Reacting with hate and repulsed shock are what they want. If everyone treated them with dignity, respect and love they would probably be less notorious.

They try to concoct the most offensive thing imaginable just so people will pay attention to their asinine/cruel message. A perfect example is what they chose as the name of their picket group: God Hates Fags. Basically the WBC is trying to get knee-jerk reactions from people.

We could not possibly be more opposite from the barbaric Westboro people. Hate in the name of religion is the reason I didn't join a church for the first 34 years of my life. We found the UU church and we've been happy ever since. God doesn't make mistakes. God loves everyone. I realize the Westboro people believe their way is the only way, but - holy cow - gimme a break! To answer the question: What Would Jesus Do? He'd be embarrassed by their actions. My son and I are members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron, Ohio.

I want to take a shower after READING about these pickets. And it's good to hear the stories about regular rednecks shouting down these psychopaths. You’ve got a strong stomach, sir.
