Westbrook Baptist Church

OK, Fred is dead. And these folks intend to picket the liquor store that put champagne on sale in his "honor." Maybe understandable if you're a member of the church but to others this appears to be a waste of time. Now the serious part, whether you agree with these folks or not doesn't matter. But does anyone know what motivates these folks? Really and truly, what is their mission?

Sorry didn't notice spell check "corrected" Westborro to Westbrook

Not to be that guy, but it's Westboro(sp?). Westbrook is the name of one of the neighborhoods around me.

Sue anyone and everyone for everything they are worth is my guess. I feel like they use religion as a guise to do so to get people to act out giving them cause to sue.

Westbrook is also an NBA player.

Isn't that the ploy of most organized religion in one way or another? Sorry, it's against my religion and you offended me.

Their purpose in life was to get people mad enough to attack them and then sue. Big daddy Fred Phelps was an attorney.

Definitely not. I grew up in a Christian household, and I was not taught to sue because I was offended or attacked by someone.

If that is what you truly think organized religion is about, you are very misguided in your way of thinking about religion.

No.....

Not to start an off topic debate, and I'll leave it with this last comment on the subject. But read your history books, that is all "organized" religion has brought about. Wars, murders, lawsuits, terrorism, attempted genocide, rape, molestation, a front for dirty money...the list in lengthy, and it is scattered in the history of every organized religion.
