Earlier quoted context omitted.

I always thought of them more as attention whores than a real hate group. Why do they only show up whenever there's already massive media attention? Sure, they hate gays, but what does that have to do with any of their protests? Either they keep happening to genuinely believe that the latest tragedy is what's most offensive to God or they just love being in the spotlight and poking people in the eye and use religion…

> Why do they only show up whenever there's already massive media attention? Sure, they hate gays, but what does that have to do with any of their protests? The usual: money. They make $$$$ from suing people who illegally block their protests. They probably don't hate gays at all. More likely it's a family business.

There was someone who was with the WBC on Reddit doing an IAMA earlier. According to him, this is just a myth. These people really do believe it what they are preaching. They don't even earn that much from suing people.

I'm glad they are back. We need more people to stand up to religious fanatic hate groups like the Westboro Baptist morons.

"Hate group under the guise of religion." Fixed that for you. Sorry, but I've got no patience for religion-bashing on HN.

There is a correlation between being very religious and being a criminal.

Not that it implies causation but food for thought.
