- nofrak1, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7I thought it was fun when Hell's Angels decided to provide security at some of the soldiers funerals and got between the protesters and the families, so all they saw was a big line of guys holding flags.
- luke123, on 10/31/2007, -2/+8Indeed. Ignore them. In the Bible, Paul's letter to the church in Rome states: "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not think you are superior." The Westboro Baptist Church is a tiny, church made up mostly by one family. I see no love or mercy in them, therefore, I believe they're misguided and have no real understanding of the Bible. Leave their correction up to God. It will come.

- neoblaque, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4Someone has been doing her homework!
- jessicass, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4They believe that god struck down the bridge to punish Minneapolis for its lenient views on sodomy and the like.
- radicaldementia, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5just stop paying attention to them, they don't deserve it.
- Akaji, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4Or, better yet, go steal their signs. Apparently it's happened twice (according to that brochure), and the police did nothing about it. As a Christian living in Minnesota, there's nothing more I'd like to see than these a-holes arrested for disturbing the peace.
- unclejesse0, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4The Westboro Baptist Church is not representative of what Christianity is like. As a Christian, I get angry when people compare me to them. What they preach and practice is the opposite of what the Bible teaches. They teach hatred while the Bible says to show love to everyone. These people just have problems and it is a shame that they get so much publicity.
- mardigrasnut, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3"There are only 70 members of the Westboro church, “60 of whom are related to Phelps through blood or marriage or both.”
this just proves inbreeding is a bad thing - Gadren, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3The WBC are nothing but trolls. Don't feed them.
- Cossa, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3It wasn't the Hell's Angels. But I agree w/ your sentiments.
www.patriotguard.org - CaptainNoPants, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2has anyone checked into the possibility that all these people are the result of years of inbreeding?
- viciouspoultry, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2I personally love how Fred Phelps the founder of the church got rid of many of the Jim Crow laws in Kansas.
- card51short, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1you mean...it wasn't?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The only reason ThinkProgress care what these vile people do is because they hate homosexuals.
- lordtyros, on 10/31/2007, -3/+4I dunno, bin Laden and all that are doing a pretty good job too. You want to donate some money to al Qaeda? Have fun in Guantanamo.
- carbon12, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"God hates the World" sung by the Westboro Baptist Church: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQjLLPoxbKk
- Apokalyps2547, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Phelps & the WBC are wackos. Their philosophy don't even stand up to scrutiny from a literal biblical perspective, much less a logical/secular perspective. Their behavior is even worse than their flawed philosophy. For SHAME, Phelps! For SHAME!
- konamax123, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Is there any place on earth that these psychotic psuedo fundamentalists would find something like this unfortunate?
- Cossa, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It was NOT the Hell's Angels. Get your facts straight.
www.patriotguard.org - inactive, on 10/31/2007, -5/+3actually, if i could afford it, I'd make a donation to their church, a generous one. Nobody on the planet is doing more to show just how deeply ***** up is the religious mind. Give them more press, let more people hear about their insanity.
