35W bridge in MN caused by gays? Fuck Fred Phelps!
 

From the article

Fred Phelps and his church are also the people that picketed soldiers funerals, much to the grief and dismay of families who lost their servicemembers overseas. Can someone just shoot this fucker already? I'm sure God himself has a few choice words for him. Man, the fact that this s-o-b hasn't been a victim of divine retribution makes me think there really must be no god!

..

Oh, no, no. That's what they did to Jesus, and look what happened. Don't martyr the guy, just ignore him.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there is a God.

He "gets away with this" because of free will...but will burn in hell.

someone needs to start a godhatesfredphelps.com site

/as a christian I cant believe I said that....but this man makes me want to puke

Shani, Fred Phelps thinks that God made you want to puke because He hates teh gays.

FP on his best day is a sideshow attraction, nothing more. He markets himself that way.

Really, in this associational society of ours, it takes almost no effort at all to ignore a person, corporation, entity....is it all that hard to ignore this guy? I could care so much more about this guy, but I don't.

Everyone has opinions; it is up to you, the intellectual, to surface the important messages made by the rational scholars so as not to get bogged down by the mass of an entire society's take on any given issue.

Be wise.

Oh goody, a Jerry Falwell wannabe. Whatever happened to "love one another"? Perhaps someone should torture him to death all the while saying it is acceptable because there are gay people. What a moron, what an utter nincompoop.

This actually makes me feel bad for the christians that are worth a darn- and that takes some doing!

Falwell might've had some really bad soundbites, but he's never even been close to Phelps' level.

I find it hard to ignore people who so publicly cause grief for others.

Those darn gays always flying planes into buildings, starting hurricanes, and now collapsing bridges.

:no: :shakehead: :no:

I've often wondered if Fred were to be surrounded, and sheilded from the media, by...oh, let's say about 50 American Legionaires...and he just happened to "trip" on his unfortunately untied shoelaces...several dozen times...would anyone care?
And would anyone question the planetary allignment that must have been in place when he "fell" on his picket sign and it got jammed so far up his ass. I mean the odds must be staggering. Unless...God had a hand in it?

Does this mean I shouldn't have crossed that bridge when I came to it, thousands of times?

If that happens, it's because God hates fags.

yeah - i have to say, i'm happy to ignore this idiot most of the time...but if he showed up at the funeral of a family member...i really think he and his retinue would be dead or seriously injured before the service started. i'm just amazed it hasn't already happened.

i don't give a shit about his message, but protesting funerals is just so crass that an asswhipping seems entirely appropriate.

I know, I mean just last week I got caught outside in the rain without an umbrella. I knew it was God sending me a message and I've never regretted my tolerance of other people more than at that time. I'm sure the gays had a hand in it, fucking gays!

Your morning smile: Every day the sun rises, worlds turn, and someday Fred Phelps will be dead.

I don't know anything about this article and I didn't read anyone's comments here but I just want to say:

Fuck Fred Phelps.

that is all

That old fucker should get acupuncture... with those marrow bone needles.
Fuck him.

His sizable family is an army of lawyers. It's been theorized - I forget, maybe there have already been some incidences - that he might be hoping for such an altercation. LAWSUIT TIME!

I didn't see anything. Did you see anything? Nobody saw anything? Well...musta tripped. Sorry Fred. Next time, make sure that your shoelaces are securely tied.

God wouldn't have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah if there had been ten righteous people. Excluding the estranged children, Phelps has 90 family members in his church. This means that at least 81 of the family are not righteous, otherwise God's precedent of not allowing the destruction of places with more than 10 righteous people would be null and void, and an omnipotent being can't be wrong.
If you don't hate gays, you're not safe from God's punishment.
There's a reason he won't go anywhere without arming ten or twenty church members with video cameras.

Pussy.

Fred Phelps makes me want to rethink my decision not to post on the "Who would you pick" thread. This guy is a cancer on the world. It's hard to ignore a group of people standing across the street yelling "god hates fags" at some mother's funeral. Karma is a bitch, sometimes it just takes a little while to catch ya. It'll catch up with him though. Have faith.

i dunno... some people seem impervious to karma. It's sad :(

Impervious? I don't think so.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love,
What on earth you tryin' to do,
It's up to you, yeah you.

(From John Lennon's Instant Karma)

I don't really know who Fred Phelps is. But I'm guessing he's a pretty miserable guy. Imagine living with that? :shakehead:

The reason "karma" hasn't caught up with him:

karma can't think of a good (bad?) enough punishment to make up for the relentless avalanche of insanity that pours from his lips and into the thoughts and actions of his followers.

Precisely.

I really wish someone would start a "FredPhelpsIsGay.com" spoof site, that will put up fliers near his, and go to the protests and "protest" there, and basically just piss him off.

That would be fantastic.

Geez, you are SO right on the money. Thank you for being an ispiration and breath of fresh air among so much stagnation! WOW, and thanks again.

I feel sorry for Phelps... he is clearly mentally ill. But with his hateful doctrine, everyone hates him so much that all they think is "What a bastard" and not about why he's doing this. The Wikipedia article goes into some detail with respect to what his expatriated family members have said about him. He needed help a long time ago and never got it. Well, I don't really feel _sorry_ for him per se, but I do think he needs to be institutionalized along with his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper.

:thumbsup: are you using that as a pejorative?:thumbsup:

LOVE THE SINNER - IT'LL DRIVE HIM INSANER.:rolleyes:

If the world had no homosexuals, he would find something else to crusade against. I think he needs something or someone to hate in order to feel important. Pity, because he could do alot of good with all that energy, instead of promoting hate and inflicting pain on others.

godhatesminnesota.com? Laughable if he wasn't so damn serious about it.

I think you need to stop looking for ulterior motives.

Apparently he's planning on picketing Jerry Falwell's funeral. Go figure.

according the the reports on Falwell's funeral..6 phelp people showed up at the funeral

Were they there in a show of support or protest? You never really know with those Phelps people.

Why can't they be sued for the inflammitory statements they make?

Absolutely ridiculous. Honestly I have nothing else to say, other then he is a retard.
