For those with short attention spans and those who just want to see how the Westboro Baptist Church acts on national television

Westboro Baptist Church thinks that America is being punished by god America furthermore they believe it is there duty to rejoice when anything bad that happens to America. All this because of Americas (mostly non persecuting) stance on homosexuals. They are the people that run
http://www.godhatesfags.com http://www.godhatessweden.com/ http://www.godhatesamerica.com/ and
http://www.godhatescanada.com/ just to name a few.
They believe God is responsible for 9/11, Space Shuttle Columbia, West Virginia coal miners, hurricane Katrina, and the war in Iraq. There leader Fred Waldron Phelps once said in his sermons that every one who died on 9/11 was “either a fag or a fag enabler”. They are often found protesting/rejoicing at military funerals and at events relating to a disaster. This sometimes spurs violence.
Most of them are apart of the same family and all live in a compound. On top of that they think that they are the only church on the earth that practices Christianity correctly In my opinion the fit the traditional idea of a cult.
They have several webpages of media and “information”.
http://www.thesignsofthetimes.net does a good job explaining views
http://www.thesignsofthetimes.net/tgfds.html This one they explain why they thank god for dead soldiers (quick time version did not play fully on my pc)
http://www.thesignsofthetimes.net/giat.html This one is titled “God is Americas terror”
http://www.thesignsofthetimes.net/ghy.html This one is titled “God hates you”

http://www.smellthebrimstone.com/ a wonderfully hateful cartoon.
And of coarse the Wikipedia article for more info

This people are a crazy. Why do they do this? Do they just like to see people die (as said by some children of the church in a sky news report)? Are they trying to put Christianity in a bad light? Attention whores? Or do you think they actually believe what they perch?
What is scary is that they have bible citations to back up there beliefs, the whole can any one find a bible citation contradicts there whole operation? I don’t want to believe the bible tells some Christians to be this crazy.
