WBCA

As in any other church this one is ripe with hypocrisy. Just look at its founder Fred Phelps; a man, who spouts racist propaganda and pickets against homosexuals yet who has received awards from anti-defamation groups such as the NAACP.

I would never want to sit down and talk to anyone in this group. For the mere fact that ignorance breeds more ignorance and I would not be able to have a civil or educated dialogue with any of its members. I don’t necessarily believe in changing anyone’s world views but for the mere fact that I don’t agree with their belief system and find many of their public acts abhorrent means that I would not even be able to give them one ounce of my attention.

I am not a religious person I do not go to church or read the bible or say prayers but I don’t believe that God is a hate monger. Everything I do know about the lord is that he loves everyone, he created us all in his image, and that as long as you don’t break any of the ten commandments you have a great shot of winding up in heaven.

However, the churches, in an effort to further their own agenda twist bible stories and tragedies into whatever balloon animal works for them. Into whatever they believe their followers will swallow – they spoon feed their congregations little morsels of hate and bile and prejudice until soon enough these people are marring soldier’s funerals, bombing abortion clinics, and brainwashing independent thought.
