The Westboro Baptist Church

Do you believe they're acting in good faith? Do they truely believe what they say?

Do you support their right to do what they do?

I, personally, detest them. But looking into it, they're also not the KKK, in that they've never been violent, and obey all laws during their protests. In most cases, the grieving never even see them, as they're picketing some distance away, out of sight. They only find out from the television broadcasts (Which is certainly still very painful to see.)

Fred Phelps, Terry A Davis, and Francis E. Dec Esq. are the Holy Trinity reincarnated on Earth. We never take their names in vain.

I think they are pieces of shit, but I also think they truly believe what they say.

Still the single greatest line ever spoken in all human existence. YOU'RE GONNA EAT YOUR BABIES!!!

I think they believe what they say.

I also support their right to do what they do, even though I find them detestable.

As a Christian I actually probably find them more reprehensible than the average person, because not only do I look at them and think "oh their views and behavior are utterly reprehensible," but I also have to look at them and realize "Oh ****, some people are going to associate me with them and go 'SeE tHiS Is WhAt alL cHrIStIanS aRe lIkE!!!'"

These lunatics are extremely Old Testament Bible thumpers who preach fire and brimstone as opposed to the New Testament teachings of Jesus Christ.

More importantly, they’re attention whores. “Look at me! I’m protesting!”

They have a right to their beliefs, but I still would like to shit in a bucket and fling my feces at them.

hmm

Yup. Agreed. And I nominate you to maintain and use that bucket. I'll bring you Taco Bell to keep the volume going in the bucket.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being a good person.

They're a 1.

What? No way!!!

A 4. 5 is neutral and causes no harm but causes no good. Karmic or actual.

4 causes a bit of harm.

1 is mass genocide.

What kind of scale you using, bruh?

My conception is that there are three moral boundaries that can be breached, each justifying different levels of response.

The first moral boundary is transgressed by behavior I would consider immoral, but isn't directly impacting someone else. So for instance, me being a lazy shit and not keeping up with my responsibilities as a student as well as I should be would fall into this category.

The second moral boundary is transgressed by directly negatively impacting someone else's life intentionally, but not an act of violence. That would be what these assholes are doing.

The third moral boundary is crossed by acts of violence that constitute the violation of rights.

Scale of bad person to good person. people who commit mass genocide or are saints belong on a completely different list

Mother Theresa managed to transcend lists and somehow be a saint and a fu¢king horrible ¢unt at the same time.

And that my friends is the beauty of this country. You are given the right to say what you believe, and I’ll allow it, but I sure as hell doesn’t have to listen to your bullshits.

That’s why I think when you shut someone down from speaking because you disagrees with them, you only make them martyr.

The worst thing people could do to them is to stop giving them the attention they desperately seek. Though I’ve not heard much out of them since not long after Fred died. But I imagine they’re still religious-trolling funerals and whatnot.

They are scum

They’re deplorables, no doubt there. But attention is their fuel.

Yes it is

Sounds just like the Satanists looking attention

to be fair to silent. Id argue that if they had the ability to, alot of them would commit mass genocide. So from a good/bad morality view they're not too much better imho.
