Yeah, they've taken their shots at "Mormonism".
Deseret News | Church group plans protest at Pres. Hinckley's funeral
"On February 2, 2008 the group picketed during the funeral of former LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley in Salt Lake City, Utah, displaying picket signs criticizing him for being a "lying false prophet" and "leading millions of people astray." The organization also criticized Hinckley for being too accepting of gay people, accusing him of having an "ambiguous voice" about homosexuality rather than taking a firm stand against it. Police had difficulty determining whether the demonstration met the guidelines of protected free speech. It was said at least one of the picket signs read, "Hinckley is in hell." "
Westboro Baptist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wikipedia link also contains a summary of everything else they've protested, criticized or condemned to hell. To summarize, they hate EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING OTHER THAN THEMSELVES. Some of the things they denounce and protest are things they have in common with other Christian Churches. Most are things that no decent human being would ever do.
This group is a true embarrassment to all things Christian and indeed all things Baptist. One thing has always struck me as very curious: Can't the Baptist faiths/organization prohibit them from referring to themselves as "Baptists"? No doubt they'd continue anyways, but at least an official denunciation should be in order, right?
