Wednesday, Pastor Fred Phelps, the founder
and leader of Westboro Baptist Church died. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Part of me thinks good riddance to all his hatred, vitriol and
self-righteousness, while another part of me, the part that loves writing blogs
about something idiotic Fred or the members of the Westboro Baptist Church had
done, is sad. We’re better off with him gone, but it leaves a gaping hole
where there was so much to laugh at and make fun of before.
Bible-believing
Christians may not like it but Fred was correct in his interpretation of what
the bible says about homosexuals. It states very clearly that homosexuality is
an abomination and that gays should be put to death. Fred and his church
members were just a little more up front and in your face about it, but they
are right on the money. Of course, the bible also says shellfish are an
abomination so I wonder how soon we’ll see Westboro picketing Red Lobster?
About an hour after I heard of Fred’s
passing, I was going out to my car. In the sky to the east was a beautiful
rainbow, and it struck me what that multicolored arc represented. God was having gay
sex with Fred Phelps! Pastor Fred went from people seeing him and saying ‘what
an asshole’ to God leering at his naked buttocks and saying WHAT…AN…ASSHOLE! So
the next time you see a rainbow, remember that God is busy at the moment. Fred's 'gaping hole'
has his full attention
