Showing their truly hateful colors, here is a video of some members of the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at the gay marriage celebration in San Francisco. At least they aren't protesting at a funeral this time. Plus I love the guys chanting "We're getting married."
If you can't see the video, you can go to it here.
I don't understand how some people can have such hate for others, especially in the name of a loving god. How can love and commitment be so wrong? Don't the Westboro Baptist Church people know that they are doing more harm than good? Not only are they driving people away from belief in their god, but they are tarnishing Christians everywhere.
Someone told me once that the Westboro Baptist Church protests at places like funerals, parades, and schools (they went to my brother's school once) in order to incite violence against themselves. Once someone punches them, as I'm sure plenty of people do, the 'church' sues. This is how they make money.
So if you are ever unlucky enough to be faced with these people do everything you can to avoid hurting them, no matter how much you want to. It would only help them in the end. Instead why don't we give them some food and water, after all it would be like heaping coals on their head (Proverbs 25:21-22). Of course I bet they wouldn't get the irony of their queer atheist enemy knowing the bible better than they do.
