From Fox News, report on Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket funeral of Amish girls (later cancelled)
"Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."

The Amish don't serve God, they serve themselves? How does that even make sense?! Does this person even know the first thing about the history, lifestyle, and beliefs of the Amish? Oh, wait, it's a member of the WBC, of course they don't know.
I disagree Archangel_Lucifer. As long as these people don't hold positions of power, they actually do serve a purpose to the rest of humanity: they show the evil of bigotry. Now, if they were respected congressmen, cocking up our laws, they'd be much more dangerous. As it is, they're just immoral jerks.
Remember to vote so we can keep it that way. Preferably with non-Diebold machines.
Hmmm, and nothing bad ever happens to the Phelpses.
Possible conclusions:
A. Their jealous, fucked-up, petty, psychopathic, homophobic, mysogynistic, megalomaniacal Gawd exists.
B. There is no God.

Thankfully I dont live in america. I be from New zealand and to be honest all our politicians are pretty bland and mellow.
The best thing about our govt is that religion plays zero part in it. Our main centre-right party lost the last elections mainly because of the stigma of appearing to be involved with a far-right religious group.
I don't wish people's dead for any reason, but I decided quite a while ago that I would make an exception for the WBC.
Maybe people should kill one of the nut jobs, and then run around at his funeral with "God rewarded my way of living, he killed a Phelps"-signs.
After reading the journals of an SS Officer stationed in Warsaw during World War II, who complained that the cries of starving Jewish children were keeping him and his wife awake at night, the science-fiction writer Philip K Dick theorised that there are creatures walking this planet that look human, sound human and in almost every way can pass for human. Except that they aren't. They lack the one thing that is required in order for something to be called human: the ability to empathise. Dick suggested these creatures were androids, but he was wrong and possibly blinded by his own fascination with religion - they were religious fundamentalists of the Phelps variety. Make no mistake, these creatures who picket funerals are not human

Both are true, though A. is only true in the tiny, compassion-deficient, thought-resistant, delusion-laden spaces known as the minds of the Phelps clan.
The Amish are fucking awesome. They can build a house in a day. A FUCKING DAY. And they do it out of charity (and because they feel a spiritual obligation, but it's so much harder to take them to task for it when it benefits so many people).
So fuck you Fred Phelps. You are like a confused child. Everything that people say is good must be bad, everything that is bad is good. I know what I'm talking about, I understand the world blah blah blah. I pity you.

PERIANAL REGION
As one moves from the hairy skin to the glabrous skin about the anus, one observes that the nerve networks rise higher and higher in the dermis and that the mucocutaneous end-organ becomes apparent at the vermillion border. These endings, as well as more non-specific papillary endings, occur frequently in this transitional zone. The Vater-Pacini corpuscle is found deep in the subcutaneous tissues of this region.
Oh wait, mucocutaneous end organs needs a word or two!
The specific type of erogenous zone found is found in the mucocutaneous regions of the body. Such specific sites of acute sensation in the body are the genital regions, including the prepuce, penis, clitoris and external vulva of the female and perianal skin, lip, nipple and conjunctiva. It is the special anatomy of these regions that require the term "specific" when one speaks of erotic sensations originating in the skin. This anatomy favors acute perception. The rete ridges of the epithelium are well formed and more of the organized nerve tissue rises higher in the dermis than is true of haired skin. The relationship between the anatomy of the skin in those structures and the nerve supply is shown in figure 1. The structures, as hair follicles, that occupy the dermis determine to some extent the neural formations. Dermal thickness also is a factor. The inverse relationship between mucocutaneous end organs and hair follicles as one moves from glabrous to haired skin should be observed.

i.e. 'God' made the asshole an erogenous zone!
You, vile, loathsome, evil little COCKROACH!
You made light the death of a CHILD. A CHILD YOU FOUL HARPY!
This is the problem with a free country! Vile vermin like these carrion eaters are allowed to say, and do whatever the fuck they want (though they can't get within 300-500 yards of a soldiers funeral.)without fear of government or vigilante retribution.
Animals like these are abusing their freedoms grossly, and unless we want OUR freedoms of speech and peacful demonstration taken away, we can't do anything to shut them up! Americas fair system has become unfair in this case, and it's frustrating!
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!
The cost of freedom of speech is eternal vigilance against stupid, vile speech.
The sad thing is that they're taken seriously, rather than mocked by absolutely everyone.
You know, I think we need to come up with an anti-FSM/IPU entity we can claim these people are possessed by.

Children have "brought God's wrath upon themselves?" What kind of disgusting god would kill innocent children? And you've got to be certifiably insane or woefully ignorant to suggest that the Amish don't serve God and only serve themselves. Yes, in theory, the don't serve God because God doesn't exist and therefore can't be served, but the Amish don't do anything unless they think it serves God. They specifically avoid doing things for themselves and devote their lives to what they think God wants.
Besides, Shirley Phelps-Roper, the Bible says women shouldn't be out preaching. Back in the kitchen, bitch! Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.
Baptists VS. Amish?
FUNDIE FIGHT!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
