For the record Ack, Neither Fred Phelps nor his equally graceless daughter (the woman in the video) represents any major religion. They are members of a cult composed of one angry man and his extended family:

"Mr. Phelps' group started protesting funerals last summer with a variety of placards including one that read, "Thank God for Dead Soldiers." Mr. Phelps, who had theological training at John Muir Junior College in Pasadena, Calif., started his Westboro cult in 1955 after a Baptist church kicked him out; Westboro is not associated with any Baptist denomination. Since then Mr. Phelps' group has grown around his family's 10-home compound in Topeka; he doesn't allow members to marry outside of the congregation."

What is sad is that good people of faith, no matter what the religion, get labeled as "nutjobs" or "religion fanatics" because of a few bad apples.

You know 'goon, everytime I get to the point where I really have no faith in organized religion as being a positive influence on mankind someone like you comes along and makes me realise that a few of the people that do follow an organised practicing religion really do make a difference.   for doing what you do.

I'm a Catholic and I believe that there are things God do for a reason.

However, I do not believe he intended us to believe it is acceptable to go to places of mourning and saying farewell to those who have passed to protest and thank God for diseases, IEDs, dead soldiers, etc.

I believe in my God and I know deep down inside that he has a special place for people like her and their followers. They will be in for a rude awakening when people realize that God gives them the power of choice and a God-given choice is to stop these kinds of people.

I also believe that in the end, these people will meet the maker in a bad way.

"Faith" is irrational by definition.

I guess both of us can be selective

(1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust

Well, I guess then you believe we are the only beings in the universe, which would make you religious somewhat. Is believing that there is some form of life outside of earth irrational?
