Thunderf00t trolls the westboro baptist church.

I found this very funny if not a little difficult to watch. I wonder how he set the meeting up in the first place.

Trolling is far better than an attempt at rational discourse with these people.

Rather disappointing. I thought Thunderf00t was better than this. Couldn't post a comment there so I'll post it here.

A perfect example of where the American education system of home schooling gets one. The WBC are just a laughing-stock and really should simply be ignored. In addition the passage used has been translated at least twice and is effectively meaningless. We have no idea what was in the mind of the writer or the social circumstances when that passage was written. If one goes to Vietnam one will see men walking down the street holding hands, they are not gay. Placing 21st century Western interpretations on a translated 1st century middle-eastern text is shameful in its stupidity.

As far as trolling goes, I liked it.  He DID get kicked out after all...

I loved the way she kept calling him a pervert, what an ignorant woman, but then what should one expect.

With fundamentalists, I think it's best to expect nothing and some very few times be positively surprised when you actually find something.

It's not the home schooling system; it's what they do outside of the homeschooling cirriculum that is the problem.  A lot of secular parents home-school here because the school system is not of a high enough standard and/or because their child was being teased over their non-belief and the school wasn't doing anything about it.  Sane parents of homeschoolers make sure they are exposed to social situations and life experiences just as they would be in a public school.

Though it is funny to watch him trolling the trolls, I really don't see the point. They thrive on the attention they're getting, and Thunderf00t, with all his subscribers is one source for that.

They should be ignored, since their opinions really aren't worth the saliva that accompany the words they spit out of their mouths.

I watched the entire 19 mins, and it got a bit tedious. There were a lot of laughs, but mostly I was shocked by his ability to not lose his cool. I could only be called "lil' boy and lil' girl" so many times before I punched the *lady* in her face.

I'm still not sure which of the two were worse, the obnoxious old woman who kept tossing out insults, or the ignorant younger one who simply read bible passages from her scientific invention?  

*Edited for using a word I'm trying to drop from my vocabulary.

I hate that "church". Better not find themselves in my town.

Whats scary is that religious extremists like this show the dangers of faith, but moderate, run-of-the-mill people with religious beliefs use extremists like this as reasoning for why their own faith is acceptable.  They know what these extremists say and do aren't morally acceptable, but ignore that faith is what justifies these behaviors in some people.  Just goes to show how the Bible can promote actions we all seem to acknowledge as morally bad, but faith in Christianity leads people to excuse what the Bible says.  Most Christians don't even care what is in the Bible, because whatever it says, they would find a way to fit it in with their faith.

1,000 years from now people could do the same thing with the Harry Potter series, interpreting it to mean they should worship Voldemort.

Faith isn't necessary for us to distinguish good from evil.  Faith requires people to act however a supreme being decides it is okay to act.  If you can do the wrong thing you can still be saved from your sins anyway.  The irony is we don't need this supreme being to decide what is right and wrong and there are no sins to be saved from.  Wow, as I think about it the more selfish I think the whole belief in Jesus dying for your sins really is.

Supreme being? if this being were shown it's one thing, but faith requires one to act as a self appointed representative of this so called supreme being tells them to act.

I personally don't care about people cherry picking, I just care what they cherry pick. The Westboros are an example of the extremely ridiculous.
