More crass than Scientology

[erol_otus]

After a long wikipedia trail, I ended up on this site:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church

The quotes from the sermons are especially scary (i.e. "All ye having business before this honorable [Supreme] Court draw nigh, give your attention and ye shall be heard. No, no. Draw nigh and bend over. They're gonna rape you up the butt."). The photo featuring a smiling woman holding a sign that reads "Thank God for dead miners" is also troubling. And who could forget the picketing of Fred Rogers grave for no reason, summed up nicely by this sentence in the article: "Though Rogers was not known to have made any statements supporting homosexuality either, his failure to condemn it was sufficient to earn the enmity of the church."

In any case, I don't understand how these people can take themselves seriously.

I read the topic and it made me think about how I drove past a church of Scientology a few days ago, but Tom Cruise was nowhere in sight.

Im not sure what street it was on but I was by Bell Middle School when I saw it. Bell is right by Hamilton High School. It was about a 2 blocks past Bell and across the street.
