Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone
It comes as no surprise that Margie Phelps of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church has already declared the church's intention to picket Steve Jobs's funeral. What is interesting, is that she did so using an iPhone. The 142 characters of wrath read: "Westboro will picket his funeral.He[sic] had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin. MT @AP: Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died at 56."
Ok, I've swung to the other side about WBC. These people are not sincere.
They just want to make headlines, and publicity is the only god that they worship.

All we need are the Patriot Guard in black turtlenecks to even up the numbers.

I'm guessing the Phelps aren't like this, but I remember reading a letter to the editor in some mainstream magazine where the author said something like, "I don't understand how people can act this way. Their souls will be delivered to eternal torment in Hell. We HAVE to keep trying to change them to prevent that!"
Despite religion being mostly a community of mythologists, some people feel that Hell is as real as an oncoming bus while you're standing in the road. You NEED to listen! You need to get out of the road! Can't you see!
It's a little spooky.

They want publicity, yes. Because they want somebody to assault them or violate their civil rights, so they can sue.
This page explains how they work pretty well. Basically, they're all lawyers, and the moment something happens, they sue, and all their paperwork is perfect.
They make a profit by suing counterprotestors
They are media whores and scammers. Don't feed the trolls kids, they'll bite your head off for the main course.
Your reply is suspect because Catholics must defend their faith and honesty is not required by your Church in dealing with outsiders or the flock.
I cite the ONGOING pedophile scandal(s) throughout the Catholic world as examples. There is zero reason to believe your assertion over the FACT of more than ONE BILLION dollars being paid out in settlements/hush money and the FACT of pedos being hidden from the law and the FACT that this was systematically done.
Even the Vatican's most primitive followers are sometimes having second thoughts.

Before anyone mods this Troll, use the search engine of your choice and have a look at Church exploitation and corruption worldwide.
So far only one predator got real justice:
