I like how the document is slanted and pitted, like a laundry-room-bulletin.

It’s incredible that in a field so teeming with with talented and committed contenders Fred Phelps manages so consistently to remain head and shoulders above the crowd when it comes to insane religious assholery.

As morbidly curious as I am, I can’t give Phelps’ site a hit and give him the attention which he so desperately craves.
Do Not Feed The Religious Asshat

I guess there’s an unintended joke there that I’d find funny, were it not for the aforementioned profound religious assholery.

I’m shocked to find that the Church has replaced the sacramental bread and wine with “sodomite feces and semen.” How is it that this development has received so little mainstream press? How has the laity reacted to this?

Wild… one of the websites it has listed is [hatemongers.com](http://hatemongers.com)
Is this maybe a parody? Or is this guy really that nuts?

The latter.
If only this shitty flyer was posted elsewhere, so as to not give this prick hits.

He’s really that nuts. He’s been doing stuff like this for years. You might remember him as the guy who picketed the Matthew Shepard funeral. The name of his website is [Godhatesfags.com](http://Godhatesfags.com). He’s a genine whacko hate monger.

Good gods… I haven’t been keeping up with the wacko strains of Christianity… I was sure I was getting whooshed.

While I heartily endorse your sentiments, I’d just like to point out that “Fred Phelps” and “above” should never be used in the same post, let alone the same sentence. Upsets the balance of nature, d’ye see.

He’s Really That Nuts.
His whole fucking family is in on it. I remember seeing a picture of a neice or grandaughter or something, very pretty girl, very Apple-pie wholesome-looking, standing by the road holding a big placard that read “GOD HATES FAGS”.
What kind of sick fucking bastards fill kids’ minds with such filth? Why not just feed them Hg&Pb coctails and rot their brains properly?

It would be wrong for me to fail to note that this is one of those rare instances in which you and I agree on something. In the Asshat Hall of Fame, Fred has a place assured. 😃

It was established long ago that Fred Phelps is a raving lunatic.
Why would you give him one millisecond of your time?

I’m obviously no friend of religion, but even I can see that Fred is nuttier than the Planters factory and represents nobody but himself and his equally looney tunes family. Why give any attention to the ravings of the fucking insane?

Hmm … gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “holy shit!”

I’m not so disturbed by giving him a hit - his batshit insane rating precludes anything as straightforward as external validation. The part that bothers me is that, for weeks afterwards, my location window autocompletes to the **go** dhatesfags whenever I’m going to **go** ogle. This is particularly unsavory at work.

How about we just call it “the wacko strains.” There’s nothing in Phelps’ inventory that comes anywhere near “Christianity.”

Perhaps one person might be so noble as to brave the wildes of [GHF.com](http://GHF.com) and copy that PDF file to somewhere where others will not be giving him hits.
One of the few things that **everybody** here now or in the past (barring a few trolls), including folks like **Wildest Bill** and **His4Ever** , are agreed on, is that Fred Phelps and his merry crew are a blight on the ass of Christianity.
