The Wise One
"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
And at Brian Robert Enright (First off, fabulous name, my name is also Brian Robert
) I disagree, I truly think they are hurting people. Even though they’re not hurting people physically, they hurt people metally.
I started watching this and was angry at these people. I ended only feeling sorrow and remorse for an old, hate filled man stealing the lives of so many innocents. The old man is just smart enough to indoctrinate everyone and avoid every question that he knows to be indicative of his own doctrines. In doing so, he steals the lives of everyone in his ‘church’. He makes them love hate, and teaches them that everyone, aside from themselves, is not to be trusted. The young girl displays all the symptoms of being brainwashed. Her tell is laughing. She has been taught, or has learned, to laugh whenever she is forced to think, therefore hiding the pain she is going through. She then changes the subject and puts up a mental block. Its correcting a symptom of lonliness without curing the cause. It’s too bad, it seems like she would have been a nice girl with a future ahead of her if not for being born to such a terrible family. Her finale explains it all- she is cut off from society for the actions her family does, and thus, she sees people as not worth saving. Since everyone she knows pickets, they are the only people who she can confide with, the only people she can trust and love. She sees the world through a glass covered in hatred, and since she is in a controlled environment, she buys into the reasoning that its people, not her, which bring out the hate.
Honestly, these people are old news. I’m bored hearing about them.
But I will say one thing, when Fred Phelps died there BETTER be HUNDREDS of people outside of his funeral with signs!
I dont believe in god, or h***, or baptists, or whatever, but if there was a h***, i’d sleep easy at night knowing Gramps is down there.
Too bad we just cease to exist.
Oh, and a side note, I wonder how these people explain homosexual behaivor in the animal kingdom?
Well,…….here’s a test for all of us. OK,…..OK,……so no one likes the Westboro Baptist Church. What do we do about it? Put them out of business by legal means. Have ‘em wacked. Maybe we should petition our congressmen to keep them from exercising their Constitutional rights…….yeah…..I said it…..their Constitutional rights. Look, I don’t like ‘em either. They have a h*** of allot of nerve doing what they do. But, I don’t care if you’re a Christian or a Pagan……..we all know that they will pay for what they’re doing eventually, one way or the other(in the afterlife).
Look, whatever you may think of the …..W.B.C…….you should be happy that they’re able to do what they do. That means that you also have the right to express yourself when your time comes. Isn’t that what is really important? That’s what our soldiers have defended with their lives. Tens of thousands of soldiers have died to protect your right to express yourself without fear of bodily harm. Are we going to nullify the sacrifices that all of those people made? I hope not……we are all responsible for keeping their right to demonstrate alive and well……why don’t you demonstrate against them (in a peaceful manner)?
From what i understand about them is that everyone except them is going to h*** and you must amend your ways but it wont save you, you will still go to h*** even if your saved. Also would you really want a church leader that calls you a poopy pants and simpleton when you ask why they believe what they believe, and gets loud, defensive and dodgy when you ask questions about there religion then turns right around and says they will answer questions about there religion if you stop asking stupid questions. When i get angry I get irrational and im still not nearly as irrational as they are. I also have never read the bible nor will i claim to have but it sounds to me that they misread or misunderstood and misquote the book. I even wonder if they are aware that f*** are just cigarettes?
I think…in a way they’re style is alright, freedom of speech is something we do as Americans and well, they don’t technically resort to violence, however they DO harm people. They harm their kids, they harm themselves, and they harm everyone around them by thinking that everyone is evil, even though in this day and age it seems like everyone is evil, there’s still hope. They’re hopeless people, who don’t know what to do in times of crisis other than blame a higher power for our mistakes. I respect any and all religion and everyone’s beliefs, but blaming a deity for something that’s clearly a human act is something I despise.
can someone explain to me why people talk about what god thinks or feels or wants? how can a mortal know what god is thinking? is it not arrogance to assume that you understand god? let us remember that the bible is written by men who, at best, claimed to be inspiried by god. that’s not a very convincing argument.
I have seen comments (since i started watching this on youtube, but the last part couldn’t be found), about how they hate the Westboro Baptist Church. What’s the point in hating them when they don’t see how the message is affecting the populace negetively and are so firm on their beleifs as to think they are indeed right and everyone is wrong.
I have not read the bible in full but come from a rather religious family, I myself am not religious but rather spiritual and beleive in a higher power, and that all forms of life, love and such is a thing of beauty and should be respected . I too hate, I am human after all, but i find it rather exausting to hate for long periods of time. At first I hated them but then i soon gave up.
Let them think what they will, they atleast have that much right. Let us think what we will, we have that right. (Although part of me wants to see two g** men makeout when they are picketing, that is my opinion, think what you will of it, it won’t matter to me)
And if i go to h*** because i assosiate with homosexuals, that i support everyones right to live how they want then ,so be it. Atleast h*** will be warm.

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.
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 h***. Funny thing is, the ignorant are those who are hypocrites. I have all kinds of friends, Buddhist, g**, lesbians, Catholics, Jews, and even Atheists, but you don’t see me telling them you are going to h***. 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! =)

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 h***. These people are so surreal that you don’t know if you should find this documentary funny or really sad.
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.
Why even bother arguing with them? It’s funnier to watch ignorance than try to correct it.
Shirley Phelps makes me physically sick. What a disgusting, soulless family.
This documentary (and this eisbwte) really opened my eyes to the fact that I’m not the only q**** desi girl around. Stupid as it sounds, I honestly never really took to the interwebs and poked around because any media representation of g** South Asians tends to be about g** men, and never about L****** women. And of course, I think there are all sorts of reasons for that involving privilege and the power that a lot of Indian families hold over their daughters’ heads. I have to say, I love this documentary for portraying that honestly and not trying to either water it down or dramaticize it. I’m a college student in a small town, and I’ve never, ever met another q**** desi before. And reading/watching about the fact that we EXIST is a comfort within itself
I think they have been brainwashed. God knows all – he made man imperfect, he knew there would be g***, 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 h*** 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….
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 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.
two words to describe these people : absolutely crazy!
What I want to say too, is that according to their words, because I am not against homosexuality I am going to h***. Again: I let our Lord decide and not the Phelps-family.
Hey,
I don’t agree with them and according to their words, I am going to h***. 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.
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.
These delusional delirious deranged people are the f*** 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
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.
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 h***…..and agonizes the whole time.
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.
