I was looking at a clip last night, where a reporter speaks with a lady from the Westboro Baptist Church. I would like to know everyones opinion on them, preferably christians. Do you think that WBC is portraying a Christian image?

they are the group that go around protesting at fallen soldiers funerals.

They came here a few months ago to protest one of Lubbock's fallen soldiers. The bikers (I forget their name) that follow them around or organize around them were there too. The bikers have the right idea I think - they rev their bikes and make all kinds of noise to drown out those hatemongers. A newsperson spoke with members of the fallen soldiers family the next day and they said they really appreciated the bikers doing that. The last thing they wanted to hear while trying to grieve over their son was these WBC people cheering.
Personally I think these WBC people need to go home. They are NOT doing what Jesus would do if He were here.

If I said what I truly, honestly felt about them here-----Yahoo Answers would wonderful, and perfectly legitimate, grounds to ban me for LIFE! The keyboard would probably melt....
They're sad, sick, hate-filled people (have been tracking them for a while), and can't imagine how they manage to live in that unspeakable bile of ugliness of spirit.
I have to feel sorry for Christian folk of good will and intentions....imagine having someone like the WBCs, accidentally thought to be "on your side".

I just did a little research about them online. It doesn't appear that they are like any Christians I know. They are not following God's way. They are acting on their own. God is loving and compassionate. God cares and WBC is not showing God's love.

These are marginally certifiable 'wack-jobs' led by a truly certifiable 'wack-job'.
WBC - Otherwise known as the Gospel according to Fred.

maybe it would help u and us to answer easier, if u were to give more details? not everyone watches tv even if they're in the same country as u, please realise that.
edit:
the website address u gave and what they mentioned in their web certainly didnt seem christian in any sense(except the Bible verses, of course). if its a fake website, its downright despicable.
if its really their website, they really remind me of pharisees.

I'm not a Christian, but I think they are repulsive.

proboblaly the closest thing to a "true" christian. your god gives you commandments to kill certain peoples and, were it not for the law, they would most likely be doing it.
