The Retard of the Month for October 2006
is:
Pastor Fred W. Phelps
Pastor Fred W. Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church is being named The Retard
of the Month for his bigotry against homosexuals, for his sexism, for his
xenophobic statements against several countries, and for publicly showing
disrespect and lack of sympathy towards victims of many accidents, natural
disasters, murders and terrorist acts, including but not limited to the World
Trade Center bombing on the 11th of September, 2001.
Christians generally oppose homosexuals acts, but this man takes his views to
the extreme and actually advocates the death penalty for homosexuals acts.
He and his congregation, mainly composed of family members, have organized
thousands of pickets at various locations both in and outside of the U.S.A., in
the last 10 years, preaching their hateful drivel against homosexuals and
virtually anyone who disagrees with their insane religious beliefs or actions.
During a demonstration, they display signs containing "GOD HATES FAGS", "THANK
GOD FOR AIDS", "FAGS DIE, GOD LAUGHS", "AIDS CURES FAGS", "FAGS BURN IN HELL",
"FAGS DOOM NATIONS", "GOD GAVE FAGS UP", "THANK GOD FOR 9/11" etcetera.
They believe the 9/11 attacks, the death of many American soldiers in Iraq,
hurricane Katrina, the Columbia shuttle accident and the murder of the five
Amish girls are punishment from God for the U.S.A.'s tolerance of homosexuals
acts. As if all of this wasn't bad enough, the heartless bastards picket
funerals of dead soldiers and homosexuals, thus showing no sympathy for the
friends and family of the deceased. They have even considered picketing
the funeral of the five slain Amish girls, although they cancelled the protest,
not because they actually realized how wrong it is, but because they were given
an hour of radio time on Mike Gallagher's program instead.
Protests are not their only means of spreading their hateful garbage. For
example, the Westboro Baptist Church owns several sites including
GodHatesFags.com,
GodHatesAmerica.com,
GodHatesCanada.com and
GodHatesSweden.com. The titles of these websites alone are revolting to any
decent human being. Shortly after the tsunamis in Asia occurred, they
posted the statement on their main site: "THANK GOD FOR 20000 DEAD SWEDES, WISH
IT WERE MORE". Here is another evil statement which can be found in their
website F.A.Q.:
We sincerely hope and pray that all 20,000 Swedes are dead, their bodies
bloated on the ground or in mass graves or floating at sea feeding sharks and
fishes or in the bellies of thousands of crocodiles washed ashore by tsunamis.
These filthy, faggot Swedes have a satanic, draconian law criminalizing Gospel
preaching, under which they prosecuted, convicted and sentenced Pastor Ake Green
to jail - thereby incurring God's irreversible wrath - Westboro Baptist
Church
The "God Hates Sweden" website was created as a response to the imprisonment of
another retarded fundie who publicly made bigoted statements against homosexuals
in Sweden.
On top of all of this, Fred Phelps is a sexist as he believes women are not
allowed to preach. His website quotes the following biblical passages as
evidence:
"1 Tim. 2:9-14 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or
pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with
good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not
a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For
Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being
deceived was in the transgression.
1 Cor. 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not
permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as
also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
For his unbelievable display of idiocy and disrespect for the entire human race
generated by religion, Fred W. Phelps is being awarded The Retard of the Month
Award.
