What do you dislike about the Westboro Baptist Church?
« Reply #5 on: September 07, 2012, 02:50:48 PM »
from wiki:

" in 2011, the church stated that it had about 40 members"

there is a releif of sorts.....

a memo " "There are over 1 billion Catholics in the world—that's one out of every six people alive today—and every single one of them will split Hell wide open when they die—period. And there is nothing they can do about it."

or this didy, knocking us and the Orthodox ""There is no scripture that supports bowing down to kiss images ... or praying to Mary! She was a human being, who God predestinated to bring forth the Lord Jesus Christ, and to raise him."

though some truth here:

"'The only true Jews are Christians. The rest of the people who claim to be Jews aren't, and they are nothing more than typical, impenitent sinners ... the vast majority of Jews support fαɢs. In fact, it is the official policy of Reformed Jews to support same-sex marriage. Of course, there are Jews who still believe God's law, but most of them have even departed from that. It doesn't matter if you're a Jew or a Gentile...as long as you believe in Christ"

wiki quotes a memo:

"The Westboro Baptist Church believes that Barack Obama is the Antichrist, and that he forms an Unholy Trinity with Satan and Pope Benedict XVI, who they believe is the False Prophet"

uh-huh, gotta love the Prot view that enemy of the week=antichrist....

from wiki on Phelps:

"Phelps describes himself as an Old School Baptist, and states that he holds to all of the Five Points of Calvinism.[23] Phelps particularly highlights John Calvin's doctrine of unconditional election, the belief that God has elected certain people for salvation before birth, and limited atonement, the belief that Christ only died for the elect, and condemns those who believe otherwise.[24] Despite Phelps' claims of being a Primitive Baptist, he was ordained by a Southern Baptist church and is rejected and generally condemned by Primitive Baptists.[25]

Phelps views Arminianism (particularly the views of the Methodist theologian William Munsey) as a "worse blasphemy and heresy than that heard in all filthy Saturday night fag bars in the aggregate in the world".[26] In addition to John Calvin, Phelps admires Martin Luther and Bob Jones, Sr., and has approvingly quoted a statement by Jones that "what this country needs is 50 Jonathan Edwardses turned loose in it."[27] Phelps particularly holds to equal ultimacy, believing that "God Almighty makes some willing and he leads others into sin", a view he says is Calvinist.[28]

Phelps is against common Baptist practices like Sunday school meetings, Bible colleges and seminaries, and multi-denominational crusades,[29] although he attended Bob Jones University and worked with Billy Graham in his Los Angeles Crusade before Graham changed his views on a literal Hell and salvation. Phelps considers Graham the greatest false prophet since Balaam, and also condemns large church leaders such as Robert Schuller and Jerry Falwell, in addition to all current Catholics"

IMO, Baptists are perhaps the worst denomination. As Belloc said, they're very anti-Catholic. They're heretics like all the other Prots out there.


many Baptists I know now are taking the indifferent tone, ie, any follower of Jesus is fine, does not matter "what religion you are" approach and "its about relationship, not religion" common phrase...

but, what is underlying is that the Catholic must give in and up his particular beleifs to meet them the half of way...ie, EENS

They're a bunch od damn kooks and attention-whores, regardless of their position on "fαɢs", in the military or elsewhere. I have two sons serving and God forbid one them dies in battle and these weirdos come protesting at the funeral, I guarntee a few of them would be sent to the afterlife  that day where they can explain to God how they were disrespecting fallen soldiers all in his name.

I would love to see them pull their shananigans at a Muslim funeral.

They know better.

They actually have "picketed" at least 1 Muslim funeral. It's mentioned in the second video. And they even burned the Koran.

Quote from: Telesphorus
They are unseemly attention-seekers.

While one can look at their antics and the reactions they cause with a kind of black humor,
unfortunately they scandalize by their cultivation of absurdity that becomes sometimes overtly blasphemous.

"God hates the World" - just one example.

I'm just providing the link to show the sort of language they literally use:

That's not to say they're all necessarily malicious and bad-willed people, but they are highly perverse.  And they are heretics.


That's part of the fascination for me. I guess I like it when people go out of their way to offend these sacred, protected groups. Taste of their own medicine and all that.
