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.

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.

This past weekend members of the Westboro Baptist Church brought their vitriolic message to Brooklyn.
Known for picketing the funerals of soldiers with signs that read "GOD HATES FAGS" and similar wholesome messages, the Kansas-based group didn't get much traction with their protest, and were drowned out by about 200 counter-protesters.
