One day those sick bastards will find out whether there is a Heaven or a Hell, although people of their ilk make earth a Hell.

I don't see them as all that much worse that your more "mainstream" Pat Robertson type Christians. They are all cut from the same cloth.

In a way, Robertson is worse because, while he puts out the same hateful things, he does so in a way which has a veneer of gentility, gentleness and its own internal logic. WBC is so hateful, so crazed and so over the top that most people are turned off in the first 30 seconds.

Yep. Similar message, more savvy delivery. "GOD HATES FAGS!!!" vs. "....we now turn to the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 18......".

Never thought of it that way, but you're right.
They both have the same agenda of hate.
The Pat Robertson types just have a slicker sales pitch for it.

Whilst we see the usual suspects knocking people of faith, let me clue you in on something. The WBC does Biblical Christians no favors whatsoever.

WTF is a "Biblical Christian"? Are they any more Christian than say...Methodists? How about Catholics?

Glad you asked. Biblical (aka Evangelical) Christians are those who recognize that religion, good works, philosophy, etc. will never save mankind from their sinful, damaged nature. Only through a living vital relationship with Christ can do that.

I know very well what 'evengelistas' are, usually narrow minded, holier than thou types, in my experience. Looks like you are dodging the question. So, once again, no heaven for Methodists and Catholics?
