This group is as "typical Christian" as Al-Qaeda are "typically Muslim".

These are hate-filled people, who think the only viewpoint that counts is theirs, and all others are irrelevant and/or evil.

If there is a God, I hope he is at the Pearly Gates when this poisonous women, and her ilk, get there; I hope he says "sorry, not today - this place is for people who cared for others".

A bit of info on her (set up by her father) church
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church
"The church bases much of its work around the belief that "God hates fags" (its best known slogan and the address of its primary website) and expresses the opinion, based on its Biblical exegesis, that nearly every tragedy in the world is linked to homosexuality (specifically society's increasing tolerance and acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people). It believes God hates homosexuals above all other kinds of "sinners"[4] and that homosexuality should be criminalized, punishable by the death penalty.[5] In addition to its anti-homosexual stance, the church also possesses a strong anti-Catholic, anti-American, and anti-Semitic stance, picketing Holocaust Memorials in an attempt to downplay the severity of the event, and holding the belief that "Jews killed Christ."[6]
Not only is Westboro opposed by supporters of gay rights, but most other Christian groups (including those who agree with Westboro that homosexuality is a sin) oppose Westboro's theology and practice, believing it to be incompatible with authentic Christian teachings.[7]"
Nice!

"According to Shirley Phelps Roper, the church has "not quite 100" members, "about 80%" of whom are related to Phelps through blood or marriage[6]. A compilation of the names of Phelps' grandchildren and great-grand-children, combined with his nine "loyal" children and their spouses, though, numbers 90, automatically eschewing the 80% estimate"
Can anyone else hear "Duelling Banjos" playing faintly in the background?

Another quote from these nutters -
" Their God is an angry God, the God who, they believe, struck down the World Trade Center as a warning of things to come. One of their placards read "Thank God for 9/11.""

""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". "

"Thank God for IEDs [improvised explosive devices] "

ps - someone has set up a spoof myspace site for her - amusing.
