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.

Sort: Top Picks
Westboro Baptist Church is coming to my area this upcoming week and I've started an economic counter protest (through Facebook) with people pledging $1/minute to the Matthew Shepard Foundation for every minute they're here. We've raised over 35,000 dollars so far -- and now I'm trying to brainstorm how to get some major blog coverage so we can up our donation amount even further.
So far, I haven't really done much publicity for this movement...

The notorious homophobes at the Westboro Baptist Church will take a break from picketing the funerals of dead soldiers to go after pop-punk outfit All Time Low. The "church" posted an explanation of the reasons for the protest in their schedule, but the gist is this:

- Hundreds counter Westboro Baptist Church protest (dailytargum.com)
For members of Westboro Baptist Church - the hardcore right-wing Topeka outfit fronted by proud bigot Fred Phelps - Greater Boston is a missionary’s Graceland. In fact, we harbor enough of Westboro’s target demographics to warrant a six-stop, two-day picket tour through our queer-and-Jew-filled landscape. Knowing that authorities would arrange to protect their cowardly behinds, Westboro disciples gave ample warning about their coming crusade...

We’ve debated before whether Westboro Baptist Church is worthy of newsprint. Probably not. But the group likely won’t go away if we simply ignore it, which seems to be what The Washington Post had in mind when leaving any mention of Westboro out of this story about their protest at the school the Obama girls attend.

As an atheist I can probably point to more positives about those that practice their faith than I can negatives. For every misguided and bigoted member of Topeka, Kansas' Westboro Baptist Church protesting at military funerals, there are countless more silent and compassionate people of faith doing what needs to be done. As appalled and outraged as I might be over the Westboro flock, I can be equally touched and humbled by the sacrifices of...
