Westboro Baptist Church, ever heard of it? Trust me you'd remember. The WBC began in Topeka, Kansas with Pastor Fred Phelps that claims to be of Christian denomination. This most bizarre religious organization consider themselves to be the "Old School Baptists". They follow the teachings of the Bible, publicly preach the sovereignty of God, and protest against all forms of sin. This doesn't sound all that bad does it? Just following their own interpretation of the Bible message? Unfortunately, this group is far worse than it seems.
The people of Westboro Baptist Church travel the country to protest and picket against a long list of hated groups.They are especially unfriendly to homosexuals, jews, other religions, and the American government and its soldiers. These hatreds are publically displayed, usually on large, colorful signs containing hateful and unfriendly words, including: GOD HATES FAGS, AIDS CURES FAGS, FAGS BURN IN HELL, FAGS ARE NATURE FREAKS, GOD GAVE FAGS UP, NO SPECIAL LAWS FOR FAGS, FAGS DOOM NATIONS, THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS, FAG TROOPS, GOD BLEW UP THE TROOPS, GOD HATES AMERICA, AMERICA IS DOOMED, and on and on. They their imense and numerous hatreds from their literal interpretations from the Bible passages. The problem is that they interpret it all wrong. They read it and think that God didn't like war or gays and Jewish people crucified Jesus, so we should avange God's 'hatred' for them by publically denouncing their culture, actions, or beliefs. This contradicts the most important message from the Bible. That is charity and love. In every single Scripture passage, God reminds us to always love your neighbor and do unto them as you would wish to be done unto yourself. The members may be right about what they take out of the Bible, but they are painstakingly missing the big picture.
I respect them for having their personal views and beliefs, but taking their anger out on all of the rest is just immortal. They picket at many major sporting events or gatherings, in front of important buildings, and even at funerals of dead soldiers because they fought for a country who supports gays and abortion! Whats moral about that? Absolutely nothing is correct. The WBC is viewed by many people as the most disturbing and rude 'religious organization' that has ever existed. The values they have strip all of their opposition of human dignity and attract immense ammounts of media attention. I hope that they may soon realize the evil they are imposing onto others, for their sake, for the victums' sake, and for their children's sake. Attached is a video showing of how parents are brainwashing their kids early to follow WBC beliefs. It is truely a dibocle. I am in awe that there are actually people that do thesse types of things. Total shock.
