lol. these self serving hillbillies are a joke. their fake prophet is so clearly ignorant its no wonder only a handful of people listen to him. how dare they attach the good lords name to their joke of a church:cult. they are entirely media and hate hungry. but seriously, who would listen to such ignorance? i feel bad for the kids. the boy was attacked doing his mothers bidding. holding signs with words so vulgar and not understanding their meanings. tisk tisk.

I just lost all hope in humanity, this is ridiculous. If they are correct I hope the devil prevails and god burns in the firey pits of hell…..and agonizes the whole time.

Dunno, I kinda like their style, they dont hurt anyone, they dont charge anyone, all they do is free speech and excercise their religion to the letter. I guess people really hate them especially because they make other religious people look like hypocrits.

These delusional delirious deranged people are the fags and don’t know that when Jesus was crucified the mosaic law was abolished and they believe Jesus is god when the bible clearly states Jesus is the son of God. The world is just sick of them verbally abusing us with their incorrect version of the bible, God doesn’t hate he loves and forgives although war is wrong it doesn’t mean God will hate the soldiers because we are all Gods creations

This is to Depot vergleich. I agree that yes, they aren’t really hurting anyone,yes,they are exercising their right to freedom of speech but, no, they are not representing what their religion is about at all. They have taken what they think their religion is about and added hate to it to a degree that is represented in that bible(I do not capitalize “bible”). There is a huge amount of death, destruction,murder,rape,incest,genocide,child abuse,spousal abuse, slavery and war that is admired and required in that damn book.
There are many christians(no….not that one either) that are trying to represent their faith in a much more positive way in our times. These “people” are sabotaging every effort that is being made by today’s christians to bring their faith to a level of respectability that can be accepted by everyone. Those “animals” are evil by all christian rules. I,myself, am not a christian(hence the disrespect to the bible and christian noncapitalization), I am a Pagan. My faith loves the Earth…unlike the christian sects available.
Let’s be honest….the westboro baptist church is a sect of radicals that want everyone to be just like them at the risk of the death of others. They would like nothing better that to control the entire planet and attach the yoke of radical christian slavery. I believe that everyone has the right to believe in what they want. Don’t push your ways onto me and don’t try to make my ways illegal. You practice your craft and I’ll practice mine….peace must reign. The world is a beautiful place and it should be enjoyed by everyone in it’s most pristine condition possible. Everyone should be able to co-exist side by side and accept all the other faiths, races, cultures and lifestyles. To reject this is sad. I fear for this world both it’s people and environment. I pray that someday it will heal like the Earth itself. She is very forgiving.
Thanks for reading my rant and blessed be.

Hey,
I don’t agree with them and according to their words, I am going to hell. Just want to say that I let God decide about me and not ms Phelps. And to be honest with you: I think everyone should do that.

What I want to say too, is that according to their words, because I am not against homosexuality I am going to hell. Again: I let our Lord decide and not the Phelps-family.

I really hope people don’t think this is Christianity consistent with the Bible. These people aren’t Christians.
They took the most heretical, fanatical, retarded, horrible representatives of anti-cranial, intellectually-handicapped Christianity, and made it appear as though that is the norm.
However, this is obviously not how Christians are supposed to act and believe according to the Bible. Agnostic and atheist arguments against the contradicting beliefs and actions of “Christians” today are spot on. Well done. These people need to be told how stupid they are.
If you’re going to fly the flag of a particular religion, at least be consistent with it’s core teachings and beliefs.
Ridiculous. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t associated with the same religion these people claim they believe in.

They say, “obey your God.” You know what? I will obey my God, and my God says be excellent to each other. Well, I’m paraphrasing…. What God really said was love your neighbor. Close enough.

I think they have been brainwashed. God knows all - he made man imperfect, he knew there would be gays, hectros and so on….and everything people go through in life is a test unto themselves. People shouldnt be concerned with what he or she believes, worry about your own life because on the day on judgement God you yourself will be judged.
To conclude….our lives have been written way before we excisted - live a honest life, do good unto others, give charity, and you will be rewarded. GOD IS JUSTICE AND YOU WILL DO YOUR TIME IN HELL FOR WHATEVER BAD YOU HAVE DONE AND YOU WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN ONCE YOUR TIME IS DONE….SO ONLY SEEK FORGIVENESS IN GOD AND BE SINCERE….

Shirley Phelps makes me physically sick. What a disgusting, soulless family.

Why even bother arguing with them? It’s funnier to watch ignorance than try to correct it.

Also, was it not in the bible, “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”? Yes it was. Scripture quotes are fun.

All i need to say that these people are really crazy. But besides that, i found that the British guy was hilarious… the way that he tried to reason with those nut jobs was funny as hell. These people are so surreal that you don’t know if you should find this documentary funny or really sad.

This makes me sad and I’m sure it makes God cry too. But I am just a human (a daughter of my Father) who does not have the authority to judge them or anybody, because we were all born as sinners. Only the wise have the knowledge of God, but the ignorant shall rot in hell. Funny thing is, the ignorant are those who are hypocrites. I have all kinds of friends, Buddhist, gay, lesbians, Catholics, Jews, and even Atheists, but you don’t see me telling them you are going to hell. All I can do is what I was taught to do in my life, which is to love one another as you love yourself (Golden Rule explanation). Also maybe they should read Romans 2 chapter: “Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgement on another you condemn yourself, , because you, the judge, practice the very same things…” (Romans 2:1).
Peace and love to everyone! =)

I had a variety of reactions to this documentary. I think the interviewer was doing his best to frame questions that might get underneath their robotic mindset. But he was clearly invested in changing minds (I’ll bet many of us would succumb to that temptation). He also knew, I’m sure, that if he were too blunt they would have thrown him out.
As in all groups like this, some will escape and some will remain spellbound. If I believed in a Devil, I could imagine him well-pleased with them. But I don’t, and to react to their painful delusions with self-righteous hatred, rather than empathy, would be to mimic their behavior.
