Alright, I had heard of this Pastor Fred Phelps guy who was some radical giving Christianity a bad name that went around being crazy and stuff, but after a small discussion about him in a class of mine (where I found he is even crazier than I originally thought) I decided to do the Google thing on him and -- wow -- this guy is laughably insane.

How do people actually hear what this guy says and think, "Gee, this is one smart preacher. I mean, he's so smart he refers to homosexuals as "fags" and says Mr. Rogers is in hell. Yes, he seriously says that. Why, you ask? Well, it's simple really -- he worked for PBS, and PBS says homosexuality is just fine with them. So, Mr. Rogers is obviously is going to hell.
BT: ...Let's talk about the Mr. Rogers protest. I didn't think Mr. Rogers was gay?
Fred: Well, I don't know if he's gay or not but he's one of the foremost proponents of 'It's OK to be Gay.'... You've got a guy [Mr. Rogers] who has got millions of children's ears and he says he's gonna shoot straight to them about the weighty matters of life, death, divorce -- and then he steps gingerly around the fact that if you mess with that fag lifestyle you gonna split hell wide open.
BT: Well, he never came out and said that on the show, though, as far as I know…
Fred: Well, no he never came out and told children to experiment with homosexual sex like his compadres do. His compadres being The National Education Association and PBS network. They urge you that it's okay to be gay.If you read the entire interview, you'd see this guy fails to make any points regarding why Mr. Rogers is going to hell. I guess because the church he was ordained at says it's okay to be gay (but I doubt they did anyway back years and years ago when ol' Rog was ordained) and because on his show after he sang to us as children and put on those pleasant post-Depression-era sweaters he didn't look us in the eyes and say, "Okay children, today we're gonna learn how to not be gay." Sorry, Mr. Rogers, but since you didn't say that, Mr. Phelps says I can't be your neighbor anymore.

What I find sort of, well, hypocritical here is Freddy Phelps says he doesn't hate homosexuals. Actually, he loves them. As a matter of fact he's the
only one who loves them:
FRED: Oh, hogwash. I'm the only one who loves these beasts. I'm the only one that loves them. It plainly says in Leviticus: 19 that "if you love these Sodomites, you've got to warn them that they're going to hell or if you don't you hate your brother and your heart."
BT: So, you're doing this out of love? You're trying to save people?
FRED: Yes, we call them Love Crusades...Right, Fred... riiiiiight, you love homosexuals -- these beasts -- and go on dangerous, but essential crusades of love. We can tell you love them because the name of
your website is
God Hates Fags. It's obvious that your love is overflowing for them.
Okay, well sure, Fred, you want to rid the world of homosexuals. I prefer heterosexuality too and the Bible does say it's wrong. Alright, you think Mr. Rogers is going to hell. I think the Teletubbies are. But where we really see how you should be locked up with the likes of Mike Tyson and Michael "Just Call My Son Blanket" Jackson is when you start saying crap like "
God Hates Sweden and
Canada!" Check out the sites. He proclaims in bold, large letters "THANK GOD FOR ALL DEAD SWEDES!!!" This is because Sweden is a land of sodomy, bestiality, and incest. It's what the travel agents never tell you!
The most annoying and insane aspect of his preaching (if you can really call it that -- it sounds more like drunken, hillbilly ranting to me). "Thank God for Katrina and 9/11." I mean, c'mon, is this guy serious? I have a feeling he doesn't really believe the stuff he says, he just does it because he thinks they'll someday make a TV movie about him. Just check out a few of these quotes put out there after Hurricane Katrina:
"New Orleans, symbol of America, seen for what it is: a putrid, toxic, stinking cesspool of fag fecal matter."
"America is irreversibly doomed. It is a sin to pray for the good of this evil fag nation."
"It is a sin NOT to rejoice when God executes His wrath and vengeance upon America."
"Pray for more dead bodies floating on the fag-semen-rancid waters of New Orleans."
"America became WBC's [Westboro Baptist Church, this crazy guys homes church] terrorist. So, God, in retaliation, became America's Terrorist."Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahacoughhackcoughhahahahahahaha. God, because America and most Americans don't like this guy and think he's a nutcase (he says America tried and failed to bomb and take out his church... like if American really wanted to bomb this place they wouldn't succeed... puh-lease), punished us with Hurricane Katrina. What were we thinking, Fred? We'll stop making fun of you and your craziness now.

I hate to give him even more publicity than he already has, but here's some sites not mentioned above regarding this crazy bastard anyway. If you're feeling sad, they'll give you a good laugh:
