Fred Phelps: God Punished England for Gays

[wicket]

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/07/08/right-wing-preacher-england-punished-for-gays/


Fred Phelps, head of the Westboro Baptist church, isn’t content with just celebrating hate crimes or the death of American soldiers. The group has now posted a press release in response to yesterday’s horrific attacks on London.

See their release in the expanded post.

Thank God for the bombing of London’s subway today - July 7, 2005 - wherein dozens were killed and hundreds seriously injured. Wish it was many more.

“But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction; truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.” Jer. 7:28.

England: Island of the Sodomite Damned




These two have let England to irreversible doom, pushing the fag agenda. It is now a crime to preach God’s truth about fags in England. Blair wants to be president (Antichrist) of EU (European Union), whose laws also criminalize Gospel preaching.

:grr: :grr: :grr:

1. And they let BLACKS vote in England, too! Horrors!

Not to mention the bloody Irish and those awful Pakistanis...

[mtnester]

66. Don't forget wimen

they also let their wimenfolk vote


Oh God has a SPECIAL hell awaiting Mr. Phelps.

[NewJeffCT]

2. then god will be punishing every nation on earth pretty soon

I guess the End Times are here then.

[JimmyJazz]

3. He really is certifiably bat shit mad.

[GiovanniC]

5. It's Almost Hard to Get Angry Over Anything He Says

He's more of a caricature or parody of himself and far-right-wing wackos than anything else.

[youthere]

11. Best thing for the Dems is to give assholes like this

AS MUCH leeway as possible.

[spindoctor]

40. Exactly right!

I was wondering how this idiot continues to get publicity for his wacko undertakings. At the end of the day he is definitely not helping the case for the fundamentalists though. lol

Have at it!

[mmonk]

49. Yep

This man should get alot of air coverage. Let's shame the dark soul of the religious right by exposing their most verbal nutjob.

[Hobarticus]

4. This guy's gonna turn up dead...

Not threatening him, myself, but damn, he keeps this up, and someone's gonna shut him up for keeps.

[derby378]

7. My guess is dead by his own hand

If you remember Bill Hicks'prophecy of Jesse Helms' demise, you'll know what I'm talking about. The key phrase here is I've been a bad boy.

[wicket]

10. Hicks is missed so much

I wish he were still around- he'd be having a field day with the current state of the world.

[Fuzz]

29. I think that often

[HeeBGBz]

21. I wish God would smite his rancid ass

A waste of space if ever there was one.

[DaddyBear1]

43. He and his ilk....

have been online a LOOOOOOOOONG time with their filth... makes me sahmed to be a Christian at times when supposed "menof God" talk like that and MEAN it.... how arrogant... must be kin to the Shrub.

[jonnyblitz]

6. where is the "SAVE THE GERBILS" sign??

I actually saw one of his "church members" carrying that one in a photo once. :P

[madinmaryland]

and God is punishing the US for Fred Phelps. n/t

[DBoon]

17. God is punishing the US *with* Fred Phelps

nt

[kayice]

20. Please, not all Kansans think the Phelps' way although more

Kansans seem to be starting to think like this idiot. Kansas is really becoming 'Oz land'. :(

[porphyrian]

8. Christ, baptists are so fucking stupid.

If I never have to deal with one again, it will be too soon.

[Gato Moteado]

9. fred phelps: the freeper preacher

more evidence that freepers and their ilk are human garbage.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Damn, Canada and Spain are in for some real hellfire and brimstone...

:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

38. LOL

Oh yes. I guess by Phelps insane mind God was warning them not to leagalize gay marriage. Then why hasn't Canada ever been attacked like that???

[XemaSab]

48. Spain had some pre-emptive smiting

last year.

The almighty KNEW that they were considering legalizing gay marriage, see... sort of like * KNEW that Saddam was considering nuking the US.

[ghostsofgiants]

52. Ahh, so God KNEW they would elect Zapatero...

Who would legalize gay marriage, but couldn't use his infinite power to stop them, so he smited (smote?) them instead. Makes sense.

[XemaSab]

54. It was a warning

but it was a warning they didn't heed, because they are infidels.

