I am getting sick and tired of them trying to turn every fucking event in the world to being about them. They are a disgrace to the name church, which is quite an achievement, given the fucked up state that so many churches are in.
I would suggest that they should all burn in hell, but the truth is, I suspect that they already are. You cannot be so hate-filled without being dead inside. The tragedy is that they are right - those who deny God will be in hell. The problem is that this applies to them, not to others.

Oh good lord. I suppose it was inevitable that they'd show up, too much publicity to be had to not.
They must rejoice every time some atrocity happens. Doesn't the skewed morality of that ever occur to them?

I think they say so themselves explicitly. I've never heard anyone ask if they will also rejoice in their own misfortunes or the misfortunes of their loved ones using the same warped theological justification that they use to rejoice in everyone else's misfortunes.

They're ghouls. Feeding off the misery of others. I don't use this word lightly but spiritually I think they're satanic (in the sense of a form of ultimate evil). And I'm sure they equally feed off the hate they generate towards themselves.
The physical disgust I feel about this worries me because I think it might mean I'm giving them more importance and significance than they deserve. But I can't help it.

That's from the Daily Mail, a reactionary conservative (and Conservative) UK newspaper. Credit to them (for once) for an accurate description but it looks like they are trying to set as much distance between their point of view and that of the Phelpsians.

On the basis that many homophobes are secretly gay, I'm still waiting for Fred to be caught doing 'an immoral act' in a cottage (UK slang. US equivalent = 'tea room'.)
There is, however, an irony in posting about the Phelps family in Hell, given that is where they believe most of us are going to end up.

Can we send this comment to the American press?
I think Sioni is right, they are a group of attention whores and they show nothing of God's love. A friend of ours was put right off God by someone a bit like this - following the Aberfan disater, he went to church and heard a sermon as to how the disaster was a judgement from God.
He now comes to church regularly, mainly because of the love shown in our little fellowship. He wouldn't openly call himself a Christian, but he certainly hears the Gospel each week.

Yes I saw that and thought it was an improvement. I was interested, having not looked at their web site for a while, I checked it out for my blog post, and was amazed at how hate-focused it was. They were rejoicing in their hatred. They even have a page on biblical quotes about Gods hatred. They have affiliated sites including "godhatestheworld".
If you ask anyone the core quality of God, it is "love". That is very simplistic, but very true, and vitally important. They seem to have exchanged this for "GodHatesEverything".
It is sad, in that this outpouring of hatred cannot indicate happiness or satisfaction inside. They are filled with hate, and that is not a good sign of mental stability.

Having had these monsters show up at Gay events, the solution w as to turn them into a fund raiser for the event they were protesting. Get people to pledge x$ an hour for every they picket to some form of what they picket.
Other than than that I'm hoping for some large celebrations when Phelps goes to his reward in the afterlife.

it does seem that there are a few other individuals who have such vile views, but they are individuals. WBC is an organisation that teaches these to others, and calls itself a "church" to give itself some credibility.
There are always individual nutters, but organised hatred is so much worse.
Given time, I think as the leaders die off, the "church" will die. But that may take a long time.

I've just been criticised on Facebum for "hating them back" in choosing to voice my opinions about WBC's behaviour in response to a friend's post about same.
In a moment of pause and self-reflection, I wondered whether my agitator is, in fact, correct; am I perpetuating a culture of hate by expressing a strong opinion against this sect?
And then I remembered that they are dickwaddick fuckheads who need to be castrated, both in word and in deed.

Phelps and his hate-filled utterances have always been repugnant, but this absolutely takes the biscuit. He's well-known to be a malevolent, homophobic twat, who seems to regard homosexuals, particularly murdered ones, as fair game.
But children in an infant school? How can even someone with as warped a mind as his find anything to rejoice about in the cold-blooded killing of six- and seven-year-olds?
How dare he and his cohorts call themselves a "church"? ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

You're missing the point. Their protests are all about generating heat in return, in the hope that someone will break the law on response so that they can sue them. It's how they make their money. From that point of view protesting after this tragedy is gold dust...

I remember hearing one of the Phelpses asked for their view on "For God so loved the world..." and they immediately responded that the verse was being taken out of context and twisted. It was really quite clear that God hated the world.
Marvin, I don't think that is their game. I think they are hooked on attention, but I don't think they have anything so material or logical in their rationale for that need.

I think, to be honest, there is a danger of hatred being shown back to them. However, most of what I see is disowning of them, and anger at their mistaken and warped presentation of Christianity, not hatred.
The more offensive they are, the further away from any form of acceptance they get. Which suits their purposes completely, as they see themselves as a persecuted group.
It is not their position that homosexuality is wrong that I have a problem with. I disagree with this, but I know others who hold similar positions who I can accept perfectly OK. It is the fact that they spew their vile hatred of everyone and everything. It makes the KKK seem moderate.

It's nice to have God clear this up in person.
Obviously here are many, many reasons why people can't stand the Westboro Baptist Church! Sometimes I think that Christian hard-line conservatives hate them with special intensity because the Westboro message reads as an reductio ad absurdum, amounting to a grotesque loud-mouth parody, of a certain kind of Bible-based fundamentalism that is actually often heard here in the U.S., though usually expressed more genteely.

I wonder if it has occurred to Dobson that The Lord God Almighty might get mad with him? Wrath and vengeance are His, and are not to be tossed around by quasi-political demagogues with a theology infested with intolerance.

Dobson sees himself as a spokesman for the nation. He means the people of America IMO. Does he speak for America? No.

A figment of his imagination. His own feelings of guilt and inadequacy projected onto the rest of the world. Nasty.
ETA: Interestingly, stating this sort of weird concepts, the most hardcore so-called evangelicals seem not dissimilar to hardcore RCs - a thought which they would deny in the strongest terms.

I expect fire and brimstone is the same in any denomination. Some of the words differ, but it's the same beast albeit with a different person holding the leash.

I wasn't asking you.
Fire and brimstone is certainly not part of my Catholicism, nor that of any other Catholics that I know.
