Fred Phelps
Kelda:
Just watching a documentary on BBC 1 called Louis Theroux: The Most Hated Family In America.
I had vaguely heard of the Phelps before but oh my god, these people are mad.
Among the most random things they did was picket a hardware store who sold Sweedish Vacuum Cleaners because in sweeden a 'Pastor' was arrested for shouting against homosexuality in the street.
These little kids in these families are just being indoctrinated they don't know what they are holding up banners for.
Discuss.
David In Indy:
I am very familiar with Fred Phelps Kelda. He has been to Indiana MANY times, protesting the funerals of gay people. His clan protests the funerals of fallen soldiers too.
They are SICK SICK SICK! >:( >:( >:(
I'm so sorry to hear he is polluting the British airwaves over there.
Kelda:
Louis Theroux is a great documentary maker - its actually quite an interesting insight in to their weird little world.
Louis basically lived with the family for about 4 weeks.
Scary Scary horrible family.

I just read the wikipedia entry about Fred Phelps, and I wonder why the media pays attention to them. He has said some very terrible stuff about gays. I am an atheist but really how can they say they're preaching God's word?

yeah I looked at that last night too after watching the programme.
The bible can be interpreted anyway if you pick and choose the bits you read... I'm neither an athiest or a particularly religious - but yeah - thats is NOT God's word.
Louis Theroux put that to the main guy last night - very interesting response! (basically called him a dumbass, an agressor -Louis is so laidback and nice he is horizontal - and shouted at him! No real answer.)