True Christians know that when God smites you, it's a sign that He wants you to vote Republican. Even in countries where they don't have a republican party.

[ghostsofgiants]

55. It's all so clear to me now

Thanks! :hi:

[XemaSab]

56. You're welcome.

Any time.

:hi:

[lady lib]

13. Fred Phelps needs medication and a padded room.

Don't waste your energy on Fruit Loop Freddie - he's irrelevant and not worthy. I've put him on my "ignore list."

[dogday]

14. What an Idiot and Dumbass

When the President's politcies fail miserably, time to pull out the Gay bashing. This has got to be one of the most miserable groups I have ever had the distain to come across. May God take his hand and swipe them off the face of the earth.

[Richard Steele]

15. Since it was actually SPAIN who made the most "Pro-Gay Rights" news...

...in the last few weeks,
I'd say GOD's aim is as bad as Freds!

Of course, _MY_ God is more of a "lightning bolt" guy anyway;
Fred is worshipping a god who plants bombs in public places?

[wtbymark]

16. This is the same wack job

...that was ridiculled so badly on a street in Plattsburgh NY he had to have police protection to leave. He comes to Plattsburgh ever year to try and disrupt the Mayor's Cup (sailboat races, festivities, concerts, etc.) Plattsburgh's mayor happens to be gay. The citizen's had enough of his hate speach (they even call him the minister of hate on the local news) and loudly told him to leave - priceless.

[wicket]

19. his group has been here in Massachusetts a lot lately

Protesting dead soldiers' funeral :grr:

[TlalocW]

18. Not to stereotype or anything

But the man looks like a movie version of an old, former-drag queen with no fashion sense. He wears his ridiculous cowboy hat with a pink cowboy shirt, and it looks like he has make-up on. I think he's had some "unnatural urges," and he's attacking everyone else instead of dealing with himself.

TlalocW

[jmowreader]

47. Of COURSE Phelps has makeup on!

Look, Fred loves to be on television. He lives for it. And you must wear makeup when you're on TV or your face goes flat.

So yeah, I figure he gets out of bed in the morning, drinks a pot of coffee, shaves, eats breakfast and puts his face on, so if there's a television camera outside his door he'll be ready.

[Fescue4u]

22. Gheesh. If God were so inclinded, he would do "better"

If God were so inclined to punish gays, he could do alot better than this.

He could for instance strike every gay person dead, as opposed to killing a bunch of innocents (he's not Allah after all).


Of course its all bullshit anyway. For athiest its all a bunch of bunk, and for real Christians they know that God doesnt work that way.

[baby_mouse]

23. Surprise surprise

It's FRED. Hi, Fred.

I wonder what happened to him so that he ended up this way?

[DaddyBear1]

24. My dear Lord in heaven.....

no wonder the world looks at we Christians like we are IDIOTS at times.... what a CROCK!!!!! I tell ya, preachers need to go back to preachiing Jesus and leave such matters to God.... what a horrible thiing to say and advocate and put on the net for an already scoffing world to read!

I got a gut feeling, God disapproves more of Phelps than one single gay right now. Yuck!

[wicket]

25. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[DaddyBear1]

42. Hahahah

Thank ya.... so kind.

[BiggJawn]

26. Bombs in London=GAWD...Fire in his "Church"="Fags"...

Guess it would never enter Fred's little atrophied brain in a zillion years that maybe what happened to his "church" all those years ago was GAWD trying to tell him to change his ways?

No, These mental defectives NEVER get "divine retribution" visited upon THEM, it's always the "Evil-doers" who did it...

[Deja Q]

27. I wish God would smite him. That way his followers can blame gays again.

Maybe they'll then say "Phelps was a phag!" and pick a new figurehead...

What a bunch of degenerate opportunistic thugs they are...

[jsamuel]

28. so... is he saying that the terrorists are the hand of god?

that sounds like he is part of Al-Queda

[amazona]

30. is this dude completely insane?

I sometimes wonder if it isn't all a big put-on. I mean he's just a tad over-the-top, isn't he? How does he preach that crap with a straight face? Maybe he's just making a good income sheering the sheeple and blowing it all in Vegas like David Duke.

