Brainwashed by the Westboro Baptist Church (Part 1/2)

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.

I don't think god hates gays I just think he does not like the fact that they are gay.

and if god hates gay people why did he give them the ability to BE gay

I know you american protect each and every individuals for them free-speech, but when it comes to this level of intolerance, of homophobia, of religious nuts... what is wrong with you?

Where I live, such impudent intolerant cunts would be beaten do death by the common passers.

[Horsebalz]

so much hate, discrimination, blatant racism, how can they actually think they are doing a good job?

[leo mathew]

[adbunting]

Think they're obsessed because it's probably something they don't DO. (who the HELL would want to bonk Shirley?) Plus it's forbidden fruit. You are told you CAN NOT think of pink elephants so what can you not get out of your mind? They're all perverted fks anyway.

[adbunting]

Being against gays is not racism. That is country of origin or blacks, Hispanics, Chinese, etc.

Homophobic would be more like it.
