When I lived in Kansas, I was a professor at a local university.
We had many of the Phelps kids in our classes and they are
truly brainwashed into believing a very warped interpretation of
the bible. The worst part is that they are all very well
versed on the law (most are lawyers) and will sue anyone who
attempts to keep them from their cruel and misguided preaching.
They routinely would protest locally at funerals -
particularly those who died of aids and jews.
Their signs are so appalling that I'd be
embarrassed to have my children see them, but there they have their
own 5 year olds holding them. I had not heard about todays
protests or the Fox New interview, but I am not surprised -- it
really is infuriating!!!

heh, if I had them in my classes, I'm not going to lie, thier papers would be graded a tad bit rigidly. Kudos to you for restraint.
"I'm sorry, you got an F on this assignment."
"I missed a comma and a typo?? That's not fair!"
"Well, you should have asked Jesus to spell check it."

I made that comment about diggin a few extra graves and now after watching the interview I'm even more P!$$#d. She had that classic <b>"brainwashed from birth</b>" look. Like she was excited & yet anxiuos to be getting airtime on the news. Probably thinking she can now either convert or condemn the whole world.....<i>or at least justify her screwed way of thinking</i>. No matter how many of these loons appear I've always believed they truly know what they do is wrong, but their raised from day 1 to be that way so they will never change.....ever.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Thats insane. Now I am a baptist, I dont know what she claims to be...but every baptist I know would never ever in a million years think of even doing such a thing. All the chritsians I know (doesnt matter the denomination) would never. . If anything they would be offering support to the families of the troups and the Amish, and no not to try and convert them just to cover my bases on here. What makes me even more angry is that the media covers this....I mean yes its good to be informed and know of the exterimist...BUT have you ever seen news coverage of Christians, or Muslims or even Jews doing something great in the community or nation? no, if i have its a small little news clip in the middle of the news paper. Why is it we always have to hear of the crazies? Its one reason why i hate to watch the news sometimes. I hardly ever see anything good on it and I know for a fact people out there are doing good things no matter what they believe or dont believe. Sadly I really think all we hear is extermist things so that people will just be more divided....doesnt matter your religion or if your atheist, if all you hear is all the extermists...what are you going to think? All it takes if a handfull of crazies who claim to be Muslim or Christian and thats what people think of the whole group...when in fact its not them at all.

I jsut read an interview with this lady. I am ashamed ruely ashamed she calls herself baptist...(I wrote at 5:55). Everything she is saying is not what I as a baptist am taught. I am taught that we are all sinners, but God doesn't care he loves us anyway. According to this lady shes not a sinner herself but anyone who thinks differently is? what? I have the mind to go protest at her church because they are brainwashing people, but i won't because what kind of example would i be setting. But really....i'm so mad at a loss for words...but i just want to scream WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE....what is their preacher teaching them....good grief. i got sick to my stomach reading this article. please no one think all baptists or christians think this way. its basically just some guy or girl took over and said hey we are calling ourselves christians....when in fact if they were really christians they wouldnt be acting this way. it reminds me of the KKK people that claim to be christians and all they are preaching and teaching is hatred of anyone different from themselves....and anyone who knows better knows the bible doesnt teach hatred. ok sorry i could go on all day. just like i said before get the extermists out there and its what everyone thinks is true for the rest of the people.
