Run by Fred Phelps, added extra example of hate and source
'''Westboro Baptist Church''' is a cult run by extremest baptists. Although the church affiliates as being baptists, they are not affiliated with the Baptist church. The church's members are almost entirely family members and are infamous for their protests and pickets at the funerals of soldiers who died in the line of duty, where they take the opportunity to denounce what they consider to be America's acceptance of [[homosexuality]]. The name of their [[website]], which contains a vulgar word, reflects this. Their antics are denounced across almost all spectra of political and religious thought. Their motto is "God Hates Fags".

There are many groups that parody it. For instance, in England, there is a group with the motto "God Hates Fags" with fake bible quotes on their page saying that smoking is bad for your health. There is also a group called "God Hates Figs", pointing out the scene in the bible where Jesus destroys a fig tree.
Their hatred, and seeking of publicity, goes beyond homosexuality. They also protested the [[Pope]]'s visit, calling him the [[anti-Christ]].<ref>http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/default.asp</ref>
