People may disagree with what Phelps and his Church preach, yet they too are Christians.
They have accepted Jesus as their savior, they will ascend to heaven upon their death.
Just as Falwell.
Let's not forget.
Christians should not be judging other Christians.

1. This is actually rather sensible for the most part. I have a tiny disagreement with it (due to the SKY HIGH likelihood of Phelps being a wolf in sheep's clothing), but it's up to God to decide if that complaint is valid, not me.
I thought that Jesus was clear that you can´t say oh lord oh lord, and not fulfill his will. Worse, that you shall not judge, yes, EVERYBODY, not just other Christians. And thanks for reminding us that some Christians consider that just because you're a Christian, you can get away with whatever you want.
Mixed feelings on this one. Fundies are so ridiculously judgemental that it's good to hear of christians who try not to be. On the other hand, horrible hateful people like Phelps (and other intolerable hateophils) should not be tolerated and given a free pass just because they call themselves christians. People should not be so "open minded" as to let their brains fall out.
"Christians should not be judging other Christians ..."
"People may disagree with what Phelps and his Church preach, yet they too are Christians."Perhaps what you meant was "They are TOO Christian."
"They have accepted Jesus as their savior, they will ascend to heaven upon their death."
They have accepted Jesus and will rot in the ground as will the rest of us upon death.
"Just as Falwell."
Give him a few days and he'll be rotting.
"Let's not forget.
Christians should not be judging other Christians."
Should Christians be judging anyone? I don't remember the Bible saying "Don't judge other Christians, but judge all those other people."
This guy doesn't seem like a fudamentalist to me either, as he's trying to actually practice what Jesus preached.
If i have a choice between eternity with Phelps and Falwell or Hell, the second one is looking distinctly more appealing...Life, The Universe, and Everything ?
So since I'm a Christian, I am officialy exempt from criticism from other Christians? Cool!

No TRUE Christian would use the No True Scotsman fallacy!
Pfft. The Bible says one will know a tree by its fruit. It is obvious to me that Phelps' fruit is bitter and not Godly, since all it produces is hatred and bigotry.
First off, when has that ever stopped anyone from judging anyone? Or am I incorrect in thinking that snark was invented in the midst of church politics? (Okay, probably, but it seems it.)
Actually, I agree. It's bullshit when Christians pull "not a true Christian." Just because someone claims your religion and does something you don't like, it doesn't make them not a member of your religion.
I honestly wish more Christians would take this one to heart.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
