Westboro Baptist Church

"The Westboro Baptist Church is a Baptist church which is known for its hate speech, especially against the LGBTQ+ community, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Muslims, Jews, American soldiers and politicians(and probably any other kind of soldier or politicians)."

So, yeah. Okay, these people express their hate on LGBTQ+( which I understand because the WBC are really religious so that community is like a big no no to them), orthodox Christians/Muslims/Jews(I understand why they hate them because they believe their religion is the purest and only one), and soldiers and politicians(yeah, they believe war is stupid and a sin, and honestly, who likes politicians). There reasons to hate are pretty easy to see, but to hate on Catholics? Really? Are you gonna go there? Catholics are like number two in the Christian religion. Like, c'mon. That's like if a freshman tried to harass their junior drum major. Now, I may have taken that bit to heart more than the others, mostly because despite me being me, I still do consider myself part of Catholicism. I may not consider myself A Catholic, but I've Catholic roots, so Imma take that to heart. 

So, I don't necessarily hate. If I say I hate something/someone, it's either me being dramatic to get a laugh out of someone or I'm being sarcastic. Life is too stressful to add hate into the mix. I like to keep hate out of the mix because it's a waste of energy to focus on hating anything. But, I do dislike. Dislike is what it is, not liking something without loving it. You either dislike, like or love, well I do anyways. So, like I said, I don't hate. These people man, they hate so much and I don't know why. How can so much hate become a religion that actually has been accepted, their church honestly is not even a church. They are more like a cult. It saddens me too because people like them give queer and atheists the wrong idea of God, in my opinion.

My God, which I might explain what he is to me more in depth in a different part, does not hate. He does not dislike too often either. He loves, he is filled with a lot of love, so much love. He gives hope, and he gives truth, even if that truth is a horrible nasty truth. My God that I pray to, when I feel the need to pray, loves the queer, the Jews, the Muslims, the atheists, the scientists, he loves all. And he doesn't strike down a rapist. He doesn't kill, he let's the law or the common good imprison the rapist, so the rapist can reflect on his crime, and be left with himself only to see happiness when h-God, I actually sound like a person who is trying to convince themselves of something. Imma stop here.
