Fire breaks out at 'God Hates Fags' church

Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, known for its vocal condemnations of homosexuality, website GodHatesFags.com and picketing of gay pride parades and funerals, has sustained thousands of dollars in damage after a fire early Saturday morning. Impromptu protest followed as firefighters carried out their response.

"None of what they do is going to stop us from delivering our message," said church counsel Shirley Phelps-Roper of any "cowards" that would have set the fire on purpose, also saying that it was the "most aggressive act" towards the Phelps family to date.

4. "Delivering our message" = promoting and inciting hatred toward your fellow men.

7. The Phelps Family is the perfect example of what happens when you inbreed too much.
People come out all screwed up, whacked out, and crazy as hell.

I can't imagine living every day with that much hatred for others in your heart.

misguided but the last thing they need is even more publicity to spread their message of hate.

(snip)
...a neighbor is suspicious that the fire is a hoax meant to intimidate her into giving up her property. "They keep claiming that this property is theirs, and it is not theirs," said 91-year-old Leona McQueen. "They keep wanting to buy me, but I don't want to sell it. I don't know if whether they are trying to push me out."
(snip)

Just sayin'. Wouldn't put it past them to pull that kind of shit.
