As a native Kansan who heard about him for years, I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for this fool.

Lived in Topeka for years. I hope there are picket lines for his funeral.

I volunteer to carry a "God Hates Fred" sign.

A life wasted, spent in hate and bringing pain to those already suffering, and all done in the name of God.

Barry, I respectfully disagree. Although I am not a Baptist, this is not a Baptist church. It is a family consumed with hate calling itself a Baptist church. Just google; "Is the Westboro Baptist church a real church."


It isn't. I am not saying that all Christians are good or all Baptists are good but this hatred is not what the Baptists I know stand for.

The name of God is the thing that really bugs me. Nobody speaks for God except God. I am deeply religious but do not see any religious books as being his word as people have put their spin on them for as long as their have been Holy Books and usually for evil ends. Of course, my saying something like this almost anywhere before 1500 or so would have had me impaled, burnt at the stake, or at least ostracized.
