The westboro "babtist church" is a scam. They harass people who have lost aloved one until they get attacked, then they sue because they are protected under the first amendment. That's how they get their money. I honestly don't even think they believe. what they preach.
It's 100% like America today and everything we discuss.
The followers follow due to lack of attention and FEAR. They are so scared they will go to hell they will repeat their core beliefs and "stand by god". Sadly, their beliefs are driven by a 1% family of lawyers that profit off of their followers.
I CONSTANTLY think "Republicans/Democrats/Libertarians/Tea Partiers
CANT believe what they preach."
Truth is, not many people live for themselves and/or use their own brain to decide what is right or wrong.
