    I don't see why you find it so hard to believe that they genuinly believe what they believe. People believe a lot of things.

    Their line of Christianity isn't disimilar from one that I imagine you would've got in not so long-ago centuries. Can you imagine the attitude of most Americans if the First Ammendment was to pass gay-marriage legislation? They're just following a very dated (and twisted) set of beliefs and taking them to their logical conclusion and following them with a lot of pride and conviction.

    This is what happens when you combine twisted beliefs with absolute devotion. The world is full of people who have one or the other and also has quite a few people who have both.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    God's aiming is a bit poor though, so no worries. When he aims really well he might hit Norway though.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    If when he sends the Fire of Wrath, and part of the East side of Norway is devoured because of bad aiming, He is truly GOD! and he hears prayers!!!

    Uhm, God has been using water for most of the time nowadays, and there's probably enough Swedes working in Bergen to prove for Westboro Baptist Church that God really hates Swedes.

    So I wouldn't recommend prying that that much.

    It's all a joke, they're as serious as Gamefaq's "Dark Atheist" guys.

    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..)

    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.
