I think this Margie should go get a life. Hopefully it might be at least 1 percent as creative or productive as Jobs' life has been.....

The westboro cultists are insane and need to die in a fire, in my opinion. However their views on religion are just as valid as any the rest of us hold. No religion can be proved or disproved and is entirely the theory of man. There is no possible way other than "faith" to prove any of it regardless of what the belief/theory is. The wesboro cultists are a menace, not because of their religious views, but because of the extreme lack of respect they continually dish out on the rest of us, and in particular, those trying to deal with the loss of a loved one.

So, to everyone blaming their religion as the cause of their problem consider this. Think of all the millions who have been murdered over the ages in the name of religion. Think of all the extreme intolerance that has taken place in the name of god. And, think of how each of those people committing these acts felt justified in his or her own mind, just as all of you do that your less extreme views are correct and superior to the beliefs of those you disagree with. However, religion in all these cases is not the problem. Regardless of the irrationality of all religion, the real problem is the people who use religion or any other excuse to do bad things. If these people didn't have religion they would find some other justification for their intolerance, hatred and extreme actions.

The westboro cultists, Bin Laden and his ilk that bombed us on 9/11, Nazis, the “church” in the middle ages who burned millions at the stake for not accepting their dogma, all of these are examples of the people cut from the same cloth. They are evil, pure and simple. Religion, while it can be part of the problem when used to incite others, is not the root cause. Stop blaming religion and start blaming the defective humans among us.

These people dare to call themselves christians? I have never seen a christian with such hatred.

I think a drone attack on this group is justified. Send them to HELL to meet their true god.

I want to picket this womans life. Shes using our oxygen.

We are so waiting the day for old Fred to meet his maker and burn in hell. you KNOW his days as very numbered. Imagine the protests at his funeral. And that b***t Margie will finally get it. But not until I pinch a nice sweet spicy loaf out on Freddie boy's burial spot.

Can you imagine how many people would picket Margie Phelps funeral?

Hey you ignorant savages, there is no god, no hell, just people seeking to have dominion over others, in other words, over slaves. Religion has killed or had killed millions upon millions in the name of religion over the centuries, and now that we are somewhat more sophisticated in the 21st century, people still stay ignorant, still bow down to slavery, still kill in the name of religion. You people are disgusting, especially since you condone murder in the name of religion,.

I always thought God (in any form) was all about tolerance, compassion, and forgiveness. If you really want a conspiracy, Westboro Baptist is really a front for ultra-right wing government operatives, laying to foundation for the elimination of religious freedoms in the country by sowing the seeds of distrust among the masses through grossly incredible anti-social activities (man, I loved thinking that one up!!)

In the same way that we don't call an Al Qaeda gathering a Mosque, the media should stop calling the Westboro Baptist cult a church. Or even Baptist. Even though it's not a perfect comparison, the hatred fostered in these groups does NOT represent their apparent religious origins. These people know nothing of Jesus. They are the Westboro cult.

Since they inspire fear, can we call them the Westboro Terrorists?

See subject line.
