Brainwashed by the Westboro Baptist Church
This is interesting in a sad kind of way - this "church" embodies the shadow side of religion in a more obvious form than any we have seen in our lifetimes. It seems that these people are damaged in some fundamental way that is beyond my comprehension.
What saddens me the most is the children being forced down a path that will probably influence their whole life and that will take a lot of work to get out of, if they ever do.
