Can you imagine a children's show called "Mr. Phelps' Neighborhood"???

This is interesting!!! But if the Westboro Baptist Church won't let people outside the Phelps family in, wouldn't that be illegal??

Does anyone remember SNL's Mr. Robinson sketch? The one with Eddie Murphy before he was pathetic? The one with Mr. T coming in and saying "The new word for today, kids, is PAIN!!!"?

The WBC is a church in name only - it lost its tax-exempt status about 20 years ago, as the Feds determined that it was nothing more than a tax shelter for Fred Phelps (seeing as how its only congregants were Phelps's own family).

I'm just remembering that one "Twilight Zone" where that Neo-Nazi fucktard was getting money and advice from Hitler operating behind the scenes. I always think about that when Phelps get's mentioned....

Meanwhile ...

Phelps: Jesus Christ is the One True Savior!
Christian: I agree!

Phelps: The Bible is the Word of God!
Christian: I agree!
Theologian: Depends on what you mean by "Word of God." Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. It all depends on what is meant by that phrase.
Phelps: The Bible is the absolute literal word of God!
Christian: Well ... maybe some parts, I guess ...
Theologian: No chance. There are too many obvious contradictions to believe it could be literal. For example, the Book of Joshua is inaccurate compared to the Book of Judges when looking at the invasion of Canaan. The archaeological evidence supports the version rendered in Judges, not the version in Joshua.
Phelps: God hates fags!
Christian: Well, maybe ... there might have been some translational errors, since the original text never really referenced homosexuals except in one part ...
Theologian: There's no textual evidence for it. The only attempts to claim otherwise rely on bad translations of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek.

Sorry, just a little nitpicking since we've covered all of that in courses.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

He condems him because he wasn't a bigot like him, and I'm guessing envy plays a part in it too. After all, Mr. Rogers was an ordained minister, while Phelps was defrocked.

Also, Phelps had 12 kids. Are they all as bigoted as him? Or have they decided to accept logic instead?

I don't think Phelps is even relavent anymore. Back when he was picketing Mathew Shepherd's funeral it was shocking, when he said America was being punished by God for being soft on "fags" after 9-11 it was old. Now I think he's lapsed into unaware self parody. I mean, honestly. The guy is less popular than the KKK and even other fundies can't stand him.

He doesn't need to be martyred, he needs to be ignored.

Phelps is a major asshole and most of us wish he'd get hit by a bus.

But at this point there isn't much point to this thread though. I see no point to repeating ad naseum how bad Phelps is. So I'm locking the thread.
