Westboro Baptist Church family disowns daughter — Page 2

Yeah, Annas, that's right. The only thing I wrote was "It's not about you or your heart." I can see how in your persecuted little mind telling you something is NOT about you is how I secretly tricked you into making it all about you.

Everybody has your number already. You can give up the interjecting of yourself into this discussion, if you would.

So, what are your thoughts on gay marriage? Homosexuality? What do you think of your University and it's policies towards the gay community? Do tell. You seem to love telling us what you think when it comes to scripture,so I wonder why you are evading these subjects?

I usually love a good digression, have been responsible for "a couple" in my posting time. I just don't understand why we have allowed Annas to do this here?

Just got finished the article Namo posted. Very insightful and truly depressing. It's a shame it hasn't received more exposure and it sickens me that Fred Phelps has never been prosecuted for child abuse.

Oh Christ! So, if you made a video or said something 6 months ago we are suppose to dismiss it? So you are not responsible for the things you said 6 months ago? You are worst speaker ever.I think after reading some of the garbage on your Facebook, I and we know you about as well as we want. I love how you post all this crap about hating women and then mock us because you claim it was a joke. Um, if you post cap like that for all to see people are gonna assume you mean it. By your rules you don;t have to responsible for anything you say. You have an excuse like, Well I said that 6 months ago you can't expect me to take responsibility for that now". Or "it was a joke" We don't care about you. You said some hurtful things and by what we can tell, you still mean them. You have these strong religious views,you take the time to make a lame video but are too big of a coward to answer the questions asked RE:Homosexuality. The reason you dodge these questions is you know they are hateful and will not go over very well.I think you'd be more comfortable at a forum like Freerepublic.com. You are way too desperate to convince you are not who you say you are.

I'll say it again. You are a self loathing gay man and your religious views will not allow you to accept that. You are actually pretty sad.

ENOUGH.

If you're going to continue this conversation (though I'd rather discuss the Phelpses), the word you're looking for is "libel."

The thing about Phelps is that there really is no discussion to be had. He is insane and he and his people spread hate. It's one of the few black and white scenarios of right/wrong in the world today.

"I'm still waiting for that crazy closeted queen to explain to us why it's not ok to have slaves. I mean she's had over a year now."

I was just thinking the same thing.

And with that, I would say TheatreDiva has closed the case on AnnasPriest. Thank you, TheatreDiva, your point is definitive.

Taz, I get your emotional response, but after reading the lengthy article I linked about the Phelps clan, I was left with a much more complicated feeling about the impact of mental illness and poverty on a family. I used to feel smarter and somehow better and more compassionate than the Phelpses, and then I read that and just felt gross.

---

Awful, right?

Truly awful.

I read about half last night and then it took me most of the morning today to get through the rest. It certainly does give some insight, but like Namo said earlier, it just leaves you sort feeling confounded and hopeless.
