Having heard talk of "God hates Soldiers" protesting the funeral of hero, Matt Maupin, whose remains have been recently restored to his family, I went to the devil's den at Westboro's website and found confirmation. From Phelps' own website, which I won't link to, because I don't want to give him traffic, comes this gem:
Great American Ball Park 100 Main This is for the funeral of Army Staff Sgt. Keith M. Maupin. Thank God for another Dead Soldier! Whoohoo! That is some goodness right there!
One item that I noticed only recently comes from Matt's family, and is information they received early on about Matt's capture. In addition to the disturbing threat of someone being executed, and the military's inability to actually confirm that it was Matt was a message that the executioners permitted Matt to make. In it Matt said that all he wanted was to return to his wife and child.
The truth is that Matt had no wife or child.
Matt was signaling that he was being tortured and forced to speak. It was important for him to let his nation know that anything he said or did should be discounted.
Also significant is that Matt was taken prisoner in the Abu Ghraib region of Iraq. The media, which made a big deal of a phony, torture-atrocity at Abu Ghraib prison, in which prisoners were stripped of their clothing, has not mentioned the real atrocity of Abu Ghraib, the torture-death of an American Prisoner, SSG Matt Maupin.
This young hero deserves our support as he is laid to rest. His last known words were an attempt to uphold the dignity of his nation. What can we do for him?
Cincinnati, Ohio, Great American Ball Park, Sunday, 27 April, approximately at noon.
Concerned Americans should consider being present with airhorns, signs, whatever, to NON-VIOLENTLY block any view or hearing of Phelps and crew.

Man, this dude is working
really hard at
pissing off God, isn't he? I mean, like, working
overtime at it. I really would not want to be this guy when he shows up in front of the judgment seat of the Son, with the Father sitting right there.
I never cease to be amazed at the depth of human evil and depravity, but this is right down there with the carp...

I really would not want to be this guy when he shows up in front of the judgment seat of the Son, with the Father sitting right there. The truly sad fact is that Phelps and his crew are honestly convinced that they are doing God's work on Earth, and that they will be rewarded by Him for having kept the faith. My own personal opinion is that when that moment comes, Fred and his clan are in for quite a let-down.

You are right. God is not mocked.
God loves all His identified and potential children. It is, therefore, wrong to point out individuals whom we think God hates. One never can tell when God might take a murdering Paul and turn him into an Apostle.
Phelps and Westboro are so wrong.

I am not advocating violence against Phelps, but I would like to note that there’s no way the Westboro protests don’t fall under the “fighting words” exemption to free speech rights.

I had a feeling this would happen.
Our brothers and sisters in the Ohio PGR will not let this happen.
How I wish I could be there to help..

I am sobbing, this is so sad and so horrible. I am sending this out to my email list in case they know of others that can attend and show support for Matt and his family.

Me too, CMC. It is a testament to the self-restraint, commitment, and honor of the Patriot Guard Riders that they haven't beat the living tar out of the WBCers yet.

Your post reminded me of a rather apt quote:
"If God would have painted a yellow stripe on the backs of the elect I would go around lifting shirts."
- C.H. Spurgeon
The Irreverend Phelps and his clan appear to believe--true, I cannot see into one's heart--that homosexuality is the unforgivable sin that the Savior spoke of in the Gospels--or they're just plain nuts.
I would imagine that there is little to no Gospel preached at WBC.
