Do you know anyone who approves of the Westboro Baptist Church?

Asked by ubersiren (15208points) April 5th, 2009

In case you’re unfamiliar with them, this is their website. They believe that 9/11 was God punishing us for our tolerance of gay people. That sort of thing. They picket funerals of dead soldiers saying it’s God’s blessing as a punishment. They are led by Pastor Fred Phelps and at his side is his nut job daughter, Shirley Phelps. Do other Christians believe they are doing the Bible justice?

Does anyone outside their fellowship think they are right, or normal, or sane? I’d like to hear some arguments supporting their teachings and preachings.
