It's funny. I hope that dreadful church has a public meltdown on their website so I can read it.
I got curious and read a bit about Phelps this morning.
He truly believes the shit that he spews; it's not just a bid for attention.
This is a quick read about how he went from West Point graduate to a Baptist convert from Christianity, to a missionary working to convert Mormons into Baptists, to a move to California and becoming a street preacher who got featured in TIME magazine 45 years ago.

Phelps's views haven't changed over the decades, maybe just gotten more extreme with a wider audience. To me, he's not only a hateful man, but one truly lacking in wisdom.
