I really thought this was over last night and I didn't check back until now. I'll give you the fact that my statement was "abrasive", but the simple fact here is the root of this man's hatred is religion. That's all my point is. There isn't a single person here who can say that his hate doesn't come from religion. If you think I'm wrong then you need to go look at the GodHatesFags website. That is pure hate, and in his mind, and many others, his god hates gay men and his bible says they should be killed. Quote:
Now, people can say I was off topic with my original statement, but I wasn't. Religion is the cause of his hate. Period! How is the root of this man's hate not part of the topic? Someone please explain........ |

Religion by itself is not bad or hateful. It's only when nuts like this Phelps character start distorting it and overlooking its basic premise that problems arise. Even if Phelps wasn't religious, he'd make up some other rationale for his irrational hatred. |

I've spent the better part of the afternoon researching Fred Phelps, his history, his family and Westboro Baptist "Church" and religion isn't the cause, it's the excuse. The man is clearly insane and evil.

And Lebell, since you researched him a bit. I'm curious. In your opinion, what is the cause of his hate? |

From what I read, his father was a strict and somewhat harsh man, but no more than many fathers.
Relatives of Phelps back in Missourri don't understand exactly what has caused Fred to go off the deep end, but his two oldest sons recount that there father always had anger and hatred and now that his children are adults, Fred has switched from beating them to hating gays. My own opinion so far is that there is real evil in the world, and Fred Phelps is one manifestation of it. And I think you are right, Phelps uses religion to spread his hate, the same way some mean use women for sex and use children for profit. Consider that local Topeka religious leaders regularly denounce Phelps or that Fred regularly attacks other churches and their members.

Why are you all talking about some wack-job?
This guy wants his 15 minutes of fame, and you are helping give it to him.

I think that in response to this kind of atrocity, what we have to do is stop pointing fingers as much and do wht we can to ensure that the children of the people who support this kind of thing are educated to be tolerant and are still able to maintain healthy religious beliefs.

Kidnap him, dress him in womens clothing, knock him out, and dump him in an alley in the Castro District of San Fran. Problem solved.

making mass and vicious assumptions like the ones made here are general suicide. no different then the basises for the wars people speak so adimantely about. dont stereotype. dont assume. learn all you can, its the only saving grace we have.
Yes religion has messed up. but it wasnt meant to be evil (coming from an agnostic it means something) but its used as leverage to do bad things in the name of good.

Here is the most important question: Don't these people have jobs?
I mean, how do they have so much time to go around and hate? Shouldn't they be helping their kids, taking care of the poor or something else that Jesus actually espoused? Nothing worse than assholes like these who take what they want from religion just so they can hate. |
