Christians are you ashamed of the Westboro Baptist Church?

We all have a family member that is embarrassing beyond all belief and we just don't want to acknowledge them as a part of our family...are the members of the Westboro Baptist Church like said family members to Christians?

    They simply call themselves Christians, they are not behaving in the manner of Christians. I can go in my driveway make vrooming sounds and say I'm a car, that doesn't make me a car.

    I'm ashamed of them on the scale of we share a gene pool.

    I have not guilt or shame for what others do. I follow christ and each individual is accountable for their own actions. did you think this was clever or funny, then you should be asked is your family embarrassed of you acting upon others this way, ridiculing and generalizing Christians who seek peace and are purposed to love one another, by the way the way, how old are you?

    I'm not ashamed of them at all.

    Anyone who for a moment thinks that the Westboro Baptist cult represents Christianity, Christian beliefs, or Jesus Christ is a willing fool.

    Yes. No matter what they claim they are NOT Christians. Christians FOLLOW the teachings of Christ. Buddhists FOLLOW the teachings of Buddha. If I call myself a Buddhist but I kill in the name of Athena. I'm not a Buddhist. just claiming to be. Same goes for any set of beliefs.

    Yes, it is rather embarrassing to have people like that claim to be Christians.
