Fred Phelps

There are probably many Christians who may or may not know this name. There are probably many in the gay community who despise this man. Fred Phelps is a pastor located in Topeka, Kansas who translates the Bible to his own manipulation. He has many sites known as "godhatesfags.com" and "godhatessweden.com". I recently watched a documentary about Fred Phelps. His church is known as "Westboro Baptist Church". The church is practically made up of his family members who are radically fundamental. They have rallies at the funerals of fallen soldiers who have died and gay people who have passed away. The Fred Phelps clan basically makes a mockery of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Westboro gang is basically spoon fed manipulation and mistranslation from their radical, fundamentalist pastor. It truly breaks my heart to see these people and what they stand for. Fred Phelps is filled with so much hatred and lacks much happiness in his life. If you were filled with the love of Jesus, you wouldn't hate others and have protests and picket signs. Jesus never talked about hating anyone when he was on the earth. Jesus was accepting of all people and wanted them to see the love that he had in his heart for everyone. Fred Phelps lacks compassion and joy in his heart. Fred Phelps is filled with bitter hatred for those he should have love for. 

I would recommend watching "Fall from grace". It is the name of the documentary. It will truly open your eyes.
