===Purpose of protests and church actions=== In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC BBC] documentary ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Hated_Family_in_America The Most Hated Family in America]'', filmmaker [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Theroux Louis Theroux] questioned Shirley Phelps-Roper as to whether she had considered that Westboro's technique of protests were more likely to "put people ''off'' the Word of Jesus Christ and the Bible". In response, Phelps-Roper said, "''You'' think our job is to win souls to Christ. All we do, by getting in their face and putting these signs in front of them and these plain words, is make what's already in their heart come out of their mouth." Later in the documentary, Phelps-Roper agrees that the $200,000 the church annually spends to fly to funerals to protest was money spent to spread "God's hate".
