WBC is allegedly not so much a church as a long con operation that allegedly raises money by (a) turning up where they're not welcome, (b) striking a provocative pose, (c) waiting for mourners/other public/law enforcement to punch them or run them out of town, then (d) suing the municipality for breach of civil rights.
This is profitable enough -- it only takes a couple of six-digit awards per year to fund them -- that it supports their lifestyle.
