It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I'm not too big to rejoice.   Given the opportunity I would gleefully dance on his grave.  Right after I piddled on it.  Same for Rush Limbaugh.  A wise man once said, "Never let decency or common sense stand in the way of vindictiveness."*

It's real (http://www.kshb.com/news/state/kansas/family-fred-phelps-sr-founder-of-controvesial-westboro-baptist-church-dies-at-age-84) I dunno, I don't really have many strong feelings on the subject.  It's funny because if you'd talked to me about this years ago I'd probably have told you how pleased I was that the guy who was responsible for my departure from Christianity was dead.  I thought I'd have some kind of speech prepared for this occasion but I don't.

Nah, I don't think we should piss on his grave or dance on it.

Instead, find a gay couple and have them get MARRIED over his grave. :D If that won't make him roll over, nothing will.

I don't take pleasure in anybody's death, as a rule.  I don't take pleasure in Phelps' death, to be honest.

But I sure as hell ain't gonna mourn the asshole, either.

Roll over? He'll start spinning so fast it'll reverse the rotation of the Earth.

With the news links from other posters of this thread, I'm not surprised that the "church" is falling apart.  I first got the displeasure of knowing about them when they were protesting at Matthew Shepard's funeral.  After enlisting, I learned how they were protesting military funerals to further promote their agenda.

Judging from what excommunicated member Nate Phelps stated from his experience growing up in the "church" and from the interviews of independent reporters, it seemed to me that the WBC was trying to break not only the LBGT community's will, but America's will to resist being controlled by Fred Phelps and the "church".

With Fred gone, I really don't think the church will last long because of the power struggles, the defection of the younger members, and the excommunication of senior leaders that were able to keep the "church" together.

So... Fred Phelps is dead, about fucking time. I really can't imagine what it must have been like to die with so much hate. I just hope that now that the founder is gone, the Westboro Baptist Church will now start to collapse under it's own weight of in-fighting.

I know it's in poor taste to celebrate the death, even the death of somebody as vile as Fred Phelps. I still couldn't help but sing a little bit of "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" with "Fred Phelps" replacing "The Witch".

Well, in that case, I'll certainly be pleased with seeing Phelps' obituary.
