I think I would have shown less restraint than these veterans.
These people are total wackos. They protested at my church, which actually is a Bible-believing evangelical church. They apparently don't like anyone who is not actively calling for gays to be burned at the stake.
Those dirty SOB's.
Absolutely crazy.
Masking tape? No. Duct tape, more like.
Agree ...some day a good old asswhuppin is due this turdpolishing trash. Hope I'm present to ensure it's done right proper.
"The soldier is in hell now, you believe?" Mahoney asked.
"Absolutely," Phelps-Roper said.
I can't believe this sorry excuse of a preacher would say such a terrible thing. He's judging the soul of that young man who died serving our country. The Bible tells us VERY clearly NOT to judge anyone. God is the ONLY Judge.
Mine, too. I'm Catholic. Their signs referred to our dear old pastor, a frail man approaching 80 years of age, as a "fag priest".
These people will protest at the wrong funeral, with the right family, one day and it will be in the headlines.
Where do they get the money to fly themselves all over the country?
He's buddy-buddy with Al Gore. The Democrats are behind this fool.
Ne zot! Who writes this dialogue? It's worse than "Star Wars Episode 3"!
Fred Phelps is a flaming homosexual.
It wouldn't be so bad if Fred Phelps wasn't such a pole-slobbering donut-punching gayboy.
Do a little research on the left's methodology.[wink]
There are a ton of churches here in Tejas, but I still haven't come across an "Evangelical Church." Are they denominational????
Is there a freeper out there who can start a ping list of military funerals that are going to be attacked by Phelps? I'll try to go to any in Eastern Kansas or Western Missouri. I'm sure other freepers can be mobilized.
Sadly, the church has become lax in discpilining it's own. A group of Baptist pastors needs to go to Mr. Phelps and bring correction to him. If that doesn't work, they need to go to the Baptist association, and if that fails, they need to go public and the Baptist association needs to toss him out.
For a Baptist, who have been great at developing systematic theology, Phelps doesn't seem to grasp much of the gospel's point, which is to love the lost. God doesn't hate gays any more than he hates murderers or gossips or adulterers or liars or theives, which is to say that he doesn't hate them at all. He may hate their sin, but last I heard, gay sex was listed right there with drunkenness, slander, coveting, lying, killing, fornicating, selfishness, and anything else we know to be wrong.
The Lord has told us that judgment first will come to the House of God. Fred needs to be told that as an ambassador for Christ, his representation of Christ by presenting the Gospel as bad news is not likely to be viewed by God as something to be put up with for much longer. Pride goeth before a fall, as it says....
I'm thinking they must
be financed by Left Wing nuts,
who get a big kick
seeing "Christians" look
like unbalanced lunatics.
They're awful people.
I don't think he's part of any Baptist association. "Baptist" is like "Catholic"; it's not a trademark. Anyone can call themselves a "Baptist pastor".
Phelps is a stooge in the service of, and probably also in the pay of, the loony left. His purpose is to make serious Christians look like freaks in front of the media. The "church" he really belongs to is the church of the far left.
When Phelps' gang protests, they hold gaudy signs designed to offend, walk around, and maybe chant some slogans. They don't sing hymns. They don't pray together. Doesn't sound like any Christian protest I've ever been involved with.
