Phelps excommunicated and dying

[FORD]

It could be a convenient excuse.... because they are afraid that somebody would protest their funerals.

For the record, I've seen a range of opinions on other boards from "throw their own shit right back at them" to a "positive" protest with signs that say things like "God Loves Fred (in spite of everything)" to "the best response to Phelps dying would be for nobody to say a word about him in public at all, because he doesn't deserve the recognition".

Of course, by merely posting that much, you already eliminated the third possibility, but I see the logic in it.

True, but I was joking about 'God Loves Fags' signs. :D

Ah, it was probably just a power trip the guy was on. Only a fucking moron would equate gay people with pedophiles. And the guy couldn't have been too stupid since he was a civil rights attorney. So it was probably all just some egoed out power trip. People will do anything to get noticed. Good or bad, just so long as you spell their names right.

Yeah Phelps grand daughter said they loved attention. It didn't seem like they made that much money. They could have been like that little prick in Houston with the big stadium church selling "Jesus wants you to be rich" and get rich in the process.

Founder of Westboro Baptist Church, Rev. Fred Phelps Sr. Dies

TOPEKA, Kansas – The Rev. Fred Phelps Sr., who founded a Kansas church widely known for its protests at military funerals and anti-gay sentiments, has died according to his son Tim Phelps and KSN sister station Kansas First News.

Phelps, 84, was being cared for in a Shawnee County facility, Westboro Baptist Church spokesman Steve Drain said Sunday.

Members of the Westboro church, based in Topeka, frequently protest at funerals of soldiers with signs containing messages such as “Thank God for dead soldiers,” and “Thank God for 9/11,” claiming the deaths are God’s punishment for American immorality and tolerance of homosexuality and abortion.

Westboro Baptist, a small group made mostly of Phelps’ extended family, inspired a federal law and laws in numerous states limiting picketing at funerals. But in a major free-speech ruling in 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the church and its members couldn’t be sued for monetary damages for inflicting pain on grieving families under the First Amendment.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights nonprofit group, has called Westboro Baptist Church a hate group.

Hopefully he's in hell now.

He will have to listen to this song or watch the video for all eternity.

Someone's grave plot is going to be soaking in piss.

Nah, remember this is Phelps we're talking about. I think he would be far more tormented by an endless loop of this.....

....even when the Village People are pretending to have phone sex with women, they still look really fucking gay doing so.

Some interesting facts about this douchebag. Did you know Freddy boy was once a Civil Rights lawyer?

Phelps was possessed by evil spirits. Look at the dudes face. That's why nobody can figure him out. There's no logic to pure evil. Once you pass the point of no return you do evil for evil's sake. Some of the biggest evil charades as religion. Certain catholics use the church to protect child molesters. Certain jews destroy people with their banking and cry the victim when the people they screwed over come after them. Certain muslims justify murder in the name of their holy book. It goes on and on. Religion is the grand cloak to hide evil behind.
