Whitechapel vocalist Phil Bozeman is the latest metal musician to clash with the Westboro Baptist Chuch via Twitter. Speaking through the platform this weekend, Bozeman said of the organization:
“The Westboro Baptist Church will die out just like every other cult. Pay no mind to ignorant fools.”
“You know why The WBC still exists? Because of the media. If people stopped giving a shit about them, they’d disappear.”
“This world thrives on controversy and causing pandemonium.”
The comments were not well received by the Westboro Baptist Church‘s Twitter accounts, which replied:

Bozeman for his part later replied back:
“Ok I’m done with WBC, had my entertainment for the night! Moving on.”
