Westboro Baptist Church said that the bombings during the Boston Marathon were sent by God as punishment for same-sex marriage and that members would definitely show up at funerals to protest.
The group posted the message on its Twitter site, with a headline that read, “Thank God for the Boston marathon bombs.”
The release continued: “WBC to picket the funeral of those killed by the bombing in Boston. … The federal government is classifying the bombs as a terrorist attack, but say it’s unclear if it’s of a domestic or foreign nature. Here’s a hint — God sent the bombs! How many more terrifying ways will you have the Lord injure and kill your fellow countrymen because you insist on nation-dooming filthy fag marriage?!”

Psychopaths
I’d love to have a front row cloud when these folks meet their maker.
Please, media, stop calling these deranged individuals a ‘church’.
Can we get the media to please just stop giving these idiots the free PR?
Truly Satanic. It gives the MSM endless opportunities to condemn the religious right, and it gives the Christian haters endless opportunities to turn people against Christianity.
Nest of rattlers.
How appropriate is it that the zip code for the Westboro Baptist Church starts with ‘666’?
You've got that right.
I like to think of God being something akin to infinity ... beyond man's comprehension.
How can these perverts call themselves "Baptists" or even Christians?
I don't remember Jesus or the apostles. rejoicing at anybody's death.
From Luke 9:52b-56 we read:
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
And they went to another village.
Never happen. These guys are pure gold to the Left.
That is Not a church. What we see is a satanic cult.
The image looks like Barney Frank. (sorry)
Hmmm.
There is a resemblance, but I am not certain that I would point this out to him face to face, although I’m pretty sure that the Westboro psychopaths would, and that I would like to see :D
Doing the devil’s work.
I wish the media would stop reporting on them. They are media whores. If we all ignore them eventually they will go away.
The media loves this group; “every Bible believing Christian are like these people” meme never gets old.
Matthew 7:
Judging Others
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Romans 13-
Fulfilling the Law Through Love
8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
