Fred Phelps truly tops himself.

First it was God hates fags.

Then it was God hates America (because of fags).

Then it was God hates Sweden, Canada, and Ireland.

Now it's God Hates the world, complete with a zoomable clickable flash map so you can check out why God hates each country in the world. Not all are covered yet, but he's working on it.

I haven't clicked them all, but so far it's always something to do with fags.

How long will it take before he figures out that God hates Fred Phelps?

And I bet it will have something to do with fags.

What's the thing with him going to Canada for the funerals of those snowmobilers? My work firewall has blocked his website as Hate/Racism, which I thoroughly agree with, so I couldn't check his press release. What's his beef with snowmobilers? It reminded me a lot of Fred Wanted To Ski.

Fred Phelps is a hate filled bigot but I don't think he is a hypocrite.

I respect him for sticking to his delusional guns and spewing his hate, it is honesty unlike certain pastors who hide their hate and hypocrisy behind the facade of religion. He isn't trying to save souls, he's just informing everyone about the fire and brimstone to come.

I love the guy. I hope when people look at his behavior, it'll drive them away from religion.

Check out the section on Pakistan. Mr. Phelps acknowledges that homosexuality is illegal there...but...
Quote:
Although Pakistan made sodomy illegal in the 90’s they do not institute God’s standard of the death penalty (Lev. 20:13 & Rom. 1:32). This is yet another instance where the Pakistani government substitutes their base judgment for God’s perfect judgment.


In October of 2005, a 42 year old Afghan refugee paid a 16 year old boy’s family 40,000 rupees (or 380 pounds) for his hand in “marriage.” They had a tribal wedding in Pakistan and were asked to leave by the community – who gave them an ultimatum of execution if they wouldn’t leave. Uphold God’s standard, period.
...yup, that's right. Homosexuality is illegal in Pakistan, but they won't kill all those damn fags, as the scriptures demand.

This sounds like a cult that is rapidly moving towards far greater extremism...how long is it going to be before Phelps start telling his family to execute homosexuals in the name of god?

Actually, he hates you also because you are a pagan follower of a corrupt religion, and doomed to spend eternity burning in the fires of hell, right alongside all those evil fags.

Enjoy yourself.

I wonder what is his hell and eternal punishment?

And particularly the fact that he considers the perversion of sodomy, and the perversion of following a false religion, to be pretty much the same thing! But yeah, its not surprising that a "religious" person finds the greatest unity with another "religious" person based on a foundation of hatred and intolerance. Sure sounds like something I wanna' join!

The Phelps' can always be counted on for a laugh. That's why Ron and Fez (Fez is gay) have Shirley as the show's official spiritual advisor.

I have to wonder if he is a repressed homosexual. His obsession with them is amazing. I can just see inside is head now.

"Those gays. They **** each other, they do **** to each other....".

He could spend hours on that each day.

You know, this reminds me of the drivers I saw in a truck stop in Texas. One got started about how them FAGS were ruining this country, what with all their anal sex, their kissing in public, and now they wanted to get married. God DAMN! What was NEXT?

Another one got started riffing about how horrible it was about them FAGS, and they were out recruiting our kids to become homos in training. Yup! They had to be DEALT WITH, and SOON!

I was about to say something, when another driver clapped a hand on my shoulder and let me know I ought to shut the hell up.

Personally, I was about to knock the hell out of them, but I saw them later getting into the sleeper in of one of their rigs, back in party row. Like they say, if the sleeper's rockin', don't bother knockin'...

And that was the point the other driver was making. All that vocal trash talk was simply one way for the gay truckers to identify themselves to one another without the real trouble finding out who they were, and what they were up to. They weren't at all upset about gays and lesbians, simply because they were gay themselves.

I've thought about that incident a lot over time. So now, when I hear about Phreaky Phred Phelps and his Philthy Phew, or I read more of SunniMan's hate, I realize, they're just trying to mask their own homosexuality. They're trying to make contact with their own.

SunniMan, seriously. No one here will hate you because you're gay. It's all right with us. Just come out of your closet, and we'll accept you for who you are. And at TAM, we'll even see if we can help you and your Longtime Companion get a room to yourselves. No prob.

We'll be here to support you.

It's often the case, but like it or not "gay bashers are masking their own tendencies" is no less stereotypical than the idiocy they spew.

Some people hate simply for the sake of hating.

Apparently Fred has noticed that there are five gay men in the UK but Peter Tatchell isn't one of them!?

He also neatly sums up all Brits with Boy George being "the very picture of England – with his head shaved and his face painted up like a girl."

Yeah Ron called Shirley to help Fez cope with the loss he was feeling over Ledger's death.

I don't think it helped.


Shirley: That movie promoted the sodomite lifestyle and will result in millions of people burning in Hell.
Ron: True, but the cinematography was amazing.

Phelps is a real class act...

I find him almost amusing. He's like a caricature of the lunatic, religious right preacher.

Like Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter..... except gay.

I find the Westboro Cult sickly hilarious. Every time that Phelps guy opens his mouth he sends me rolling in laugher. They're basically parodies of themselves -- its just too much! xD

Why are homophobes so fixated on gay men? Do they find lesbianism so repulsive? If so, why do they constantly fail to mention it?

To heck with 'God hates', what I really love is the 'if everyone were gay, we'd be unable to reproduce' line touted by people who don't realize how ridiculous it sounds. I love to hear it and go "do you like girls?", to which they'll probably reply yes, at which point I point out to them that if everyone was a girl we'd have no way to make kids.

Furthermore, I hate candy, because if we were to eat only candy we'd all develop diabetes.
I hate firefighters, because if everyone was a firefighter society would collapse.
I hate sailboats, because if every vessel on the sea was a sailboat...



What's really sad is that they're having innocent little kids, and passing the hate on to them. I feel bad for them, growing up to become hate mongers loathed by the progressives when they could become really nice people.

Who was it who 'defected' from the church and started talking about his experience with them? Can't even remember if it was a guy or a girl...

As long as so many religious conservatives for some reason are obsessed with controlling the sex lives of the people in their society, the fact that homosexual men by their very nature cannot engage in "wholesome" sex with each others will continue to be a main point against them.

I've thought about that incident a lot over time. So now, when I hear about Phreaky Phred Phelps and his Philthy Phew, or I read more of SunniMan's hate, I realize, they're just trying to mask their own homosexuality. They're trying to make contact with their own.
Some of them are, probably - it's like the old vampire tale plot twist in which it turns out that it is the fervent vampire hunter who is the vampire. But to say all of them are is simply over-generalizing.

Well, I get the impression that a majority of men find lesbianism to be... rather hot... while the reverse is not necessarily true.

The idea of a woman having sex with a woman also does not carry the immediate assumption of anal sex, which I think is distasteful to some because of the suggestion of coprophilia. However, anal sex between a man and a woman does not appear to hold the same stigma. It's something I haven't worked out yet.
