Fred Phelps and Westboro Church

[gadgetlady 4]

He is wrong on SOOOOO many levels.

I just saw the photo on MSNBC. Funeral war picketers lose verdict - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com

Turns my stomach to see children being brought up to hate others.

He and his followers are sick and demented. I can't believe how much hate one person can have. Just amazing.

A friend of mine belongs to a group that when there is a funeral in her area for a military person she is one of the people that goes and creates a human barrier between the family and Phelps. She was also explaining how cool it is to have a bunch of retired military folks with super loud Harley's. They go to the funerals too and they surround the Phelps people with their loud harley's and rev up their engines to drown out the noise of the demented ones so the family can't hear them.

She showed me some photos of this. These rough and tough, spooky looking Harley guys with tattoos, odd haircuts, etc., they are just glaring at the Phelps idiots daring them to try and get by them. HA! Then when the Phelps people start screaming at the grieving family the bikes become louder and louder until that is all you can hear.

It's sad that this is necessary.

He and his followers are basically the scum of the Earth, IMO. Utterly disgusting people that use their religious beliefs to excuse their bigotry. Christians, my fat white ass. Every single person that is raising their children in that church needs to be prosecuted for child abuse, child endangerment, something. It's not right.

I totally agree. He's such a moron. I hope the recent judgment makes them so strapped for cash that they all just go away and shut the hell up.

Do you believe in the practices of Fred Phelps who pickets funerals of men and women who have died in the Iraq war. He also believes that Gay people are responsible for the deaths of the men and women who die in the Iraq Conflict.

If you don't know who is... read up before you take the poll.

Fred Phelps

He is sick, demented, I can't even find the words.... who the heck is following this crazy bastard?

This group would be the PGR (Patriot Guard Riders). And they ride all kinds of motorcycles. Awesome group of people.

I have to say I LOVE your legal system, if an $11,000,000 fine doesnt shut them up........

I have never read anything like that before we dont really have a far-right anything anymore in the UK, I was stunned that there are really people that twisted and frankly loony, who have FOLLOWERS???

Like the sound of the PGR, pretty decent people, we could do with some of them over here!

Not that anyone is going to fess up to this but I'll take a chance.

Who voted for #2?

>> Yes, but protesting at funerals is wrong.<<

I'd LOVE to meet a person that agrees with Phelps on ANYTHING!

LOL! I was thinking the same thing.

Ditto. I can't believe ANYONE believes that the Iraq war and the attacks on 9/11 are because of our acceptance of homosexuality. That's just.... Well, insane, for lack of a better term.

I had a discussion with my father once about a friend of his who said he'd forgive his children anything but homosexuality. I quizzed my father about this (granted, he wasn't the person who made the original statement): he'd forgive murder? Yes. He'd forgive rape? Yes. He'd forgive ANYTHING but homosexuality? Yes. How do you think his children felt knowing they could do something that could make their father stop loving them? (He didn't have much of an answer to that one!)

I just want to know, from Phelps supporters, where in the Bible it EVER says one sin is worse than any other?

Surely someone just clicked the wrong radio. Surely.....

I know that people believe that it is a sin. However, it is hard for me to see forgiving a crime like rape or murder and/or comparing it to homosexuality is just absurd. Those two don't compare to who someone loves or are attracted to. I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would think accepting who someone is attracted to is causing the deaths of innocent soldiers who are doing a gracious duty for their country. You know I wouldn't want his forgiveness, in fact not even his love-not anyones who would feel that way. It takes folks a long time to accept who they are, come to grips with it, move on and try to live a great life without someone passing judgment on them...I say once you get over the crap from family-- screw everybody else.
