Re: Westboro Baptist Church
Phelps is a nut, pure and simple. We all know this, and his God will punish him thoroughly, I hope, via the ways he hates the most. I'd laugh for centuries if I could only watch.

What i don't get is why Virginia Tech? It makes no sense. Phelps has got to be out of his mind, even more than we already thought! His Daughter's crazy, too. First off she's got like 10 kids. Hello, condoms! Wrap that rascal!

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
A protest at a funeral? I saw news stories of protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, but I don't know if this man or church was specifically associated with it; however, I think it's wrong. You're right about free speech. I wouldn't want to oppose that right, but I would be extremely upset if someone were protesting while I was in mourning.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
The WBC is funded by lawsuits, they sue everyone. Thats how the WBC pays its bills.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
The WBC has been protesting funarals of American soldiers since the war started. Holding some pretty disgusting signs while doing it.
Another thing that kills me is that the whole group consists of, like, 100 people! And like 80% of them are related! How the fuck do they get this kinda media attention?

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
I hate this guy...he's a shameless god exhibitionist. instead of the regular perv, he'd be the type to stand on the street corner, stroking himself, with the word "GOD" tattooed on his dick....same difference, wanting to provoke a reaction by forcing his whims on an audience. yeah, he has free speech, but we also have the right to react in the way we see fit...bleh.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
If they picketed at my funeral while a soldier I'd rise from the dead and kick their a**. Must be reading a diff bible.

This poor excuse for a human being has protested everything to funerals to Mr. Rogers. He seethes hate and teaches it to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I remember a reporter asked a child who was holding a sign that read "God Hates Fags" if h e knew what a fag was. He didn't. All that he knew was his grandfather told him that God hated them and that they will burn in hell. And that America let them live. I bawled when I read that.
I truly hope they collapse on themselves.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
Isn't that the church with the website with a picture of Matthew Shepard (the gay guy who was beaten to death in Wyoming a few years ago) and a label that says, "Matthew Shepard has burned in Hell for ___ days."?
I think they also protest at Mormon weddings, spit on the brides, and call them harlots.
IMHO, using religion to promote hatred is a far greater taking of the Lord's Name in vain than saying, "God damn."
What a bunch of worthless creeps. Haven't they got something better to do, like feeding the poor or visiting people in prison?
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
No, they probably think they are 'fags' who got their due.
Phelps has nothing good to give to this earth. I personally can't wait for him to exit stage left.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
"Using religion to promote hatred"?
UNHEARD OF, SIR! ::insert sarcasm as you see fit::
(UtahMike, I'm not picking on you. My mom is from Cedar City, and as Mormon as they come.)

It makes no sense to you because you exist on a different plane of reality than these crazies. Their twisted creed allows them to feel that their acts are perfectly rational. Remember they've got God on their side. They are not much different from the crazed mullahs that send out their suicide bombers to kill innocents. They claim to have God on their side too.
They are publicity seeking maniacs who will seize any opportunity to spew their bile. The bigger the tragedy, the more their attraction to it.
I believe that what comes around goes around eventually. They'll get theirs in the end.

He protested the Amish school victims in PA too. When you're a media whore like Fred Phelps and you're trying to do anything and everything to get your name in the news, thumbing your nose at people's sensitivities makes perfect sense. He has quite a long shit list.

I've personally run into the Phelps clan twice and they are as maniacally nuts in the flesh as they seem in the media. The Topeka newspaper ran an in depth series about them some years back. Worth a read.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church
tyra banks had his wife and daughters on her show a few nights ago. at least i think thats who they were...
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
Phelps is a Neo-Calvinistic meglomanic. There is NOTHING that will ever deter him from what he is doing - no arguments or rational thoughts. Thus, the only thing that can end his spewing is if he gets taken out by someone finally driven over the edge by his hate.
When that day comes, I will applaud.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
He looks like Mr. Burns to me.
Re: Westboro Baptist Church
^^I can see the Mr Burns, but to me he's creepier. He reminds me of either the Tall Man from "Phantasm", or the spooky priest guy from Poltergeist 2.

I do... and I still can't understand why people tell me to believe in him or have faith in him. Fucker never returned my sweater!! I'm never having faith in Jesus again. Humph.
