If hell exists, there should be a special place there for the good Rev. Phelps and the rest of his flock. I hope he contracts aids and dies a slow painful death, and is then brought back to life, covered in pitch, tied to a post and set a blaze. The same freedom of speech that gives me the right to write this blog, also gives the WBC the right to do what they do. The only good to come out of this vile garbage is that it shows the world what religion is really all about. It is not about love and compassion or salvation. It is about pure hate and evil. If I'm wrong and Jesus (or Mohammad, or Yahweh or whoever) comes back let me be the first to show up with a brand new nail gun and crucify him again for the damage his followers have done in his name for the past 2000 years. Can some one explain to me why, all through history up to the fall of the Roman Empire we had some of the greatest minds teaching and writing the greatest discoveries of our time, the greatest model for governments some parts of which are still used today and relative peace through out the world? Hell, the Romans even had working plumbing. Then after the roman empire fell the Christians took over and it was called the dark ages. The black plague ran rampant, all thought and learning was controlled by the church and stymied. Great famines all but destroyed whole countries. The horror of the Inquisition was fully in effect. These are the things religion has done for the human race. It's sad to think how far along we might be as a society if we could have just kept on feeding there butts to the lions.
