“You’re not going to get nowhere with that slop that ‘God loves you,’ ”....That’s a diabolical lie from hell without biblical warrant”. Poor old bent bastard.

Not meaning to sound cold, but when a person dedicates his life to spouting hate, I have a difficult time being sympathetic

My very first thought was, "Good."
Perfectly understandable. Getting behind someone who thinks signs reading "Thank God for dead soldiers" are okay is pretty hard to get behind. Not too many tears are being shed beyond his inner-circle I would imagine.
Will be interesting to see what happens at his funeral.
Wouldn't it be nice if this would be the end of that type of "hate church"? - but I'm afraid it won't be.
Do you suppose there will be protesting at his funeral?
From the article:
"He also picketed the funeral of Fred Rogers, explaining that the children’s TV show host neglected to warn young viewers that sodomy is a sin."
Perhaps Mr. Phelps is finding out all about sodomy in Hell right now.

Let's hope he finally finds the peace and forgiveness in his death that he didn't find in his life.
Personally I hope no one shows up to the funeral except for his family. No protests, no media, no nothing. Let this man go down as merely a footnote to when one thinks of contempt. Show the family the respect and privacy he never gave other grieving families.
I'm not familiar with this guy sorry.
A lot of peeing which won't pass for watering flowers. Actually, I hope no one does anything at all. Indifference is appropriate when there's no great loss. Meanwhile, what happens with the remaining members of that "church" will be worth noting. My prediction is that perhaps some of them will have a few hateful, paranoid things to say, and then wander off aimlessly since the snake is now without a head.

I agree for a different reason - I'd like it to show no one really cared about him.
I truly hope that it's nothing beyond friends/family. He was a troubled, twisted man; reflecting his behaviour will do nothing but prove his methods are acceptable, and will not affect him at all. It would only stain the soul/karma/whatever you choose of the person who acts badly.
That no protests or drama occurs is certainly my hope as well as it would only feed into the congregation's notion that they are the righteous ones who are fighting the evils of the world. I can't imagine that the media wouldn't show up, though.
Mine too. Can't feel bad for this dude, and can't help but think that the world got a bit brighter without this hate-spewing a**hat in it.
