    The Westboro Church are the only true Christians.

    They follow the word of God.

    Any other Christian telling you they are wrong are hypocrites. Honestly, it's funny to me how so many people will twist their own scripture (Word of God), to fit their societal views.

    Religion is a plague.

    Nope. It's an example of nominalists who follow anything BUT the exact content of the Bible. Otherwise, why would they hate John 3:16 and Mark 16:16?

    Quite the contrary actually, the westboro baptist is a good example of mislead extremists.

    Burning the Korans was not Christian at all, nor is their attitude towards homosexuals.

    And you can go ahead and say all Christians act the same towards homosexuals, but that's just a common generalization.

    Sort of. Most fundamentalist Christians are not quite that unpleasant. I think the Westboro Baptist Church just uses the Bible as an excuse to hate people.

    In a way, yes.Wesboro supports hate, and violence against others who aren't of the same race, sexuality or religion. Over the years the Bible has been re-written, by different people, and transcribed, and interpreted. Many Christians say that God loves everyone, no matter race, sexual preference, or religion. Others say that he hates anyone who is gay, or of a different skin color. Sadly, Christianity is(and many other religions) are based on fear. They tell you that if you sin you will go to hell, and forever burn in its fiery depths. If you praise god, attend church, and spread his word, you will live in the clouds, with streets of gold. The bible isn't a nice book, and I honestly don't understand how people can base their whole lives on a book written thousands of years ago.

    I don't appreciate religion, and I sure as hell don't take part in it.

    Sadly, yes. Although many Christians are closeted homophobics, their rabid efforts to prevent gay marriage and their efforts to keep homosexuals as second class citizens are the basis for Westboro Church teachings.

    No, it is an example of people who spread hatred in the name of GOD and religion and interpreting the bible to fit their needs.

    Noone follows the bibles words...if they did they'd be arrested for a multitude of crimes that they were told to do in the bible!

    Not literally, but in many ways yes. The WBC accurately displays the craziness that The Bible truly is.
