate families. I actually feel bad for the kids. They are brainwashed. Utterly and totally brainwashed.
The way we'd talk about how your day is, is how they talk about God Hates Fags.
They all live together, and have removed the fences so they have this big communal yard. It's fuckin twisted.

Also, I mentioned feeling bad for the kids. Seriously, there is this documentary, and at one point someone throws a milkshake at this 7 year old kid and he is crying and all. That boy will forever just think it's because "well those people were evil fag lovers" and the mom says "hey its ok, u want your sign?" like the god hates sign is how she would give him an ice cream....it's horrifying.

Yet as people they are...almost normal.
If you got like 50 minutes watch this thing, it's the most surreal thing I've ever seen. You  do feel bad for the kids and will have nightmares about Fred Phelps... he is an extremely disturbed individual.

My thoughts:

Seriously, watch this.

It in no way makes you hate them any less, but you will feel bad for some of the family when you see have been born and bred into this cult Phelps has made. Also it's just surreal, it's like a novel they are such warped people.


Oh as for OP, I'm no Christian but don't feel ashamed for a moment. It's human nature to want to feel guilt by association but don't. First, to even call them Christian is....well a fuckin joke,  they are so out there...it's beyond words. Stay proud of what you believe in, and when the few morons who say something like "well, what can you expect from Christians" or even "Well, that's America for you" screw em. WBC represents only themselves.

Fuck 'em.

I know some of you aren't British, but did anyone see the Louie Theroeox special where he did a documentary with Westboro baptist, got to sort of live with them for a while, interview the members etc ?
