How do you handle the extreme use of freedom of speech that churches like Westboro Baptist Church demonstrate? Is there a line that shouldn't be crossed? Does anyone have an idea where they are coming from with the nature of the signs and protests?

I think that churches that hate aren't churches at all. religions don't preach hate. I think that all churches that engage in political activities should be taxed.

Unfortunately, many are not very good at making sure that their hate for sin is not hate for the sinner.
And there is also a prevailing sentiment that disagreement has to mean hate.

I can't say I'm all that surprised, that's why I'm not a Religionist. Is just like to point out though, if that's the Westborough Baptist bunch, They're not really a legitimate Church and are not, in any way associated with the Baptists

Westborough is a repulsive pile of humanity but they are as legitimate church as any other.

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
