A church in Topeka, Kansas. Their basic philosophy is that god hates everyone but them for supporting the homosexual community. They "rejoice" in anything and everything bad that happens, because they believe that it is the "Wrath of God" condemning people for supporting the LGBTQ community. They picket soldier funerals, other churches, gay pride parades, concerts that support anything they're against (everything but themselves), and many other things. They hold signs saying "god hates fags", "god hates America", "thank god for std's", "fag troops", "thank god for dead soldiers", etc. Most of the members (about 70) are family. They are hated by most of America and even their own state. Their pastor, Fred Phelps, abandoned and kicked out one of his own daughters for growing up and realizing she disagreed with the church. Strangely enough, Fred Phelps was denounced and rejected by Westboro Baptist Church before his recent passing. No comment has been made as to why.
Westboro Baptist Church is very angry and hateful

A building full of lowlife hypocrites that fill their time by celebrating people's deaths because they believe that they are the only ones who understand the Bible. They think that the 9-11 disaster was the result of too many gay people. How stupid could you get? The amount of hypocrisy and ignorance they display in a day is too much for one person to take in a whole year!
Westboro Baptist Church stole some of my faith in humanity today.

a large church that confuses most of the people who see it. Unknown to most of these people, large churches are ALL OVER the united states, with 20-25 churches this size in Atlanta alone.
"Bible church" is not a denomination, and as such mclean bible church answers to no church body on policy but believes in the bible alone as the source of "church polcy"
why does mclean bible church have video games and a gym in church? does that still count as church?
If it teaches the word of God, and if Jesus is the focus, then why not use video games to attract people who might otherwise not come?
who says church has to be boring?

For all of you conservatives who still use that lame argument that the exact phrase "separation of church and state" must be present in the Constitution in order for the principle in and of itself to exist, I guess at the same token we don't have the "right to a fair trial." Neither do we have the "right to free speech." Oh, and forget about the "right to warranted search and seizures." That said, it simpy DOESNโT MATTER if the EXACT phrase โseparation of church and stateโ appears in the Constitution or not. Separation of church and state is IMPLIED -- and one doesnโt even have to look in the First Amendment for it (Iโm not even addressing precedent either here, i.e. Lemon vs. Kurtzman).
Please refer to Article VI, Section III of the unamended Constitution: โbut no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.โ Joseph Story comments:
โThe remaining part of the clause declares, that 'no religious test shall ever be required, as a qualification to any office or public trust, under the United States.' This clause is not introduced merely for the purpose of satisfying the scruples of many respectable persons, who feel an invincible repugnance to any test or affirmation. It had a higher object: to cut off forever every pretence of any alliance between church and state in the national government. The framers of the constitution were fully sensible of the dangers from this source, marked out in history of other ages and countries; and not wholly unknown to our own. They knew, that bigotry was unceasingly vigilant in its own stratagems, to secure to itself an exclusive ascendancy over the human mind; and that intolerance was ever ready to arm itself with all the terrors of civil power to exterminate those, who doubted its dogmas, or resisted its infallibility.โ
