It's not what WBC believes that offends me.  It's how they go about expressing it.  WBC is not gathering souls to Christ, they are driving souls away.  Who wants to be associated with such an "hateful" God, as their example portrays Him?  Sure, God hates sin, and does not excuse it, but He gently persuades souls to repentance.  WBC wants to bully everyone into adhering to their version of religion.  Yes, theirs is a religion based on fear and oppression, not on faith/trust in Christ.
