The documentary that I watched was called the “Fall from
Grace”. This documentary is on the Westboro Baptist Church. I had heard a lot
about this church in the news and just in conversation with people but I had
never actually watched the video itself. The people that make up this church
are actually all members of one family. They believe that our country is doomed
by God and that they are the only ones that are living right by Gods view. They
protest constantly against gays and soldiers. The video actually infuriated me
because it is so mind-numbing to try to wrap my head around what they believe.
It doesn’t make sense to me how a group of people can be so hypocritical and
ignore different parts of the bible. They tend to take the parts of the bible
that they can twist into their own words and their own view to their advantage.
They have participated in protests all around the world. They will go to
different churches and funerals but especially military funerals. I think that
this is the most disrespectful thing ever. Just because that this group of
people does not believe in war does not mean that it is okay to disrupt a
funeral. It hurts my heart for the families of those that funerals get
protested. That is a very sad time for these families already and it is only
made worse by the protestors. It also hurts my heart to see the young children
in the Westboro Church family that are so brain washed and refer to the gays in
America as Fags and beasts and Bastards that are ruining the world. The signs
that they protest with that say “Thank God For Dead Soldiers”, and other things
along this line. That is absolutely sickening. I can’t even put into words how
frustrated it makes me that they can be so wrong and that they can be so
hypocritical and call themselves Christians.
