    Louis's calm manner, but persistant jibes to the family that calls themselves God fearing Christians make for controversial, debate urging viewing, one way or another you're bound to have an opinion on this.

    Whether it's picketing at the funeral of a soldier or condemming homo... read moresexuality, extra marial sex, or behaving in a cult like fashion, the documentary is an interesting watch and yet another good one for the Louis Theroux collection.

    Scary to see there are actually people like that out there.

    Louis Theroux is an absolute genius at journalism, there is no doubt about it and this documentary is nothing far from disgusting and sheer shock comes across you when you watch this, as to how such 'human beings' can be so cruel and be brainwashed into such diabolical thoughts. ... read moreCults ruin lives and it's sad that they choose that over family and friends. I, however, have no sympathy for them whatsoever and there are absolutely no excuses for picketing funerals. People like this don't belong on this planet, not at all. Waste of space.

    I found myself agreeing with Theroux's viewpoints and all throughout the entire movie. The actions of Westburo baptist are truly scary.

    Fundamentalists don't use the word "fag," just for the record. I love when the mother is saying how they aren't a cult and then proceeds to define their religion and it fits perfectly into the category of a cult.
