Westboro Baptist Church... BULLIES?

When someone thinks of a church today they think of a peaceful safe place to go and worship not a dangerous place that bullies people. If the Westboro Baptist Church is really a church can they be bullies too? In my opinion and and many other peoples eyes yes they can be bullies.
The Westboro Baptist Church or the WBC claims to be an Old School Baptist Church that lives according to the Bible, but I would like to question if what anything they're doing is moral. This church goes around picketing at American soldiers, who bravely fought and died in The War on Terror, funerals. They carry signs saying Thank God for Dead Soldiers and God Hates Fags. I'm willing to say that what they are doing is immoral and goes against human dignity that every human has. In Christianity we learn to be charitable love our neighbor as we love ourselves and that Jesus died for everybody. The WBC shouldn't be protesting against soldiers they should be thanking them for protecting us and they shouldn't persecute the homosexual community either.
As you can see along with protesting against the soldiers the WBC also protests against homosexuality. America is not a Catholic nation and we have the freedom of religion here. It is wrong for the WBC to try the blame the homosexual community and persecute them for making that choice. It is there decision to live that way and if it makes them happy we do not have the right to tell them that it is not okay or wrong to be a homosexual.For more information about this awful group visit there website and see how mean and terrible they are to people that are not like them.
