Re: Westboro Baptist Church - utterly crazy, or greatest trolls ever?
It's all a joke, they're as serious as Gamefaq's "Dark Atheist" guys.

So I wouldn't recommend prying that that much. :inquisitive:
It does not seem to be that many Swedes in Bergen, I don't seem to hear about them anyway.. In Oslo on the other hand.. I think I heard more Swedish than Norwegian while I was in the army there.. (As an example, all five of the serving staff at my hideaway resturant from the camp were Swedish..)
Re: Westboro Baptist Church - utterly crazy, or greatest trolls ever?
They are crazy but not "utterly" crazy. Also, round 10-12 years ago they didn't used to be as crazy as they are nowadays. They seem to have got progressively more crazy over the years.
The thing is, a lot of the stuff what they says is indeed biblically-based and supported by the Bible. They just add a bit too much of their own personal craziness on top of it.
Many "mainstream Churches" are nowadays becoming every bit as crazy as Westboro Baptist is, just on the other side of the spectrum. Mainstream Churches are for the most part claiming that what the Bible (or good portions thereof) says is a lie. According to the Bible, that is apostasy and the dawning of apostate Churches as described in the Bible. Apostate Churches are no better in God's eyes than Westboro Baptist is.
The point is, many mainstream Churches need to own up to their own apostasy & stop preaching it, and are every bit as crazy as Westboro Baptist is.

Ah then we have nothing to worry about. Bergen is known to be quite resilient to water. :2thumbsup:

About the funniest thing I have read in a while. Instead of pointing out exactly where Westboro Baptist has gone against the teachings of Christ - you happen to turn argue that all mainstream churches have a problem.
The point is Navaros - Westboro Baptist as a church is committing several deadly sins against the religion that they claim to be part of. The primary one is preaching hate - not love of their fellow man.
