Whatever else it may involve, however, any separation from the
real man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, any dissolving
of his historical person and gospel in theological abstraction, stultifies and nullifies the true
purpose of the Christian
church.
Westboro Baptist is not a
real church, they are hiding behind the appearance
of an organized
church, but there are no members besides Fred Phelps family, they do not have a place
of worship, their sole
purpose is to protest at funerals,
of gay people and members
of the military, which is not protected by the first amendment, it is harassment
of people on the worst day
of their lives, when they have to bury a loved one.
