Unstable People
While members of an anti-American and anti-homosexual group from Kansas protested outside six Dover houses of worship on Sunday, church leaders emphasized tolerance to their congregations.
Members of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church protested outside Christ Episcopal Church, Holy Cross Catholic Church, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Whatcoat Methodist Church, First Southern Baptist Church, and the Presbyterian Church of Dover.
The group targeted the churches for being tolerant of homosexuals.
Inside the churches, however, the messages were ones of love and acceptance for all people on Earth.
The Rev. David Brumbaugh, pastor at Presbyterian Church of Dover, preached tolerance throughout the Sunday morning service. He called statements made by the protesters, who were in front of his church from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., “nasty” and “offensive.” (source)
You guessed it. The demonstrators are part of the Topeka, Kansas based Westboro Baptist Church. I never really take these people seriously anymore. I believe they do more for our community than anything else. Let people see the hatred that is out there. I wonder though, do they really understand how they are viewed to the public. Honestly, it’s hard for me to get upset with them because I believe that they are half way to being mentally unstable.

Exactly. All they want is attention. The weird thing is that 99% of the Westboro Church membership consists of Fred Phelps' family - his children and their grand children. It's pretty sad really. They used to make their living picketing the funerals of gay men, but recently are venturing out to anyone who supports gay people in any way, whether it be a church that will honor civil marriage, or a company that does not discriminate against their gay employees.
But that sign, "Thank God for 9/11" should just piss everyone off. Some people amaze me.
Wouldnt you like to reach out and touch this silly bitch,but then again people who spread hate like to get attention, why else would a mature person stand with a sign filled with hate for the world to see,if they are so anti american then get a oneway ticket the hell out of here.
