A community portal about Westboro Baptist Church with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Westboro Baptist Church is a U.S. religious organization headed by Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kansas. It runs the website GodHatesFags.com , and GodHatesAmerica.com, and other websites expressing condemnation of homosexuals, Roman Catholics, Muslims and other groups. The organization is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, and classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group has achieved national notoriety in recent years due to their picketing of funeral processions for soldiers killed in combat, which functions as an extension of the Phelps' anti-United States beliefs.
When it comes to their nutty picketing schedule, Westboro Baptist Church apparently takes a "No Child Condemnation Left Behind" approach:
Next on WBC's docket? Well, we expect them to picket the funeral of "the last trace of shame that once resided within their collective bodies," since it has clearly passed away as well.
***NOTE: The full Westboro press release can be found on their website. However, a link from us is something these toddler-targeting theologians will never receive...

We can now add John Edwards to the list of people the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) believes to be cursed by God. Not because of the former senator's philandering, but because of his long fight to end the U.S. military's "Don't ask; Don't tell" policy. This past Saturday, WBC claimed that Edwards attacked the church for "preaching God's holy truth about fags" and they called his wife Elizabeth (who was recently diagnosed with terminal breast cancer) a "fornicator-enabler" due to her work as...

I see that I will have to add some more folks to my “Sit Your Azz Down” list. According to Mediatake.com, members and supporters of the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing outside of Bernie Mac’s funeral scheduled for tomorrow. According to the church's website, the reason for the demonstration is because Bernie had 50 years to serve God and he didn't. Their statement regarding their reason for the protest reads in part: “Bernie, you had all those 50 years to serve God in spirit and in...

We heard a rumor that Olympic superstar (and NBC's wet dream) Michael Phelps was distantly related to the notorious clan from Westboro Baptist, so we contacted WBC's Shirley Phelps-Roper to see if there was any truth to it. Here is Shirley's full response, posted with her permission:
I don't know the answer to that fully - but what is simply amazing is that that the lower half of his face looks so much like my Zach's lower half of his face. I had not watched a lot of the swimming until...

Looks Like They Need More Volunteers to Hold Hate Signs! Fire At Westboro Baptist Church! Actually, it was just Fred Phelps' garage! I'm sure that when many people read that there had been a fire at Westboro Baptist Church, they screamed "Thank God!" Sorry, but no such luck. It was only his garage and the cause of the blaze is yet unknown. Of course, Fred's trying to turn it into a media circus, but, unfortunately, not many papers/TV/radio venues are very interested. Poor Fred. One six...

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. I have to hope they didn't miss out on that verse. But I suspect they operate from their own version of Scripture. Hope they meet some of that vengeance in Winnipeg on Saturday when they have the effrontery to picket the funeral of Tim Maclean Have to wonder if...
