***I don't think anyone is suggesting anything of the sort. And if he had kept his faith to himself there would have been no issue. problem is, he inflicted his faith on others and has tried to cause a fair amount of pain to many who didn't deserve it.

That sounds like some of the leaders of every religion ever imagined.

What makes him so special?

False premise. I don't like them either. Do you?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Quote

I take no solace or joy in this man's passing. We will not dance upon his grave, nor stand vigil at his funeral holding "God Hates Freds" signs, tempting as it may be.
He was a tormented soul, who tormented so many. Hate never wins out in the end. It instead goes always to its lonely, dusty end.

Judge not, lest you be judged, and the same judgment you use to judge others will be used to judge you.

Need to be careful what you say about other's, it could come back to bite ya. I don't dislike the actor(s), just the actions of the actor(s).

God is a piece of shit cunt! I hope that doesn't come back to bite me!

Wow, just wow. If you don't believe in Him,say so. If you do, then, why would you say this about someone who obviously could send you to where He said He would if you reject Him?

They have to torment and hate people who do believe

People's bodies end up in dusty (or wet, or whatever) ends. But the love, hate, and effects of their relationships last past them.

Eventually they fade, too, but each person's influence does last past their death. One hopes that positive influence is a bigger long-term influence, but that probably depends.

The Patriot Guard Riders, around 300K members, would not exist if it were not for Fred Phelps, Sr and the WBC.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

If your interpretation of the characters words is correct, he indicts himself by speaking them.


In other words, me calling Fred Phelps a horrible cunt is in absolutely no way comparable to the many, many things that Fred Phelps has done that show him to be a horrible cunt.

I'm not disputing it, just asking people to be better than him in actions and words.

He's on his deathbed. And apparently was excommunicated from the Westboro Baptist Church a few months ago.

Did he say "Smite me o mighty smiter!!" to God?

Good riddance. Maybe, just maybe, the Westboro Baptist Church will quit doing the stupid "God hates fags" protests and shit.

I would REALLY like to hear the details of the excommunication.

Interesting to me that he was disbarred from practicing law for making false statements.

Maybe it's proof that god hates preachers more than "fags".

I've never really understood why its so hard for the religious types to accept non-existence when they've all experienced it already.

Without afterlife rewards or punishment, religion loses it's biggest control mechanism.

So I finally figured out why this thread has been gnawing at me: grammar. I'm not comfortable with "smited" as past tense of "smite".

I specifically put the word "fags" in quote because I was quoting a word I don't use.
You shat on the idea with the use of a British word.
Don't fucking turn this on me.
That was not my intent and you know it.

Whatever your persuasion, it's one to a customer.

At 84, he was hardly nipped in his prime.

I am reminded of Hitchens' comment regarding Jerry Falwell to the effect that, if given an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox. The sentiment would certainly apply here.
