Decieving, and how looks can be it.
Well. This is certainly good news.
I think starting off with a quote would probably be for the best.
In Washington, Margie Phelps balanced several signs targeting Jews, Israel and the Obama administration. One read “Rabbis Rape Kids,” another said “God Hates Jews.” Margie Phelps’ T-shirt read “Jews Killed Jesus.” She argued with men and women passing by, warning them that God will soon send the Jews to hell.
Actually, let me narrow this down to one sentence.
Margie Phelps balanced several signs targeting Jews… One read… “God Hates Jews.”
What? If this weren’t so sad, I would probably be laughing hysterically at that sign. I honestly don’t know if this woman has ever read the Bible, with special emphasis to the Old Testament. ( I believe ) Israel is still God’s chosen nation. Whatever this “Christian woman” is thinking, well, she’s obviously mistaken. Next, one of the quotes about this church’s past.
Since then, they have angered many by protesting at funerals for American military killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, holding signs reading “Pray For More Dead Soldiers.”
Reading this honestly made me sick. They claim that the dead soldiers are a result of America becoming more and more complacent with homosexuality. As much as I was disturbed by this, I have to admit that these horrible statements do hold at least a grain of truth… America is becoming more and more complacent with homosexuality. I agree that God is definitely against homosexuality. But claiming that the death of soldiers overseas was a result of this? AT THEIR FUNERALS? I ( quite literally ) would not know what to do with myself if I ever met this man face to face.
But the list of grievances doesn’t just stop there. He goes beyond merely taking Biblical condemnations to their natural extremes, claiming that God hates all Swedish persons because of the countries gay-rights laws. He picketed Billy Graham for not spreading their God Hates F*gs message. Not only that, he has called Ireland.. well, I can’t reprint what he called Ireland. But all of his attacks were centered around one event-
His sermon was in response to the Literary and Historical Society, a debating society in University College Dublin, which invited him to participate in a debate on homosexual adoption. The invitation was made in error, and was withdrawn within a few days.
The only reason he preached this sermon was on a vengeful, spiteful, rampage in a childish tantrum. He was angry at the withdrawal of his invitation to a debate. That is all. If you doubt any of this, you can visit the websites- godhatesfags.com, godhatessweden.com, godhatesireland.com, and priestsrapeboys.com. If this sounds like a joke, it’s not. Those are the man’s beliefs. I am speechless.
Remember, Martin Luther said Catholic churches, seminaries and monasteries are nothing but sodomite whorehouses filled with unnatural brute beasts and devils. We warned that the very leprechauns of Ireland are likely to be f*gs!
A quote directly from the man’s mouth. I should move on before I become guilty of the same sins as this man.
I guess the point I’m trying to make here is..
26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
I don’t believe anyone in the world can claim that this man keeps a bridle on his tongue. And the activities that he takes part in do nothing but draw attention to himself. Remember- not all people that call themselves Christian deserve respect. And no, I’m not saying only approve of the ones I agree with. Some people just have vain religion that can only be loosely called even that, who so twist Jesus teachings of love that they aren’t recognizable, someone that does nothing but puffs themselves up through pharisee-like “holier-than-thou”ism. He only gives us a bad name.
I apologize for any language used in quoting.
