Any chance you can summarize that link, or post a quote? There’s no way I’m clicking on “godhatesfags dot com” from work. ---

I’m not clicking on it either, but I think we can reliably assume it means raving fucknut Fred Phelps is going to picket Jerry Falwell’s funeral. I’ll place an order for the asteroid strike. ---

From the linked site: > [@Batshit Crazy Phelpsian](#): > > This is for the funeral of the lying, false prophet Jerry Falwell. He was not a hero, nor was he honorable. He was nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and he has made those that follow in his folly to be twice as evil as he is. It’s followed by a bunch of bible quotes about Pharisees, false prophets, and the like. They really need to rename their site to [godhatesfuckingeveryone.com](http://godhatesfuckingeveryone.com). ---

As mentioned in the other Falwell thread, Phelps declared Falwell a “fag enabler” back in 1999. ---

You would think that if Phelps liked _anybody_, anybody at all in this fucking world outside of his own psycho family, it would be the guy who blamed 9/11 on gays and the ACLU. But no, not even him. Phelps really should just buy up [godhateseveryoneexceptforme.com](http://godhateseveryoneexceptforme.com) and save his webmaster some serious labor. I have a bucket of :rolleyes: with Phelps’ name on it. ---

Even more interesting, todays pickets are disrupting the funeral of Harold Schmidt, 77, a victim of the tornado in Kansas. WTF did _he_ do?

Nobody had more than the other,” Willie Schmidt said. “That’s where the community is right now, ironically enough.” ---

Eh, inevitable. Phelps represents no one but Phelps, because Phelps is FUCKING INSANE. No one is “Christian” enough to appease him. If Jesus himself appeared before him, Phelps would stone Him to death if He failed to use His godly powers to annihilate all the people Phelps hates within 30 seconds of His blessed arrival. ---

This totally makes sense. Phelps criteria for the elect are very fucking specific. I bet Phelps Hell is probably my heaven. I’d party with Jerry Falwell. I’d be like, “Ok you silver tongued devil, game over time out, let’s go have a beer.” Who wouldn’t want to party with Jerry Falwell? I mean come on, I bet even Larry Flynt would be down. Who by the way I am so glad survived Falwell. Well Jerry, I hope you fell well. Fucking Fred Phelps, he’s such an idiot.
