"I hate them for making hate necessary"
I want to ignore Fred Phelps. I want to be able to turn my back and say "You are an idiot and a hypocrite and do not deserve my attention." But I can't. He and his "church group" are like a train wreck. A hateful, anti-Christ train wreck.
I don't want to say anything that gives him any power whatsoever, but when I hear his name, when I learn of his intended actions, I can not stay silent. I want to tear out the throat of him and his followers, but I digress, because I, unlike them understand what it is like to follow the teachings of Christ.
That man and his people can believe whatever the hell they want to believe. If their God that hates fags and hates America exists, then fine, they can be the 90 or so people who are in the clear but they have no right- no right at all to be protesting the FUNERALS of students and faculty members who did nothing wrong except go to class that day.
I want to go to the funerals and put a stop to their protesting. I really do. My heart and thoughts are with the families and survivors of this senseless act of violence and for them I want to be peaceful. These friends and families deserve to memorialize their loved ones in peace, and I want to help give them that chance. I can't be at the funerals, though, but I say good luck to any one who can go to help peacefully remove the Westboro Baptist Church's hateful protesters. I don't feel right going either. This is not my tragedy, and I think I would probably end up trying to kill someone if I were to go. But I hate Fred Phelps. I do. And these families don't need anymore hate in their lives.
"I hate them for making hate necessary." I really do.
