Will someone put us out of this man’s misery already?
Sorry I’m so late in updating today; it’s been a bit of a rough morning on the Adri front - and while I found it quite interesting that Yasser Arafat apparently died of AIDS most likely contracted during a homosexual relationship, I did not need to cruise the news to see this:
“MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, at age 21, in Defiance of God’s Warning: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.’ Leviticus 18:22.”
Three guesses as to who that came from, first two wrong ones get you smacked with a frozen trout.
That’s right, our wonderful Reverend Fred Phelps. That right there is the proposed text of a monument that he keeps trying to have erected in Casper, Wyoming, alongside the new city monument representing various historical governing documents. Apparently desecrating the dead ranks right up there with the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and other texts that have become borderline sacred on U.S. soil.
That man can’t stay out of the news and he just can’t stop beating a dead horse, can he? Why is Phelps so desperate to deface the memory of a boy who lost his life so tragically? Does he have no compassion for his family, or even for the loss of another human being?
Nevermind. This is Phelps we’re talking about here. Of course he doesn’t. That man is a scourge upon the face of mankind, a rotting chancre of hatred festering upon the flesh of the earth. He is everything that he decries, and then some: a hypocrite advocating hatred, advocating atrocities against human beings, in the name of his idea of what a Christian God wants. The man is severely twisted and I only hope that one day, somehow, he wakes up enough to understand the madness that he’s been perpetuating through his acts and through what he teaches his family and followers.
Let Matthew Shepard rest in peace. Let the VA Tech victims rest in peace. Stop being a coward, Phelps, and attacking the dead who cannot fight back…or you may come to regret it more than you think. Cross the wrong lines, and the living will fight back on their behalf, and one day you may incite backlash that you cannot handle, no matter how richly deserved.
And frankly, I don’t want to besmirch my karma by wishing that on you.

I don’t have any words that are not “What?!” followed by many curses, repeated over and over as I scale up several octaves over the course of five minutes.

He is why Furies should still exist.

Simon: I feel like a bad person because that made me erupt into snickers on what’s supposed to be a very serious topic.
manda: …visualizing what the Furies would do to Phelps is giving me happy tingles in my toes.
