Westboro’s are heretics and schismatics. Do not call them Christians

I don't call them Christians. I am saying this to those anti-religious people who lump them in with Christians then tar us all with the same brush.

I wasn't saying you personally, but that's good to know.

The way most of them go on about it, it appears they do. There's a difference between a minority of Christians who take things too far in the name of Christian teachings even if it goes against said teachings (also the Westboro Baptist church has less than 100 members, especially since Fred Phelps' death), and a theocratic legal system that is not amended or contradicted by the Islamic holy book the Qu'ran. One should examine and compare the teachings of Christianity and Islam. Also, they whitewash Islam and call for support for it in the name of diversity and inclusiveness. If people like that lived for a year in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, they'd beg for the days of the Spanish Inquisition if it got them out of that.

No offence, there is much you don't know about Christianity. For one a Christian theocracy exists today as I showed in a previous image, Vatican City. You said then that Vatican city was a better place to live than Saudi Arabia.

The death penalties for blasphemy and homosexuality, as well as honor killings were under the Mosaic Law legal system. Christ's coming, death and resurrection fulfilled that, so while homosexuality and blasphemy remain sins in Christian teachings, the capital punishment no longer applies and hasn't for over 2,000 years even if some Christians have maintained it. Compare that to the Qu'ran, where there is plenty of wriggle room in the Qu'ran to allow the death penalty for homosexuals, and it has been used for that purpose. Not to mention the Bible commands peaceful co-existence between Christians and all people where possible - Christian and non-Christian alike in Romans 12. The Qu'ran's mandate for non-believers who refuse to convert (which most Muslims don't follow thankfully) is death or subjugation.

The Spanish Inquisition would've been unlikely to put you to death, even if you were a heretic. However, since you're not Christian you can't be a heretic; as a non-Catholic Christian I'd be more at risk of a heresy charge than you if they were still around, and I'd still take my chances with them rather than Saudi Arabia's punishment for evangelizing a religion other than Islam (which is death).

As I also showed in a previous post here, the Spanish Inquisition only executed around 1-in-40 of the people they trailed. They also were often fairer than secular courts at the time, allowed some freedom of speech and didn't have total control over Spain, let alone the Spanish Empire.

The Ten Commandments are part of Mosaic Law but supersecde them; they are a code of conduct for all humanity while the Mosaic legal system was specific to a time or place. I just explained that the Mosaic legal system was for a specific society and handed to them until the coming
of Christ, so now Christ has come and gone those punishments no longer apply so the punishment isn't ignored - the legal system has served it's purpose. Just because some Christians believe it does doesn't mean it does, God is infallible we Christians are not, which addresses your point but does not disprove/invalidate God and the Bible.

Homosexuality is a sin, that's why it's still wrong (interestingly, scientists investigating what causes homosexuality have determined that a pre-natal hormone imbalance is a contributing factor in homosexuality; a disorder where a boy gets too much girl hormones or a girl gets too much boy hormones - so even from a scientific and evolutionary POV homosexuality is an aberration).
