Ah, Fred-boy. How you grace us again with your infinite loathsomeness.

Remember Fred Phelps and his lot, people? I'm sure you do. So you already know your blood pressure is about to rise, I'm sure. (Got link from aelie_baby. Thanks.)

The controversial anti-homosexual Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., has canceled its plans to stage a protest at the funerals of the five Amish girls executed in their Pennsylvania school, a church official said Wednesday.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of church's pastor, told FOXNews.com the group canceled the protests in exchange for an hour of radio time Thursday on syndicated talk-show host Mike Gallagher's radio program.

Oh SWIMMINGLY. So, for this lot of chaaaaaaarming people not to behave like batshit pond-scum with the tact and grace of bee-stung ogres, they get to spew their hateful shit for an hour on some US national radio?

I demand an hour on that show for homosexuals, Swedes, Amish, soldiers and anyone else the "church" might have insulted so they can talk about what a small dick Fred Phelps has and what his obsession with semen might entail nudge nudge wink wink.

Fair's fair, after all.

Quite frankly, a God that let Fred Phelps into heaven and gave him a pat on the head for a job well done wouldn't be one I'd want to follow, even if I did believe he existed. Just... No.

Phelps's version of the Bible sure ain't the one I read. Just like Osama bin Laden apparently read another Qu'ran than I did. To every religion their own asshat, I guess.

Jesus saved his harshest words for the Pharisees. Frankly, I doubt he's too thrilled to be associated with Phelps.

"To every religion their own asshat"--I like that.

Even little atheist me can heartily agree with that, oh yes.

Heh. Well, it is rather true. I mean, even the Buddhist have had some, and as religions go, Buddism has had relative little shit to its name. I think sometimes some of these people seem to think being a believer makes them automatically a good person. But being a good person, that's basically fighting all your worst instincts every day. They certainly don't go away just because you read the Bible/the Qu'ran/the Talmud/etc. It's an ever on-going work in process.
