Westboro Baptist (Church, aka 'Cult') distorted messages

Westboro Baptist Church known for military funeral protests to picket in Flint | Flint News – - MLive.com.

When your message is distorted by the receiver…there’s not much you can do. Filmmaker Mike Ramsdell covered members of the inflammatory, anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in his powerful documentary, The Anatomy of Hate: A Dialogue to Hope. The film screening at the Kettering International Film Festival in Flint, Michigan has sparked a protest by members of the church. One member wrote a long, rambling, hate-filled op-ed email to the local paper.

The saddest part of this current incident may be that the members of this cult group are not protesting the film, but instead they are using the screening as a platform to spread their vitriolic feelings about the LGBT community.

I support Ramsdell and his position of listening then dialoguing to promote peace and harmony. But honestly, it’s hard to listen to this kind of crap. Sorry for the judgment.