[im10ashus]

31. Me thinks the squeaky wheel needs oiled.

He is such a LATENT homosexual. Anyone can see that. He may have sired 13 spawns of satan, but that doesn't make him hetero. I wish someone would just set fire to he and his whole lot.

[NoPasaran]

32. This is nothing new

It's so obvious that the Battle of the Somme was retribution for Oscar Wilde.

[Taxloss]

33. Why would God hate cigarettes so much? Is he asthmatic?

I don't understand why people don't just ignore and ostracise this awful, hate-filled, LITTLE man.

[jane_pippin]

34. Hold on....Phelps, Assholery, Linked?

What ARE the odds.

Didn't Zappa have a song, Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk? If so, someone should cover it.

[KamaAina]

35. I hope he goes to England to spread the... fertilizer

hate speech is a very serious crime over there. He would soon find himself in a British gaol, assuming the position he has lovingly drawn on the right of his "UK Sin" sign.

[wicket]

36. I hope he does that too!

:thumbsup:

[FreedomAngel82]

37. This guy is a freakin nut!

Why does anybody listen to this guy? Why isn't he in a mental hospital for his insaneness?

[maveric]

39. And God punished the Yankees in the ALCS last year too.

All those gays in NYC!

[GeekMonkey]

41. If there was a god, there'd be no fred phelps

of course, there'd be no need for religion at all either

man I wish there was a god!

[raysr]

44. Well, that let's the

terrorists off the hook. It must be the Xians that did the bombing then!

[ComerPerro]

45. Fred Phelps supports terrorism. What a suprise

Almost makes me think that his organization should be investigated.

Or at the very least, it makes me think that maybe the act of terrorism was committed by a bunch of right wing religious fundimentalists.

Oh, yeah... Al Qeada...

same difference...

[Zorra]

46. Just being Fred Phelps must be the lowest tier of hell. n/t

[BushFungus]

50. Ugh.

I am a Christian and let me tell you, this guy and the god hates fags group doesn't represent Christianity at all. They are like the KKK whereby they use Scripture for promoting hatred. The two cannot be reconciled. Therefore, they are not Christian at all.

[Dr Fate]

51. I have a real problem believing that these guys actually believein this...

...and yet they do- staggering.

[hyphenate]

53. Fred Phelps

needs to be impaled and his head put up on one of the gate spires like Charles the First of England in 1649. Once the world sees him for the complete demon he really is, the world will reject him, and bury him and his cult in the annals of useless people.

[gollygee]

57. If there is a god, he will be an absolute expert on hell pretty soon

he's getting old.

[muriel_volestrangler]

58. Phelps is obviously a rabid nutcase. But why does the media report him?

They don't repeat the ravings of the inmate of secure psychiatric hospitals. Why the fuck repeat his homophobic obsession, which bears no realtion to reality in any way whatsoever? It's irresponsible.

[kliljedahl]

[Initech]

60. COMMITT THIS MAN!

In fact, I'm thinking of starting my own online campaign to get Fred Phelps committed to a maximum security mental hospital for the rest of his life. What an asshole.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

61. He's such a case...

It really takes the scum of the earth to make a statement like that. Goes to show what "Compassionate Conservatism" is really all about.

[CatholicEdHead]

62. What happens in the world that is not the fault of gays?

According to Phelps? EVERYTHING that happens is apparently their doing somehow, no matter how you stretch it.

[theearthisround]

63. As Jesus would have!

[Cha]

64. Let England know what a

repuke WHACK JOB we got here in the USA!

This guy needs to meet some of his KARMA Quick!

[Canuckistanian]

65. I keep thinking that Westboro will end with a whimper..

Phelps's whimper as he disintegrates into a quivering mass of drool on his church floor. And his family walks quietly away from him saying "Thank GOD that's finally over".

[CatholicEdHead]

68. His goal may be to "take over the world"

as his children and future generations multiply.

[Canuckistanian]

69. His children will end up in mental institutions

Or meth addicts. That much hatred does not a normal person make.

[Norwood]

67. Wow just ..... wow

:puke:
