Yeah, right. Can you imagine the furor arising from a president trying to make a law restrictring religious freedom? It does not matter how correct or moral it is, it would be distorted and mis-reported to the point where you look like Hitler. It will never happen, or else it would have already happened.jaeger115 wrote:Another reason why America needs me for president.

If you beat the living shit out of your kids and you're not religious, you go to jail. If you beat the living shit out of your kids and you say the Bible made you do it, then you're just expressing your beliefs. Hell, there are more than a dozen states which have EXPLICIT exemptions from their child-abuse laws for religious people, so that Jehovah's Witnesses won't go to jail for refusing medical treatments for their kids and thus causing them to die through what would normally be classified as parental negligence/abuse.

Life is all the eternity you get, use it wisely.
The good Reverend Phelps(I feel icky even saying that sarcasticly), has been reported , but like many abusers no one will press charges and for thoes who would, the statute of limitations has run out...
The existence and continued existence of Fred Phelps is one of my corner stone arguments for why I've moved from agnostic to athiest in the last few years. Any God who would allow such a monster to speak in his name is obviously eiether a) absent and uncaring b) dosen't exist in the first place and c) is undeservant of my belief and devotion.
Now if Fred phelps were to be smote in some amazing display of devine retribution and punisment, which were so damn common thousands of years ago, then I might change my mind But as it is hes free to spew violence and hatered, abuse children and terrorize an entire community without impasse.....

Actually, Phelps is not a Rev.- he was defrocked by the Southern Baptist Church.
When you are denounced by Falwell and defrocked by the SBC, it is a clear indication that you are REALLY fucked up.

..... the moment i read that Jerry Falwell thought he crossed the line, I knew this Phelps must be bad.
After the article...... I say we shatter this man both physically and metally, so that all that is left is a withered husk of a man and the pale shadow of a mind. Nothing short of that will do.

Oh my God, me and Falwell agree on something.
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

Interesting.
According to Phelps, God struck down the Columbia.
According to the Iraqis, Allah struck down the Columbia.
According to NASA, a malfunction struck down the Columbia.
I propose one method of settling this dispute. Phelps gets holy water, a cross, and a copy of the King James Bible.
The Islamic fundies of the world may pick one of their own to represent them. He gets boxcutters, an AK-47 and a copy of the Quran.
NASA may select one of their own to represent the instiution. He gets a spacesuit and the ability to call down satillite weaponry. Winner is whoever walks out alive.
