Anti-gay activists to picket Seattle Super Bowl letdown
The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS, announced plans to picket Seattle’s civic mourning in the wake of the Seahawk’s disappointing loss in Super Bowl XL…. The city’s championship dreams collapsed last night under the weight of sloppy play, questionable clock management, and drive-killing penalties, which the Rev. Fred Phelps blamed on “divine retribution” for recently passed gay civil rights legislation, declaring “The Lord works in mysterious ways…and sometimes through the zebras.”
Leave it to former DUMB@$$ Fred Phelps to find a way to pour salt in to the wounds of an entire city. Is there ANYTHING that this troll will not do to insult, demean, or cause pain in the pursuit of his narrow, hate-based “Christianity”? Apparently not.
Jeebus, what a dickweed….
The controversial church is best known for picketing military funerals, shouting at mourners “God hates fags” and other scripture. But Rev. Phelps has recently expanded his missionary work to more high profile events’ including last month’s memorial for the 12 miners killed in the Sago Mine disaster, where protesters held signs reading, “Thank God for Dead Miners,” “God Hates Your Tears” and “Miners in Hell.”….
Rev. Phelps struck a similar chord in talking about Seattle’s Super Bowl loss, saying that God chose to torment fans with momentum-turning penalties and dropped passes in retaliation for the city’s unholy abomination: “God hates Seattle! It was Seattle’s fags who hardened God’s heart, and it was God’s wrath that turned Jerramy Stevens’ hands to stone.”
As for Pittsburgh, he described the Steelers’ home town as a “manly, God-fearing” city…except maybe for some excessive hugging in The Deer Hunter. “That was a little faggy,” Rev. Phelps admitted, “but God already punished director Michael Cimino with Heaven’s Gate.”
God may well hate Seattle, but somehow I think it has nothing to do with football. Besides, don’t you think that the Almighty (if he or she even exists) has better things to worry about than who wins a &+^%$#@ football game? I would think he’d have His hands full creating earthquakes, floods, famines, pestilence, or whatever else a Deity does these days.
Yes, Fred Phelps’ God is a mean-spirited, vindictive, hateful son of a bitch, who’s probably been off His medication for some time now. He also apparently has no problem with His adherents twisting Scripture into a narrow, judgemental, hate-based doctrine designed to pour salt into the wounds of those in pain. And you wonder why I harbor such antipathy towards Fundamentalist Christians. Of course, Phelps and his travelling band of hateful, knuckle-dragging troglodytes could really only be called “Christians” by those with no familiarity with the teachings of Jesus Christ. I don’t know how Phelps can use Christianity to justify his brand of vitriol, ignorance, and hate, but he seems to relish causing pain by revelling in the suffering of others. This dickweed calls himself a “man of God”?? Whatever….
If you believe in God, you’ve got to believe that there is a special place in Hell for Fred Phelps. Few intolerant, self-righteous, judgemental demagogues deserve it more.
