I was greatly amazed, and confused, actually, by the reports of a Baptist Church (is this a Christian organization?) preaching hate (Romans 14:10), openly trying to offend people, and using tactics usually found in Islamic and homosexual circles to get their message across.

Yes, Christ is "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense", and, He came to set " brother against brother and father against son", etc., but not in the manner in which the Westboro Baptist Church is promoting.
The protesters were carrying signs bearing slogans such as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."
