I normally don’t like to post things so inflammatory. This is different though. Fred Phelps is a jerk and his followers are hateful people. I’d I’ve lost all respect for them. WHAT? Yeah - I actually respected them slightly because rather than cherry picking the pieces of the bible that they felt like listening to, they believed every bit of hateful nonsense in it. Or so I thought…

It turns out Freddo is the same as all other people blindly following their religious teachings, picking and choosing what they determine to be right and wrong - ignoring what god says in the book. Except he’s worse. And his followers, because instead of following it themselves, and holding bitter hatred to non-followers close to themselves, they’re pointing out the wrongs everyone else is making in god’s eyes, but not themselves. It turns out, that god hates Fred Phelps just as much as the gays, the people fighting for America, and generally anyone else they decide they don’t like. It turns out that Fred Phelps shaves, which is bad in god’s eyes according to Leviticus, one of Fred’s favorite books.

God says, “Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.”

So, right is right. If you’re letting the world know exactly who god hates, put yourself on the top of that list.

And you’re a jerk. See you in hell?

It’s been reported that 1,000,000 people are expected to see the Turin Shroud when it’s on public display beginning in April for it’s 6-week viewing period. This is the same shroud that’s been reported on multiple times, and said to be a fake time and time again.

That said, it’s still a pretty old “relic” that people have been looking at and protecting for hundreds of years, so yeah - I’d probably take a look at it if I was in the neighborhood. But it does pop out as an interesting parallel… it’s something many people admit is not really what the church says it is, but they want to see it anyway, just like the circus attractions of yesteryear!

“Pass along to emersunn that electrical vinyl tape works very well on a stainless steel frig and leaves no marks.  Also easy to get off… comes in black or white too.  I recommend a better brand like Scotch 33+ or the like.  Folded in a loop it becomes double sided too.  Soon that frig will be talking up a storm.”

The results are coming in… thanks for the participation, gents!
