Are the Westboro Baptist Church people for real?

Yes, I would say they are.

Christian (noun)- a person who has received Christian baptism OR is a believer in Jesus Christ and His teachings.

Or a more biblical definition:

Christian- person who has put faith and trust in the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His death on the cross as payment for sins and His resurrection on the third day.

IMO, anyone who accepts the fact that Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross to pay for our sins and that he rose from the dead 3 days later and who makes an earnest effort to follow His teachings is a Christian.

I'd assume that's the conventional meaning myself, I was a bit puzzled the first time that appreciation was challenged. Thanks for your reply 👆

Let me answer the remainder of your first post here to me. These questions strike me as too important to do otherwise.

... "source" in the link is obviously biased just like you are.

I am biased in one way in discussions like this, and that is, never having seen it fail, I'm inclined to believe the King James Version of the Bible is trustworthy, and increasingly, I'm suspecting, accurate in what it describes. Certainly it's prediction that people would exchange natural desires and persecute ...
well, let's just say many Bible passages seem far more resonant now than they did a decade ago.

Regarding the source of that information, I have no idea why you put "source" in quotes. I did not write that article. Neither, to the best of my knowledge, do I have any affiliation or prior contact with that author. I'm interested in knowing if you have an actual response to any of the things he wrote. I'd be more than willing to discuss those sub-topics with you if you do. I'm also curious to know what kind of source you'd consider neutral or non-biased in a discussion on religious matters. I don't think true neutrality exists where such is the subject. I'm wondering what proof of the opposite COULD look like, let alone whether you could relate it here.

Alright, if you want to get into that sort of thing, take it t the religion area.

But bluewaterrider, please be very cautious in future about how you throw around a fringe opinion saying masses of people, including many here, have no right to call themselves Christians.

Post removed, as re: above.

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.

I just learned today that Husband 2/4 is her first cousin! Just when you thought she could not be any more of a moral failure.

Did she have any children with him?

Also, I wasn't aware that her religion dictates that she is committing adultery if she marries any man save her first husband. She is a hypocrite assuming that is true. 👆
