I didn't take these photos, but they are too funny not to share. The Westboro Baptist Church stands for everything that is horrible in the world right now—hatred, intolerance, racism, homophobia. They readily abuse the message of peace found in The Bible to promote their narrow-minded (too soft of a word, I know) views. They are a blight on our culture and our society.

It is fantastic of these students to protest the protesters.

I mean, "God Hates Fags"? Are you serious? Have you even READ The Bible?
