What is happening to our church?

Christianity has turned into an ugly thing, hasn't it? From slave owners, to the stories we hear of sexual abuse by a catholic priest, intolerant people, commission Christians and the ever so frightening 'God Warriors'. But there is one man, one man most of us have heard of is Fred Phelps, pastor and founder of Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas. If you have not heard of him, he is the poster boy of hate and intolerance. With a FIERCE and almost incomprehensible hate for homosexual men and women him and his followers protest funerals of homosexual men and women who have been taken by AIDS. But not only do they target homosexual peoples, they also go after American Soldiers and civilians displaying quotes such as..

"Well, we wish it were 33,000 killed, but we are thankful for 33." (In reference to the VTech shootings.)

"The Lord God Almighty killed [the people who died on 9/11], looked at them in the face, laughed and mocked at each one of them as he cast each one of them into hell."

"1.07 billion members of that monstrous machine called the Roman Catholic Church. Every last one of them going to hell."

And some of their infamous signs seen read...

Thank God for Dead Soldiers
AIDS is God's Gift
Heath in Hell (Heath Ledger)
God Hates Obama
God Hates America
God Sent the Shooter
Thank God for 9/11
Pray for More Dead Soldiers

On the churches website (www.godhatesfags.com) they have bible verses to "backup" their extreme hate for homosexuals. Upon researching their supporting evidence that God hates homosexuals, I found no evidence. Except verses saying God loves his children, gave his only son for us, God created man in his own image, his enduring love. Do I have the wrong version of the bible? Perhaps I missed the term God Hates Gays.... In fact there is no reference to the fact God hates anyone. He does state that homosexuality is immoral and not what he intended but in no way shape or form does he claim to hate homosexual men and women.
