Long, but interesting article about one of Westboro Baptist Church's members, and why she left: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/conversion-via-twitter-westboro-baptist-church-megan-phelps-roper
She grew up steeped in a message of hate, and was tasked with using the Internet to spread that hate far and wide. But when others showed her compassion instead of returning hate for hate, her life changed.
hmmmm
Kat and I have assumed that that church was like an FBI operation to promote hate.
