Are the Westboro Baptist Church people for real?

This is related to the situation of Kim Davis, the Kentucky court clerk who tried to prevent gay marriages and is now sitting in jail. It seems that the Westboro people have a deep hatred for Kim Davis. They said the following on their Twitter account:

We saw your letter, #KimDavis. Here's our open letter to you --

#stopyouradultery!

#honoryouroath!

#repentorperish!

Apparently the WBC people are outraged over Kim's four marriages to three different men. Strangely, they are also upset over her violation of her oath.

So what do you think? Is WBC sincere in their preachings or not? I keep vacillating between the two poles but it seems to me that they're as crazy as they seem and they're not faking it.

Also, they've previously supported Chick-Fil-A over its president's controversial remarks about gay marriage but I don't think that Dan Cathy wants their help.

They're consistent. They don't turn a blind eye towards Kim Davis' transgressions against their religious beliefs, so in this case at least they are certainly not hypocrites.

I am not surprised.

The Westboro Baptist Church has no desire to court allies, they're like the McPoyles from It's Always Sunny--content to be a weird cesspool of strange ideas and inbreeding.

Okay hold on a second, she's been married 4 times, but only to 3 different men. Soo..she got married to a guy, divorced him, and then decided to get married to him again? This is the same woman going to jail to honor her Christian values?

Absolutely correct! A truly conservative Christian would have no alternative to believing that Jesus unmistakeably condemned divorce. That's because Jesus said so and in clear verse, not through some parable.

Matthew 19 NIV: 3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Mark 10 NIV: 11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”

Luke 16:18(NIV): who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Adultery is punishable by death under old laws. So they are right in pointing that the woman is adulterous.

However, present day Christians don't care for old laws. They are supposed to take Jesus sayings seriously and they don't.

Which is another weird thing, why be a Christian and then ignore the teachings of one of THE major figures of the religion?

Hypocrites exist in all forms of life but most people don't make sweeping generalizations.

I wonder how long she will sit in jail before this is over?

I'm glad you're lumping all the Christians together based on one lunatic fringe group (wwe reference), but it makes your point even more ignorant.

Your posts typically sound more seething crazy then the WBC.

And your posts show nothing but emotional bias towards the religious groups. It's both sad and amusing.

I don't know, I think you are giving people too much credit.

Like, people make sweeping generalizations all the time...I literally just did in my generalization about people....

I don't generally generalize the general populace, but they are generally generic people.

Generally speaking, of course.

Husband 1 divorced her because she was pregnant with twins from Husband 3. She then married Husband 2, who adopted the aforementioned twins. When she and Husband 2 divorced, she married Husband 3, who is the father of the twins. When she and Husband 3 divorced, she remarried Husband 2. Because Jesus.

Wait so not only has she gotten divorced, but she is a skanky ass cheater as well. What a piece of sh*t. I'm guessing her children have also had a whole lot of "uncles" over the years.

Lets just fire this piece of trash and be done with it. Changes need to be made if we can't fire an elected official for refusing to do her job. It just makes the country look insane if we are saying "we can't fire her for not doing her job" but we can put her in prison for not doing her job. Which means we'd rather throw away tax dollars imprisoning this woman as opposed to firing her. No wonder Iran thinks they could defeat us.

1. This country IS insane. If Kim Davis is fired, it'll still BE insane. The two phenomena are mutually exclusive.

2. The"truly conservative Christians" you or someone else mentioned won't be accepting of an NIV interpretation of the Bible. There are differences between the two texts that often change the meaning of entire passages. Note that I am NOT saying there is a significant difference between accepted KJV and NIV for what you quoted in this particular thread.

3. Kim Davis's now well-known affairs occurred BEFORE her 2011 conversion. The last being apparently 2 years prior, minimum, at least according to Wikipedia:

Davis has been married four times to three different men.[4] The first three marriages ended in divorce in 1994, 2006, and 2008. She is the mother of twins, who were born five months after her divorce from her first husband. Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, who were adopted by her second husband, Joe, who is also her fourth and current husband.[27]

4. Iran is insane, too, in case you were wondering.
