I didn't mean they were 'attacking' Christianity. What I was refuting, more, was that the article did center around Christianity, and that Westboro should not be used as an example of it, nor any of it's people's practices, beliefs, etc.
Westboro should never be used as an example for ANYTHING except an extremist cult let by a bitter, controlling madman, because that's what it is. It should never be used as a general example for Christianity or even this article.
Well as long as you get that than cool. We're awesome, admittedly I do not know much about Westboro but unfortunately I cannot say I am not surprised. Through history ideas on faith and community have had their fair share of extremists like such as you have described. It is a sad part of history that continues today. That's people unfortunately, which is why I don't believe in people and their words claiming it to be their deity's word. I believe in my own perspection :)
