Westboro Baptist Church, the pseudo-Christian group with the catchy bumper sticker slogan of "God Hates Fags," is so crazy that even snake handlers and Pat Robertson don't want anything to do with them. They've become well-known for picketing the funerals of homosexuals, soldiers who have died in battle, and basically anything else that will get them more attention.
So you have to wonder what Westboro Baptist Church was thinking when they recently showed up to protest Comic-Con, the planet's largest collection of developmentally arrested adults:
Please come home grandma
One of Comic Cons less popular superheroes -- Mr. Stoneball -- strikes up the band
This is pretty gay -- at least Westboro is staying on point here
Princess Leia tries to appease an angry God, but only succeeds with middle-aged comedy writer
Apparently, the dippy disciples of WBC didn't know that in Holy Wars, horribly misguided religious fervor always loses to a larger, stronger, CRAZIER force. Remember the Children's Crusade (where the heavily-favored Muslims routed the kids by halftime)?
The Westboro Baptists were apparently protesting the idolatry of comic book characters, as their battle cry went: "The destruction of this nation is imminent, so start calling on Batman and Superman now, to see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry!" But it's hard to say that with a straight face, when you're surrounded by Chewbacca and the Hulk.
The undercard was Buddha vs. Born-Again Barry in a steel cage match
Quickly outnumbered, the Westboro Baptists were repelled (in so many ways) by hordes of hilarious Comic-Conners.
...but not as much as Gay Robin loves Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles, apparently
So, soundly defeated by the devil's (or at least Stan Lee's) armies, the WBC licked their wounds and moved on to their next target: Lady Gaga (Sadly, we're not making this up.)

"They should just be happy they didn't get stabbed in the face".
Apparently Comic Con is like hockey. Stabbing someone in the face for saving a seat gets you two minutes in the Archie Comics reading room - with no hot Veronica or Betty pictures!
I actually ran into Westboro Baptist folks at the Belle Chere festival in Asheville last weekend. I tried to get my picture taken with them but was nearly surrounded with them yelling at me that I was going to hell.
I couldn't speak without one of them yelling at me that I was going to hell.
"Well not really because..."
"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!"
"If you would stop for a second I could..."
"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!"
"I just want to..."
"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!"
"But.."
"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!"
"So I guess a blow job is out of the question?"
My 16 year old daughter was shocked at her father.
