Bloody hell......anyone else see Louis Theroux's return visit to this bunch of lunatics? I was amazed by their antics in the first documentary 4 years ago. If anything, they have gotten worse.

If you haven't seen last night's show check it out on iPlayer.

    You should.

    They were tripped up several times and had no answers to their hypocriscy.

    A guy on Twitter last night clearly new his bible and was asking them all sorts of questions. The mother took up the challenge with him and was made to look even more stupid than she was on TV.

    They are clearly utterly insane. If everyone just ignored them it would deprive them of the oxygen of infamy they so obviously crave.

    Kevin Smith's been having a lot of fun with the Phelps' in the build to his new film Red State (which is about a WBC type family) Even invited some of them to a screening, they walked out after 15 mins and 2 of the family who had absconded did a Q and A afterwards

    I love the Westboro Baptist Church. They're conclusive proof that Islam isn't the only religion that has batshit fundamentalists, Christianity has them too.

    I'm beginning to wonder if Phelps is some kind of out-there art-comedy satirist in the Chris Morris mould. That song about jews was the giveaway.

    It's the kids I feel sorry for, "tow our psycho line or never speak to us again".

    Really? I would have thought the ability to excommunicate yourself from them waould be seen as a positive move.

    Yes when they're old enough Leroy I agree, but having kids under the age of 11 given that ultimatum is no good for anyone. The kids haven't chosen that path or views have they?

    I'd argue the absolute opposite - the sooner they're out of that environment the better, surely?

    I wondered what became of him and his bubble perm after playing in our midfield back in the eighties.

    Depends, will there be anyone to take care of them etc.? There is a certain amount of cracks in the US social system.

    My favourite bit was when the converted guy with the "Affliction" t-shirt said that the Bible said atheists were fools and Louis responded "Well the Bible would say that, wouldn't it?"

    Surely that only makes sense if you work from the assumption that the extremists are typical of the religion, which, by definition, they aren't.
