These people aren't wing anything. They are just a fringe group of loony tunes.

I mean you really only need the slightest inkling of objectivity to see this. It's not that hard dude.
I think they were being sarcastic.

Y'all can also have the Dark Age theocracy that Kansas has become as well. And the people who think that voice in their head is some sort of real deity. And Hank Williams II.
Wish I could rep you again but um...yeah, what you said

I never recalled atheist ever claiming to not be bias. Most of them are rather forthright in their opinion on religion actually. Agnostics on the other hand are who you may be thinking of.

To get this back on topic -- they had a private funeral and Westboro, like the rest of us -- didn't know where it was.

So the dingbat crazynutters didn't get to make a scene.

This is not even an actual church and is in no way connected to any Baptist association or convention. It is made up of the founder, Fred Phelps and mostly his family members who are almost all lawyers. They are experts in civil rights law and get most of their funding from some of the same sources as the ACLU...surprise, surprise. Also, Fred Phelps is a lifelong Democrat.

This is not related to any right wing, religious movement of any sort. To think so is to jump to incorrect conclusions which many on here do quite frequently.

I would think some of the Gay Pride Organizations would look forward to an opportunity to take on these Kansas Tea Party Nutters head on.

Westboro Baptist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



And I know someone that lives in the residential neighborhood their so- called church is in. The 'church' is really just a residential property. These people have been aquainted with the family for years, but they are not what you call friendly.
