I was going around from blog to blog, reading some good post and just have some much fun that I felt like my house should be home to the GOP(Grand Old Party). Then all of a sudden I was angered. Beyond belief. I have never been this disappointed at any web site in my life. This is the website of a church! A church! This came from people who claim to love God. A bunch of scripture quoting un-compassionate thugs. Yeah, I am writing angry.
I have never said this about any person or Church before that claimed to be Christian, but there is a first time for everything, They are not Christians! You will know them by their Fruit! That fruit is Peace, Hope, Understanding, Acceptance, Help, and Love! Not hate! My God is not a God of hate! He does not hate you! He does not hate gays! He does not hate killers, nor liars, nor any sinner under the sun! He hates SIN! SIN not the PERSON!
This my friends is the reason why so many people say that God is dead! They say that He doesn't care! They call us bigots, hypocrites, lairs, fake , and all that other fun stuff you have heard your entire life. There is a reason for this!
Westboro Baptist Church this is looking at you! Put yourself under the microscope and see what you are! I am hurt, I am stunned, I am betrayed, I am more upset than I have ever been!
People who don't know God please do not think that this is what we are all about! We want to be your brothers and sisters. If you have been hurt by a church like this one then please forgive us. We should have watched better and gave fair warning! Not all people who say they are Christians really are.

I hate to tell you this, but the Westboro Baptist Church is about as close to being a church as the Holocaust was to being an English Tea Party. It consists of members of the Phelps family only, and exists for the sole purpose of putting Mr. Phelps and his family of inbreds in the public spotlight. He feeds on bigotry and hatred.
I don't put much stock in churches, but I think I'd join yours before I'd admit these people had anything to do with religion.
Well if it isn't my long lost friend! I thought that you had given up on visiting my theist blog. Glad to see I hadn't :)
I agree with you.I am aware that the members consist of family. Last I read it was 75 members. I am very pleased that you see the difference(I am not surprised that you do). Sadly most do not. Many blog post are using WBC to bash Christians. I am sure that you will agree that that is not a fair comparison.
No, Travis (nice to know your name, BTW) I can tell the difference between incestuous, mean spirited, hate mongering, nuckin' futz, on the one hand, and well meaning though slightly (sometimes heavily) misguided theists, on the other.
The former should be eradicated in a humane way (I'm thinking sterilization to get them out of the gene pool coupled with removal of their tongues). The latter can be educated, albeit with a little effort.
Besides, we need someone to pick the crops. ;)
I agree with you, and I am not at all defending that church or denying that God loves. God is love! However, what do you do with Pslam 5:4-5. "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity."
This verse does not say simply that God hates sin; it says God hates the sinner. Like I said, I am not denying what you were saying, but we need to look at the whole of Scripture. God hates the sinner according to this text.
