Has anyone ever listened to or seen Fred Phelps from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KA?
He pickets the funerals of American Soldiers, Marines, etc.
He also has a website godhatesfags and godhatesamerica.
For a quick lesson on this hate spewing freak, google Fred Phelps, youtube. It is amazing! |

Mr. Bear:
I am not sure what to make of Fred Phelps. I know he lost in court recently. And several states have passed laws to keep him from protesting at funerals. I think he is more of a politician than preacher. |

On Melissa Etheridge's latest CD, "The Awakening" she has a song called "The Kingdom of Heaven" and it addresses Phelps and the war in Iraq:
--
"The Kingdom Of Heaven"
A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Held up a sign that says "God hates America"
A child has been lost
A mother is shocked and is grieving
And turning away, turning away
He said there is a love that is so hideous and destructive
We must drive it from Earth to save all of our children
He must know it well
In the night it's the hell that he speaks of
It keeps him awake, keeps him awake
My God is love
My God is peace
My God loves you
My God loves me
A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Prayed in the dark, "Death to the infidel"
He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body
And blew them away, blew them away
A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
Shouts on the news, "They are the godless ones"
The anger inside and the fear that it hides
never leave her
When the cameras are gone, when the cameras move on
Oh, people, c'mon? tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven?
Where is your faith?
Where do you put your fear?
Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing?
And heaven is here, heaven is here
My God is love
My God is peace... |
