Y'know, I recognize that this is an unpopular view...

But I feel almost sorry for the Phelps'. It can't be easy going through life without an original thought in your head. And all that hatred! Can you imagine what their schedules must look like?

6:30 Wake up, pray to God to thank him for not killing me
6:45 Shower
7:00 Eat breakfast, pray to God to thank him for feeding me
7:30 Hate gay people
9:00 Pray to God to kill gay people
9:15 Hate non-Christians
10:00 Read the Bible, but not the stuff about loving others
11:00 Read the Bible, but not the stuff about keeping kosher
12:00 Lunch, pray to God to thank him for feeding me, ask him to kill people he (and I!) hate
12:30 Hate gay people....

And on and on and on. When is there time to do things like, say, garden, or work, or not be a fucking asshole?

Poor, unfortunate, deluded souls.

Gah! It's not just about gay people! It's about Americans in general, too! Phelps's crowd runs this site (http://godhatesamerica.com) in addition to that other one. Given that they picketed *Reagan's--Reagan's* funeral, I think (hope?) that they're actually a minority, even among more fundamentalist branches of Christianity. They're just noticed a *lot* more frequently than they statistically deserve because they're...like...insane. "God struck down the Columbia!!!!!"

Heh. Even *I* would not have picketed Reagan's funeral. That's just tacky.
