Westboro Baptist Church Strikes Again!

This time I can laugh at them. Westboro Baptist Church won't be up to it's usual funerary shenanigans. They have been invited by American Athiests to attend the Reason Rally on March 24, in Washington, D.C. This should be interesting; Westboro Baptist Church and reason are not words that usually occur in the same sentence. Before I moved to Kansas, I only thought that people who carry signs, get in one's face and yell "God hates fags....God hates Jews....God hates you, too!" were either Neonazi lunatics or actors in B movies! I have never seen a straight man as obscessed with gay culture as Fred Phelps, the paster of Westboro Baptist Church, and related to most of the members! It's been speculated that his whole hateful stance is the response to some closet urgings......and perhaps in his wildest dreams, the picture on the left is how he wishes he could look!


This past weekend, Westboro Baptist Church surprised Rick Santorum with the news that God hates him. It seems Santorum was more concerned about what the votors thought of him. Church members were kind enough to carry signs conveying God's hatred of other politicians, too, so perhaps it all balenced out in the end.
