But you're right. I was as intolerant of Mr. Phelps as he is of other people. I admit it: I acted like a hypocrite, for which I apologize.<BR/><BR/>I just get so angry when I see people who claim to represent Christ treating other people like garbage....especially ministers. The word 'minister' means 'serve,' yet this man makes a mockery out of the word. I don't know why people let him get away with it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But I have no business being judgmental. I'll try not to do it again, and again I humbly apologize for being that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-1139583094910168292006-02-10T09:51:00.000-05:002006-02-10T09:51:00.000-05:00I've known about Rev.

There's always some fruitcake out there who thinks they can speak for God and therefore has the right to judge everyone in the whole wide world.<BR/><BR/>I don't know where Reverend Whatshisname gets his information about God, but the Bible doesn't say God hates homosexuals. He might hate the action of it, but He does not hate the people doing it.<BR/><BR/>This so reminds me of a group here in Oregon called the 'Special Righteousness Committee.' At the end of their little protest to any new law that might give Gays the same rights as other people, they say, "Agree with us or burn in Hell."<BR/><BR/>That kind of intolerance on the part of the religious folk in the U.S. really ticks me off, because it does nothing to forward the cause of Christianity throughout the world. If anything, it only stunts the Church's growth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-1139413500693583902006-02-08T10:45:00.000-05:002006-02-08T10:45:00.000-05:00Othmar, I'd hate to bump into someone like Phelps ...Othmar, I'd hate to bump into someone like Phelps while on the water.

I'm not against Phelps' right to voice his idiocy. Do you know if it's a crime in any U.S. jurisdiction to incite hatred? That might be a way to at least reduce the choir he preaches to, to his fellow cell mates.<BR/><BR/>Unique: A riot is a bit of a "to-do." However, that's theoretical because I'm pretty sure Canadians aren't allowed to riot. We can however, raise our voices - as long as the person we're hailing is more than 100 feet away. Pretty sure.<BR/><BR/>Othmar: I wonder if it's that the US has more than its fair share of loonies or is that everybody who lives down there is on tv?<BR/><BR/>Mog: Yes sister!

And like all cults, it's based on ego, not ideology embraced by the masses. <BR/><BR/>The bible doesn't say "Love thy neighbor as long as they aren't (fill in the blank)."<BR/><BR/>If Phelps should make it to the pearly gates I hope he is wearing shorts because I suspect St.Peter will sit him down for a little chat and send him packing.

One of his daughters was singing a parody of God Bless America with lyrics so abhorrent I was glad that the reporter voiced over them quickly. <BR/><BR/>Apparently many major papers where he's protested have been ignoring him so as not to give him any press but he's made national news in that state legistlators are passing laws to try and prohibit his cemetary protests. <BR/><BR/>There's a biker club that rides out to counter protest him - a club that's veterans. I say yay for them.<BR/><BR/>The slippery slope here is First Amendment Freedom of Speech. Yes, it's repugnant what he's doing but this is a country that lets the KKK and NeoNazis march, too. <BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the math, Frank.
