These guys are bad news and real nut cases. They picketed my church when they were here, even though my church is an evangelical congregation. Our pastor made the mistake of speaking out against their hateful attitudes as giving Christians as bad name.
Generally I oppose the use of the term "hate group" but in this case it seems to fit the bill.
They don't need to agree with the homosexual lifestyle but protesting a mans funeral is way over the line especially given the fact that the man died in service of our country.
Who are these *ssholes??? they each need a size 12 up their fundament.....
One day, a la the current Marcus Wesson trial in CA, we'll be hearing about the case involving this sick cult of loonytunes.
Let me make sure I understand; God is mad that Washington, D.C. tolerates/promotes the homosexual agenda, he then kills American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan?
I would think that God's aim was a little better then that.
Phelps is a Nazi. I remember his signs thanking God for 9/11 and saying Reagan is in Hell.
And the soldier wasn't even "of the lifestyle" -- his widow and kids were at the funeral! Even if he were, a funeral is a time, if nothing else, to love the sinner and hate the sin.
Send them to an area in Iraq where there are no American of Coalition troops. Better yet Iran. These folks know exactly what they are doing and why they are angering those not in lock step with them. They need to go ant "visit" with some Muslims who think in like manner.
Absolutely correct. Frankly the guy showed more heroism in his pinky than the entire bunch who plan to protest.
Too bad Marge turned out to be as big a retard as her sh!thead dad.
This is going to sound crazy, but at times I've wondered if Phelps is a "plant." His demonstrations are beyond hateful and the media just laps up his antics to smear Bible believing Christians. I mean, if I were a homosexual activitist, having a looney religious figure with a relatively small following making martyrs out of homosexuals... would be quite helpful to my cause of portraying Christians as hateful.
I've considered the same thing.
it seems this Phelps and his entourage of idiots think some people just need killing. I agree. They should look in a mirror and see who needs it, then act.
Phelps and his loonies are not right wing. They're simply nuts.
They should by some Nikes and "Just do it".
Your Pastor is quite correct in speaking out against this.
Anyone who declares: "Margie Phelps said her father is a self-declared prophet" - is already over the line.
No REAL prophet is "self-declared" - only GOD promotes. This guy is probably not even a born again Christian - which is supposed to be a given if you attend a Baptist Church. Some of the members of that church better get a clue because this Pastor Phelps is going to lead them into some bad stuff if they don't stop following him.
We all need to pray over this church .. pray for discernment for the members .. pray for GOD to open their eyes to see the truth about this FALSE prophet.
I think Phelps is pretty open about his hatred. The other groups are more insidious and try to hide it.
Agreed- possible 'false flag'? Doesn't sound even remotely like any Baptist congregation that I've ever been to. Lefties- usually on college campuses- are known for manufacturing 'hate' incidents.
Maybe he's just what he appears to be- maybe he isn't. I'm sure the investigative Freeposcope will shed some light.
