I'm sorry to hear that.

My sympathies to his family.

Maybe hell have protestors at his funeral see how the phelps like it! He was full of hate, he was intolerant of anything representing love as well as other cultures! He had it coming and karma caught up with him I am sorry I sound like a heartless as*hole but this guy was nothing but hateful he was like Hitler! His death might be a blessing to the rest of the world in hopes the Westboro Baptist Church change their ways in the world and not spew and preach hatred!

Well, perhaps the greatest revenge the world can have on Fred Phelps is to just move on and forget all about his hate filled tirades and protests. He's dead and in the ground now, and we can all forget he had ever been.

Phelps was guilty of one thing, believing in the bible as the literal true word of god, no ifs buts or maybes. To be honest as much as I disliked the man he had more principles than the literal believers who 'cherry pick' around the most obnoxious teachings in the book and try to present these teachings eg stoning (one such, the Op recently tried to tell me that god, "it was important to understand", had never condoned the practice, read your bible MovieFan) as somehow an aberration. At least he had the courage of his convictions to accept His book at face value. Rightfully he poured scorn on those who wimped out, who cherry pick. DOnt get me wrong, he was a monumental f**kwit but at least he was an honest one.

I can only hope not one single protester turns up for his burial, as this would be the greatest affront a knowledgeable society could deliver to him and his family.

No, he wasn't honest, and he didn't have the courage of his convictions. He used Judaic law from the OT to justify his hatred. If he took the Bible literally, he would have practiced Christ's call to love his neighbor as himself.

I am completely indifferent to all this, beyond writing this post, that is.

I read the account from his son who managed to escape the church, and he said that Phelps was an abusive alcoholic.
