TOPEKA - The Topeka Fire Department is investigating a small fire today outside of a church whose members protest at soldier's funerals.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports on its Web site that a fence and garage at Westboro Baptist Church became engulfed in flames early today.
Topeka Fire Marshal Greg Bailey said the cause of the fire has not been determined.
However, a spokeswoman for the church, Shirley Phelps-Roper, believes it was deliberately set.
Members of the church frequently picket military funerals, arguing that the deaths of U.S. troops overseas are part of God's punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.
Bailey said damage is estimated at $10,000.
But why???
Dear arsonist,
Fucking Fail.
