Westboro Church

Not sure but are the views of this so called church Biblical? I mean it seems they are more bent on hate than love.

Some of the views expressed here I would put in the same category.

The WBC use God's word to oppress others, it's just that they are more open about it.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Matthew 7:21-23 springs to mind.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Considering Phelps was in the tank for a certain political party that has been on the side of the gay rights lobby, the cynic in me wonders if these people aren't just a false flag?
