with a question like that.

You're just too dumb. Sorry.

Because you're a human being.

God Almighty made ya

and He will send your ass to Hell.

Because you're a human being.

as well as I do. Why?

Is it accurate to say that you

regard the Westboro Baptist Church

as the only church

that's preaching according to the

words of God? Is the three minutes

up? The answer to you is yes.

It was five minutes.

But I already talked two, didn't I?

So there's three left?

Do you believe your preaching is the

only preaching according to the word

of God? Asked and answered. Next.

Do you believe your preaching is the

are the people of this church

the only ones now living

that will make it to the Kingdom

of Heaven? Asked and answered. Next.

Is there something you'd like me to

ask? Nope. I didn't wanna talk

to you or even let you in.

Isn't it an act of presumption

that when you don't have all the

information about the other churches

ask? Nope. I didn't wanna talk

to grace?

I know all there is to know about

them. How? I won't keep talking.

Didn't Steve Drain tell you

that you'd wasted an opportunity

and they'd probably fire you?

You're just an evil...

I don't wanna go there.

And good luck to you.

OK, guys.

Did you come to carry some stuff?

God hates fags!

God hates fag enablers!

The abominable, disgraceful,

filthy conduct

that you think up to engage in.

Quit worshipping the flag, dummy!

It can't help you.

Quit worshipping the flag, dummy!

# You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

# Run on for a long time

Tell 'em that God's

gonna cut you down

# Tell 'em that God's gonna

cut you down

# Tell 'em that God's gonna

cut you down... #

'I'd sensed a deep wellspring

of anger in Gramps

and I suspected this was the basis

'for his church's ministry.

His skewed interpretation

of the Bible had been handed on

'and was now broadcast to the world.

They had no interest

in winning souls.

'Being hated was proof that they

were doing the right thing.

'As part of their effort

to reach every corner of America,

'they had decided to picket

a soldier's funeral several hundred

'they had decided to picket

'in Skokie, Illinois.

..however many there are of you,

just to picket this dead soldier's

funeral? That's right.

For 45 minutes. Yep.

Is it really worth it? Yeah!

They'll get the message.

You see what it's created

around this nation. Good morning.

I'm gonna sit in the second row

unless somebody else is there.

How much would you say the church

spends in an average year

on flights? A lot. How much?

For 45 minutes. Yep.

It's in the 200,000 range. Really?

$200,000.

That's more than maybe 100,000.

Yeah, I don't know the ratio.

That's more than maybe 100,000.

Just to go and spread hate?

No, to go and preach the gospel.

God's hate. Not your hate.

It's very scriptural what I said.

Actually, that's true.

"His unit was supposed to end

"but one day before Foyteck was

scheduled to leave, he got news

that it would be sent to Baghdad.

"He told his family he'd be home

in November instead and his mother

mailed him his cell phone

"so he would be able to call.

Foyteck, 26,

died two days before Hallowe'en,

"shot in the neck by insurgents

during a raid on a house.

"In addition to his mother,

he is survived by his father,

a brother Christopher

"and grandparents." Doesn't that

make you sad? It's very sad

that they won't get the message.

All they have to do is obey

their God and they'll stop the pain,

but they're not going to.

their God and they'll stop the pain,

It's not! It's so concrete.

We don't know anything more

than this about Kraig Foyteck.

than this about Kraig Foyteck.

No, we know two things.

He's been killed, therefore

he was doing something sinful.

He was fighting for a nation that

has made God their enemy. There's

no good people in the military?

It's all very plain and simple.

You will not make me feel bad.

I did not do that.

I'm doing this to help them.

Is there any danger of you feeling

bad about it? Is there any danger?

I did not do that.

than this about Kraig Foyteck.

You say that almost as though

I got through to you. No.

You say that almost as though

are temporal. They'll fade away.

If God is infinitely wise

and powerful and omniscient,

then He could bring a soldier

up to Heaven if He felt like it.

Listen to you! This nation thinks

they are all-powerful, almighty

Listen to you! This nation thinks

You think that about your church.

and the power comes from our God.

We have all the power. You stay

tuned. He will come through the

clouds and execute judgment on them.

Isn't it possible

that the funeral is for a good man,

a righteous and a nice person,

who doesn't deserve to have his

funeral picketed? Not a chance,

funeral picketed? Not a chance,

You say that almost as though

You say that almost as though

# Oh, wicked land of sodomites... #

You say that almost as though

'At the funeral, I decided

to break away from the picket

and go inside the memorial home

You say that almost as though

'to see the mourners first-hand.'

He was doing what he wanted to do.

funeral picketed? Not a chance,

I have to honour that, as much as

I miss him and don't think it's fair.

But he was doing what he believes

and what he wanted.

Kraig wanted to go in the army

after high school,

so he did what he wanted to do.

He did.

We just have to carry on his memory

and his honour through other soldiers

and help other families.

and his honour through other soldiers

BELL TOLLS:

'Seeing the mourners brought home

the reality of the grief

'but I realised I'd got

as far as I could with Shirley.'

'but I realised I'd got

Louis, you're going to Hell.

'Try as I might, nothing I said

made any impact on her beliefs.

'Back in Topeka,

'For the Phelps it was another sign

You want to get a sign, Louis? To

Yeah. 'I was nearing

the end of my time in the group.

Yeah. 'I was nearing

the end of my time in the group.

'I'd made no headway with Shirley,

but tried my fellow documentary

maker, Steve Drain.'

'I'd made no headway with Shirley,

the end of my time in the group.

'I'd made no headway with Shirley,

and while we've been away

Now that I've come

to the end of my time here,

are you curious to hear my thoughts?

I'd love to. Go ahead.

I spent a little bit of time

with the Pastor and I think maybe

he's got a lot of anger.

Maybe he's a rageaholic.

But perhaps his ministry

is human-focused, not God-focused.

The Bible's a pretty long book,

but if you pick and choose, you can

justify almost any behaviour.

When I say God hates fags, OK, that's

not the whole message that we have.

But perhaps his ministry

Maybe he's a rageaholic.

That's the front burner issue,

the elephant in the room

that nobody else talks about.
