Growing Up Batsh-t Crazy
-
Libby Phelps Alvarez is the granddaughter of the founder of Westboro Baptist Church, and now that she's left the church, she's talking about the culture in the church and why they're out there protesting innocent people's funerals and harassing schoolkids. She says the really believe that they're going to heaven and that if you don't join them in their hatred, you're going to hell. Her story is interesting in that it shows what happens when hatred, paranoia, and stupidity become a family thing: Kids growing up in that family don't know they're in a terrible cult because it's all they know. Once they break away, they can see. (NBC News)
