Mostly because of their attitude towards the world, and how I just really want to slug Fred Phelps in the fucking face, and because he likes to assume that he and his cult of hate are better than everyone else. If they have so much faith in God, then why don’t they show how faithful they are and declare Holy War on the US? Why don’t they strap bombs to their chests and send as many non believers to Hell as they can? :mad:The zealots go around chanting about how superior they are to everyone else because their God tells them so. They deserve the Pit, and anyone who feels the way they do, too. ---

You’re just giving them attention, which is what they want and is more than they deserve, so this’ll be my only post to this thread. ---

Pretty sure whether the OP spouted off in this thread or not, he’d still be morally superior to Phelps and crew. But you’re right: nobody ever has the right to call out charlatans unless they’ve actively worked to oppose them IRL. Guess we better shut this message board down. ---

They are lawyers, right? How do you hurt lawyers the most? Hit them in their bank accounts, let them know the true meaning of poverty. Counter-advertise, be better lawyers than they are.If you own something like a small store or a sit-down restaurant, put up a sign that says “The management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone deemed a disturbance to the peace, subtractive from the atmosphere, or plain unruly.” Ways that can really just put a huge dent in their operations. ---

Its really hard to know what one might do that can directly and effectively deal with a problem like massive and vicious stupidity. But just for the record, if Mr. Phelps should suddenly be attacked by a squamous, tentacled horror from the Nth dimension, that rends him asunder and gobbles him up…well, you’ll know who to thank.
