4. 1951: Phelps made national news for the first
time while attending John Muir college in
California.
He led a campus campaign against
“promiscuous petting, evil
language, profanity, cheating, teachers' filthy
jokes in classrooms and pandering to the lusts of
the flesh”.

because:
We support homosexuality

6. Jews will go to hell.
They killed Jesus Christ
They defied their God; Israel's people
will not be raised into heaven.
Westboro believes that Israel is not the
land of the Jews because in the bible it
states
God gave the land to the seed of
Jacob. He promise that if you
obeyed him he would continue to
bless that land.
God also promised that if you
disobeyed him he would curse
you, and take back the land.
Deuteronomy 29:28

7. Obama; the antichrist
He is leading America to
destruction.
Fag enabler
Mother -“atheist whore”
father – “deadbeat Muslim”
Substitutes his versions of morals in place of the
commandments of god.
Sex and Abortion;
“I want to encourage young people to show more reverence toward sex and
intimacy, and I applaud parents, congregations, and community programs that
transmit that message. But I’m not willing to consign a teenage girl to a lifetime
of struggle because of lack of access to birth control. I want couples to
understand the value of commitment and the sacrifices marriage entails. But I’m
not willing to use the force of law to keep couples together regardless of their
personal circumstances. Perhaps I just find the ways of the human heart too
various, and my own life too imperfect, to believe myself qualified to serve as
anyone’s moral arbiter.”
Quote from Obama, via Westboro website.

8. God hates fags.
All fags are going to hell.
Participating in sexual relations out of the
