During one of our masses, the father said that anyone who does not belong to this church, are gay, don't come to church on a regular basis, or anyone who was different in that matter were not allowed here. I was furious, I have plenty of friends who are different religions, gay, and I personally believe that we could pray from home so I decided I wasn't gonna go except for Christmas and Easter to please my grandma.
I know one of my friends religions belief in eternal families and they find our wedding vows "until death do you part" strange. To them that statement means that we don't have an eternal family or won't be together once we die, which is not what we believe at all.
Why do we have to hate others because they are different or have different views. Now this does NOT mean i agree with what the Westboro Baptist Church does, absolutely not. I was horrified that those little kids were holding the signs, being forced to participate because if they wouldn't I can only imagine what would happen to them. They might've been disowned then, its bad enough that they do that to those who change their hearts later. This next comic slightly describes how I felt during the video.

And this next one is for comic relief and I truly believe that they should change their thinking, or just keep their thoughts to themselves.

I totally agree with your last point about the children. Children tends to have the same values and beliefs as their parents. So I think the WBC are doing doing more harm than good by teaching their children these despicable values and beliefs. The cycle will just go on and on.
