Westoboro Baptist Church vs Comic Con
Super Heroes vs. the Westboro Baptist Church

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/07/22/super-heroes-vs-the-westboro-baptist-church/

They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi and...kittens

4. They were claiming people who read comics are intrinsically evil
And, of course, in Phelps' eyes, "evil" and "gay" are perfectly synonymous.

5. ComiCon has the better costumes, hands down.
But the Westies are funnier.

13. I guess I should have phrased my question better.
I knew it meant "seize the chaos," but when they say "Carpe Chaos = Satan's Bible" it makes it sound as if Carpe Chaos is a book or some type of document. I had never heard of it, if it is.

16. I think it is only a play on words combined with anime=comics=chaos=statan
Since westboro was saying that, they are mocking them, along with a play on words?

I don't think there is such a thing, but then there is a lot I don't know.
