Published on Jul 30, 2012

We followed the story of the Westboro Baptist Church as families split and children were brainwashed into picketing funerals and bashing homosexuals.

During that time, we interviewed more than a dozen members of the reviled group, including some of the only members not related by blood, the Drains. They welcomed us into their homes and gave us access to 17 years of home video footage. In return, we produced an unbiased look into the lives of one of America's most despised organizations.

    Read Galatians 5:22-23, and Luke 18:9-13. Then get back to me about how real Christians are supposed to act. When I see Westboro acting as such, I will stand corrected.

    I thought it might be legal trouble with using other artists songs, like they do. No?

    If these people go to heaven, I want the other alternative.

    Let me ask you a question how can there be branches of Christianity, who say you go to hell for one thing but in the other you don't.

    How are these ignorant disrespectful people still alive. Anyone that goes into the military should be respected. In the bible Jesus was a forgiving and charitable man, take a page for his book and stop fucking judging others.

    God doesn't hate the person he hates the sin, there is a difference. May i ask you have you read the Bible cover to cover, i doubt you have, so don't make statements that you can't defend.God cares for each person but hates the sin that they have chosen to commit.
