The Westboro Baptist Church is a dangerous and frightening organization. It is a church, yes, but it is also a hate group of terrifying vitriol and venom. The founder of the Church, Fred Phelps, is a disbarred attorney, and is also banned from ever entering the United Kingdom. He has helped his Church to implement some of the most horrible hate slogans imaginable, including such phrases as “God Hates F**s”, “Thank God for Dead Soldiers”, “America is Doomed” and “Priests Rape Boys”. The Church’s signs are offensive and garish, and the Church has often staged pickets of funerals for homosexual victims of hate crimes. The Westboro Baptist Church is almost like something out of a nightmare.
