A newspaper in Trenton New Jersey asked its Facebook friends to submit questions for Shirley Phelps-Roper,  daughter of the pastor for Westboro Baptist Church, which plans to picket the funeral of slain Bordentown soldier and fireman Benjamin Moore.

Here are the Questions and answers.

Betty Kish: Why can't they respect the fallen soldier and his family?

Phelps-Roper: You've got no respect for God, so don’t be looking for God and his people to have any respect for you. When you have respect for God, we’ll have respect for you.

Len Moore: Don't they have anything BETTER to do with their time???

Phelps-Roper: When a nation’s destruction is imminent, there is nothing better to do with your time than get out on these streets and warn. You are either going to obey or go to hell. There’s no time.

April Nicolo: What could they possibly expect to accomplish with this that could in any way be considered positive?

Phelps-Roper: Positive is in the eye of the beholder. The only thing we want to accomplish is to be faithful to the word of God. To tell you what these events mean to you. Connecting dots; we’re dot connectors – from your rebellion against God to your dead soldier.

April Nicolo: Ask them if they realize they are messing with Jersey people this time ... how do they think that is going to go?

Phelps-Roper: The Jersey girlies, the girly brutes of New Jersey are not outside the jurisdiction of God’s wrath, so they better watch it.

Lisa Tatusko: Ask them how they would feel if one of their own died fighting for their beliefs! And then found out a different organization wanted to picket at one of their funerals!

Phelps-Roper: If one of my children died, the only sorrow at that hour is “What have I done?” The blood is on my hands. You think I care about some nutter out there who says “Payback’s a bitch”? I wouldn’t care a bit. (Phelps-Roper added that “We don’t have any dead people so we haven’t had to discuss it.” She said the church was founded in 1955 and no member has died in that time.)

Jason Batistoni: Don't they consider causing pain a sin? Isn't making judgments frowned upon? Isn't it God only who is to judge? Would Jesus have protested at this funeral?

Phelps-Roper: When you see the Westboro Baptist church standing on the street, you see Christ.

Ed Fox: What audacity do you have to trash this country and bring more heartache to slain service people by picketing their families? What is this all about? Is this the way God would want you to act?

Phelps-Roper: As far as trashing up the country, you've got that covered. We’re just the ones shining a bright light on the nasty, trashy face of it.

Hal English: Ask how they can be so un-Christian.

Phelps-Roper: We’re the ones who are following Christ. … You can’t separate Jesus Christ from his word, and his word says that he hates people.

Karen Orme: How do you feel about the fact that I am counting the days until you croak so I can picket at your funeral, followed by a long, Pabst Blue Ribbon piss on your grave?

Phelps-Roper: That’s just the perfect face of rebellious doomed America. I say, Exhibit A.

Paul Opdyke: Christians? Believe me, there is no God in that cesspool they call a church.

Phelps-Roper: Is God anywhere here? He says he is. Only if you believe his word. Does this nation understand ... does the fact you can’t do one thing to stop us on any level mean anything to you?

Chuck Keneagy: Tell them they can Kiss My American Ass.

Phelps-Roper: That’s Exhibit B.
