As far as I know, God does not condone hate of any form. The things these people do and the messages they vomit are truly some of the most hateful and hurtful things I have ever witnessed.

The worst part of this is the children they raise. What kind of children are raised when brought up with the belief that pure hate is a good thing?

If there really is a final judgment in Heaven or Hell, I think these people will have a very rude awakening.

Hon, you know what? Spin it all they want, this judgment isn't going away. If this comes down to a First Amendment challenge, Westboro could be in for a surprise. The Federal Court has historically been averse to protecting speech that restricts the free function of government, and the military funeral is one of those functions. This decision opens the flood gates, others will follow.

So let me see if I understand her... The people that are dying while fighting for her very right to spew her hate are the ones that are going to burn in hell? I'm confused by this.

This Woman is clearly Insane, not to mention incredibly mean spirited. What in the world could possibly lead her and the others to believe that they are right to be doing this?

When their Judgement Day comes I fear they are in for a very nasty surprise.

This Westboro Baptist church say they hates the Gay-Community. But they also hate African-Americans, Canada, Sweden, the Fire Department of NY, victims of 911, other Christian Churches, The Pope, Judaism, America, Our American Troops, and the list goes on and on. Many of the groups they despise are specifically named on their hate propaganda, picket signs, and their many websites. They not only hate, but wish death on all that they abhor.
This sick, so called church spreads its hate through picketing in our streets, provoking attacks, with abusive vulgar language, attempting to create a confrontation.
This is not about protesting, this is about a life of hate. They are not peaceful. They are not a "church". They go after any thing that can get them in the news. I am all for protest when there is a reason, I have been in many. This group will protest anything to get its face on TV or in the news. It is about an old man lost in the darkness of hate, but will put his six year old grandson in danger to save himself. They protest at the funerals of our troops. Do we have a real need to protest at any funeral? Is that a real Freedom?
The city of Topeka, the state of Kansas and the U.S. at large, its citizens and their Churches, schools and events are all held hostage by this "hate group" - always at the tax payer's expense.

Yes she is insane and the Phelps minor children should all be taken away.

Are these people even worth one hand grenade?

Ok, I have reseached this family and their church over the last few months. They are blind to the fact that they too are walking on thin ice. They have taken it upon themselves to preach GODS WORD. Ok, the Bible does say that we are to spread the word of his gospel, but where does it say that they are allowed to spread HATE. One of the seven deadly sins is WRATH and/or ANGER. Have any of you heard these people speak? They deliver their messages with anger. Fred Phelps is one of the angriest men I have ever seen. I have heard Shirley call people "Dummies" and "Bimbos". She constantly yells at people who are standing right in front of her. They express nothing but anger.

These people have the right to protest; however, they do not have the right to violate privacy. They also boast PRIDE...another deadly sin. They're proud of their message...they gloat at and taunt their fellow man. They cast judgment on other's...God is the only judge. I personally will not be judged by any man but God.

To conclude, these people are nothing more than a group of cowards who use the scriptures as a defense system to justify their hatred. They have no right to tell anyone that their love for God is fake. They have no right to tell these families that they're children are burning in hell. I have always been taught that God is love and that if you love him he will return your love.

If God is this ever hating being how can heaven be anything but hell?

With the attention they so desperately need it is nice to see cities like Omaha, not mention one thing about the "in-breeders" picketing the victims of the Westroads Mall slaying. They were there to vindicate the fact that the disturbed kid that went on a shooting massacre was from Bellevue where Shirley Phelps-Roper was arrested for corrupting a minor by telling him to dessicate the US flag. Judgement is not a righteous virtue Phelps. If you don't like someone, keep it to yourself. Rumor has it Phelps Sr. started his one man HATE crusade after discovering one of his spawn was gay. A just punishment may be covering 'ol Fred in oil and locking him in a gay bar for awhile. Maybe the whole brood can be exiled to Iraq...won't last there very long.

This woman actually thinks somebody's child is "dead and in hell"? If it's true, I'm pretty sure she'll have a lot to say to that child when she dies (which I hope happens now) and goes there herself. Better pack a water bottle, you sorry cow.

If she thinks that all this has an effect she is wrong. SHirley Phelps-Roper is the one that is going to hell not those that SHE judges. She does not choose who goes to hell...she does not make the rules in that aspect. God is the one who passes judgment. God says Judge not lest ye be judged in the same manner. She is going to be judged just as harshly as she thinks she is condeming all these people. She is not God's judge. She has no right to pass a judgment on any person. So all she is saying is false. She chooses those statements to which she wants...
