Today, I discovered that the guy I've been seeing is a firm supporter of the Westboro Baptist Church. FML

Everyone here will tell you to dump him now. Do NOT dump him. Those people are a special kind of insane, and you have a unique opportunity to find out why. And then you can sabotage the shit out of them.

Time to ditch him. You don't want him picketing anywhere ya!

Normally, I'd say "Well if you can't handle his belief system, you're not worth his time," but...I think it's the other way around.

They're the crazy anti-everything people.

Anti-Gay, Anti-Military, Anti-Jew, Anti-EverythingThatDisagreesWithThem... Need I go on?

I would stay well away from that swarming hatefest, that is the Westboro Baptist 'church'. Those people are just plain evil.

that sucks! Atleast you found out before you got too involved!

I love how religious people knock other religions. Acting all high and mighty about theirs. All organized religions are cults with the exception of Buddhism. Don't get me wrong OP you need to get the f*** out of there but find yourself a nice agnostic or atheist guy.

Just out of curiosity how is Buddhism not a cult? And not all of religions are cults. You're an ignorant ass if you believe that.

I am anything but ignorant. I have been through catechism and catholic high school where I also learned about other religions. Buddhism is not a cult because they do not ask for money nor do they use guilt.

Religions teach what they want about other religions. If you want to know full and well about every religion, you need to study under every religion. Dont just take one religions word as full truth.

Religion was originally created to answer questions that we could not, as well as to create order in society before we had laws. We now have laws and anyone that believes someone walked this planet that could walk on water, turn water to wine, and had a virgin mother is insane. Almost all wars have been over religious differences. Most religions are also against gays, birth control and abortion in a world that is already over populated.

But you have to admit that the Westboro Baptist church is an exception- they deserved to be knocked.

Yes they are worse than most. Run OP run!

Sounds like you're "acting all high and mighty" about atheism and agnosticism, jubjub86. I'm pretty sure that choosing not to follow a religion counts as a belief system, in and of itself, let alone believing that some form of intelligent design exists. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

#82 Buddhism is no exception. In countries where it is the majority religion there are people who spit on beggars (especially if disabled) because they believe that they must have been evil in a previous life to 'deserve' their lot in this life. Any religion that teaches non-evidence-based certainty leads to evil treatment of other people.

No war has ever truly been about religion religion has merely been the excuse the people In power use to get the common folk on board every war ever is about power

82 you're the type of person that really gets on my nerves. The self-proclaimed "athiest" that jumps on any chance to bash religion like a bitch in heat. First, this FML clearly isn't about a difference in religious views, it's about OP's boyfriend supporting and insane hate group. Frankly I don't care if someone believes that the entire universe grew from an onion, if they can see the stupidity breeding in the WBC community, I'm not going to try to invalidate their thoughts and views by pointing at their religion. Atheists or agnostics are in no way superior to religious people or vice versa, and it's the belief that one group is that makes this whole thing a clusterfuck. Also I am not religious, I just can't stand it when some one-man revolution such as yourself makes us all look like assholes. Lay off.
