But all it does is emboldens her.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I wouldn't consider his religion, a bad religion. However, he does impose all of his beliefs on other people so you are right to say that Hannity should apply the words he is speaking to himself.

He's too busy interrupting people to hear anything.

In reality the man is little more than Rush Limbaugh without the humor.

They don't believe in converting people. They're Calvinists, and believe that basically except for everyone except for the members of their cult... Sorry... 'Religion' is going to hell automatically. That's why they're all inbred.

They don't just picket the funerals of soldiers. They've also picketed the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and the funerals of hate crime victims.

There's no question that the Westboro Baptist folks are getting more attention than they deserve.

They hate everybody but themselves. They picket and protest any random thing they can think of. They are an embarrasment to themselves and to Christianity in general.

I'm tired of seeing them, of hearing about them and talking about them. The best thing that everyone could do is to just ignore them. Eventually they'll throw such a fit at being ignored that they'll do something REALLY stupid - and illegal - and the prosecution can begin.
