"Hello? Do you any of you even understand what "God" is about? I guess we all have our own understanding, to me he is about forgiving and compassion. God is not a vindictive being, he is full of compassion and love. Perhaps you may think about filling your own hearts with such."
The Westboro group is all about hate. In fact, I saw a photograph of them picketing with a sign upon which was written "God hates you." That's not the God about Whom I was taught, nor Whom I worship.
Their warped and twisted view of the Almighty has NEVER won any person to the LORD. Their venomous spewing poisons the hearts and minds of the gullible, easily manipulated, and intellectually lazy. The LORD has allowed them to strongly believe their delusion.
"Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; (that is), the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, [b]because they did not receive the love of the truth [/b]{emphasis added}[/i] so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.
