- Self - Presenter: [narrated] It would be difficult to overstate the amount grief caused by Westboro doctrine of divine hate over the years. A creed, created by a spiteful pastor, who passed down through the generations, of dividing families and denying feelings. But in my time back, I'd also seen reasons to believe in the possibility of change. Thanks in part to the death of its founder, but also one ex-member's willingness to fight hate with love, and division with engagement.
- Megan Phelps-Roper: [speaking from a lectern to an audience] One point that I hope you'll takeaway from all this, it that - when people in the thrall of poisonous ideology, it's really not all about deliberate ill will or lack of intelligence, it's about the unbelievable destructiveness and staying power of bad ideas, and the more of us who are willing to reach out, to disagree without demonising, the more likely we are to change hearts and minds, to heal divisions and to create a better society for all of us in the process. Thank you so much for having me.
