I wish people would just ignore the WBC. It looks really ridiculous when you have several dozen people "counterprotesting" what amounts to be the real world equivalent of obvious internet trolls.

Aww, That's cute. You think those....HATEFUL BASTARDS WHO NEED TO SHUT UP AND DIE are trolls.
Before you die an agonizing, chainsaw-related death, you're gonna hear about the Hate Plague!
I'm accusing you of being stupid.
I dare to be stupid.

If they had the tools, I don't doubt they'd go Operation Zero Tolerance on the GLBTQ community. Trolls fish for outrage and publicity.

These people just want their Sentinels.

Tl;dr: Westboro Baptist Church are disgusting monsters, and treating them as anything but is like thinking the Klan is just a joke.

Jesus supported divorce in cases of adultery. So it wasn't 100% "marriage for life."

"The Westboro Baptist Church is said by some to be Hyper-Calvinist (certainly they endorse all the beliefs of Hyper-Calvinism). Others object that this as unfair to Hyper-Calvinists—Westboro Baptist Church's beliefs are far more extreme than that of historic Hyper-Calvinism. Hyper-Calvinist denominations have historically tended to be withdrawn and inward-looking, and by contrast Westboro Baptist Church is very publicity-seeking—although most denominations seek publicity to bring souls to Christ, Westboro Baptist sees its role as bringing people knowledge of their damnation. In contrast, while many Hyper-Calvinist churches would see the vast majority of humanity as reprobate, they do not see it as being their job to bring that fact to public attention."

I would agree with you......except they harass & torment mourners at funerals! If they were just on a random street corner being goofy, yes, I'd say "ignore them". However, they mentally torture folks who are mourning in a funeral. Funerals should be a peaceful time of remembrance, reflection & tribute....not the mental equivalent of Guantanamo incarceration.

This is why people blab about these turkeys & their inbred family hate-cult of doom.

...unless they're Vincent Cheung. But I agree the Phelps Hate Cult of Doom takes Hyper-Calvinism & turns it into OMG-I'M-HOOKED-ON-METH-AND-SPEED-AND-DRANK-TWELVE-GALLONS-OF-'JOLT'-AND-TWEAKIN'-BIG-TIME-*WWAAARRGH*-Calvinism.
