  • Our Favorite Hatemongering Cult Leader Is On His Deathbed

    Article here.

    This evil man, Fred Phelps, is the one exception to the discussion of religion here.

    Wonder how long his "church" will go on without him...

    ETA: You might also want to post it on Fratching, just in case discussions get a little heated.

      I have to wonder about the whole excommunication thing from last year - will his family be attending his funeral, and will the church be protesting at it? I do really have to wonder what the hell one does to get excommunicated from Westoboro Baptist!

          It'll go on for a while. The evil that men do lives after them.

            This is armchair psychology, granted, but I've found that people with extremist views get stuck in these self-reinforcing feedback loops of constantly having to distance themselves from/expel people too "Moderate" for the movement for fear their "message" will get lost/diluted amongst people who aren't really "true" to the ideals of the movement. (paranoid following of the "no true Scottsman" fallacy, essentially)

            And, as the circle of people who are sufficiently extreme to remain members shrinks, the, misstep it takes to get labeled a traitor and expelled gets ever more easy to make.

            It will eventually reach the point where picking up a spoon from the breakfast table with the wrong hand or wearing the wrong colored shirt or just being deemed insufficiently passionate about advancing the movement will get you tossed out. So it's not really surprising the WBC, which never had all that many members really, has reached these self-destructive levels.

            I"m reminded of an old joke that brilliantly mocks the underlying unsustainable nature of such hyper-exremist ideologies:

            One revolutionary is a genius

            Two revolutionaries is a party split.

                Just a thought-- someone should picket this bastard's funeral when he does kick the bucket. Do exactly the same thing this hate-cult does to them. See how they like it when the shoe's on the other foot.

                ...or is that delving into the dark side too much?

                  Nah . . . not with this group of Froot Loops it ain't.

                  Might give them some food for thought about their behavior . . . but there again that's probably asking too much.

                    It's sad he is going to die with such blind hate in his heart, and that will be his legacy. It's his choice to die that way, though.

                      Well, it is sinking to their level, but how else can you get through to them? If you can get through to them, as closed-minded as they are.

                      Back on the Fratching page, I said I might call up a DJ and dedicate this song to Phelps when he passed.

                          Frankly, I don't see a damn thing wrong with picketing his funeral. If I had the wherewithal to arrange something like that, I'd round up everybody I could find who had a family member or friend picked by the WBC idiots, and bring them along. Front and center would be a big sign reading "GOD HATES BIGOTS".

                          Yeah, yeah. I'm a bitch. Deal.
