At the last picture they rallied in the funeral of soldiers who died in war.

The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a church headed by Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kansas, United States. The organization is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Its first public service was held on the afternoon of Sunday, November 27, 1955.

While its members identify themselves as Baptists, WBC is an independent church and is not affiliated with any known Baptist conventions or associations. The church describes itself as following Primitive Baptist and Calvinist principles, though mainstream Primitive Baptists reject Westboro Baptist Church and Phelps, regarding them as unaffiliated to the Primitive Baptists. The views that distinguish Westboro Baptist Church are views that most Baptists and Calvinists do not recognize, and do not consider to be in any way characteristically Baptist or Calvinistic

I don't see a point in a religion (or a cult following, for that matter) that dwells in hate.

Remember, hate only begets more hate.

Haha  ;D

Hindi ko matukoy anong klaseng greater good ang pinapahiwatig nila or even their purpose for existence, what I know is it's completely irrelevant.

completely irrelevant sa ano? pasensya na, P1 pa..
: Re: WBC Westboro Baptist Church

Irrelevant kasi wala naman silang napapatunayan na kahit ano. Para maging aware ang mga tao sa harshness ng mundo? Hindi pa ba obvious enough yun lalo na ngayong recession period? May magagawa ba silang nakakatulong sa mundo? Buti pa si Jesus Christ, kahit pagdudahan pa ang claim ng kanyang pagkatao eh nakakabuti rin naman sa nakakailan kasi nagbibigay ito ng simbolo ng pag-asa, or whatever it is na nararamdaman nila.  ;D

for them sila ang pagasa ng mundo kaya ginagamit nila ang pondo ng church to finance mga plane tickets at ibang bagay to spread the word of God.

That's blasphemous. Hindi ako religious or anything but still that's dead wrong. And to think this kind of movement is supported, hindi tama yun.

and the bad thing is yung spokesperson nila si shirley, daughter or the founder, is a degree holder of B.A. in Criminal Justice and J.D in Criminal Justice. She is a practicing lawyer too.

and surprisingly, yung church nila may 70-100 persons lang and most are family members.

There must be a deeper, more justifiable reason for its existence, pero hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko kung ano ang ineexpect nilang response coming from the people.

hindi ata, binasa ko yung page ng link. etong sa wbc walang pinatay pero they go to funerals just to get the attention of others.

Elizabeth Taylor (fundraiser for AIDS research) they call her "world famous filthy jew"
"Santa Claus will take you to hell"
"Mathew Shepard rots in hell"
"Ellen DeGeneres is a lesbian slut"
"Thank God for dead soldiers"
"Thank God for dead miners"
"Pray for more dead soldiers"
"pray for many more earthquakes to kill many more thousands of impudent and ungrateful Chinese".
"You're going to hell"
"Homosexuality=death"

and many more.

Actually nakakatawa sila (di nga lang nakakatuwa). May equivalent ang mga taong iyan sa mga internet forum.
