The Westboro Baptist Church
well in history im supposed to be wrighting an essay about the modern KKK right? i now know of two modern events (hardly enough to wright a paper on) one in 2006 and one in 1997. but really i think i've found someone just as bad as the KKK.
I was sick today so i spent the day on youtube where i was eventually drawn to a video called
"(some) americans are scary dumb"
which stars Shirley Phelps, daughter of Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist church. basicly if you look up either of those three names on youtube you will find out what a lovely group of around 100 people this is. basicly the church is going around wearing shirts and bearing signs reading:
"God hats Fags"
"Thank god for dead soldiers"
"Thank god for IED""
"God hates america"
When asked about this they all reply with things like "we are warning our neighbors that they are all going to hell" and "God used incidents like 9-11 and the Iraqi war as punishment"
they openly accuse dead soldiers of dieing as punishment for studying satanism and being gay when their families claim of no such things.
sound lovely dont they?
at first i was enraged at these people, but then i continued my search to discover videos of news reporters from around the globe telling them how sick they are and one brave gent from australia even hit on Fred (the leader) as an act against them. you can even find a video of a mob attacking them. Also, if anything they are advertising how wrong Homophobia is. By the way, not only do they hate America and gays but they also hate Jews and the Swedish (?). look them up sometime! its fun, and my personal youtube recommendation is micheal moores protest against them:

and as of a few moments ago i learned that the leader Fred Phelps has several accounted reports of child abuse. oh and did i mention that most of the church is the phelps family, and there are children under five holding the hate signs durring their pickets?
just imagen a cute little five year old wearing a black shirt with "god hates fags" on it, how sweet right?
this also made me feel a bit bad because previously when i thought of Christian and homophobia together this is what i imagined, now i see how wrong i was to judge people by their beliefs and how bad the thing i was imagining can be. I want to apologize to anyone whom i might have offended in my last posts...
