strong and stable with me, or...
Seriously, are you saying WBC don't pick and choose out of the bible? There is no way any one branch of a religion can have complete belief in any holy book because they are almost always full of contradictions and open to multiple interpretations - hence almost all religions have multiple branches of a particular faith. You seem to think that this particular crack pot group have complete belief, but it's only in the bits they choose to focus on. i.e. 'love thy neighbour' 'forgive those that trespass against us' etc. etc. seems to have passed them by completely!

I think I recall in The God Delusion some passages (scuse the pun) are pointed out which seem to advocate homosexuality and even rape.

Their website is possibly the strangest I have seen for ages. They seem to hate everyone and everything.

It does upset me how many absolute psychos share my Christian faith
Certainly nothing Christ-like about that lot, thats for sure

You'll find that this is actually a recurrent theme throughout all religions...

Agreed - some of us are fairly normal, though.

It might be worth noting that he was living proof that the republicans don't have the monopoly on these religious nutters. He stood as the democrat candidate in Kansas in the 80s.
And perhaps also worth mentioning that he did a lot of work as a lawyer fighting for black rights. I think (might be wrong) that he was even commended by one leading black rights group. Anyone now think he might not have been as pure evil as he has been portrayed on here?

It has to be said that Fred Phelps has done a lot to improve the human race....by dying and therefore leaving it.
Although I hold no religious beliefs I am almost inclined to hope that there is a Hell of some kind in his case so that the vile tosser can rot there for the rest of eternity.

Fair do's. I'm not defending him his religious nuttiness in any way, just saying that he was obviously an odd but complex character.
