Just like you shouldnt hate a whole race because of one person who happens to be that race is a bad person. Religion is the one thing that keeps me from going insane. The Phelps obviously have mental problems. Being a Christain isn't about hating or judging. It's about loving and accepting everyone just like Jesus Christ would. In the bible there's a story about a woman who's going to be stoned to death by a group of men because she cheated on her husband and Jesus walks up and says whoever here hasn't sinned can throw the first stone. That's what Christianity is all about, no one has the right to judge anyone because we all sin and in Gods eyes no sin is worse than another. You shouldn't judge a whole religion on one person.

What sickens me the most is the picture you have with everyone holding signs, and that boy holding the one that is so hateful. He is totally brainwashed. God doesn't hate anyone, because god doesn't exist. But that young boy will grow up hating and bullying people in the name of an invisible man in the sky. …”religion is all it takes to drive you utterly insane”

This lot also protest alongside Phelps, and then write reports saying that "The Phelps clan where there riding our coat-tails again. They claim to beleive in the truth of the bible but i haven't ever heard them mention the shape of the world, they are no doubt brainwashed by the liberal 'spherist' media" There’s also a “God Hates Globes” group which uses “Biblical evidence” to prove that the world is flat and square.

There's a cracking report at http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2008/09/way_to_go_matie.aspx which describes the Central Arkansas Pastafarians mounting a 'God Hates Shrimp' counter-demo that not only got Phelps to pack up and go home in total confusion but effectively ensure the silly bastards were laughed out of town and will never go back there. You can't talk sense to someone who's a complete headcase - but you CAN outweird them! They thrive on anger and encourage violence as it feeds their martyr complex, but just don't know how to react to being mercilessly ridiculed.

Mel P. is always banging on about being Jewish, as if the persecution suffered by other Jews in other countries at other times somehow entitles her to be an ignorant lying bigot in England today. I still fume when I think of the damage she helped do during the MMR scare. Michael – yes, I was joking.

To be saved by Phelps homosexual hateing god she would need to convert. As far as the Phelps freaks are concerned shes just as destined for hell as the rest of us-unless shes some kind of masocist i doubt shes coughing up the dosh. As for Mel Gibson well that may be a different story Valdemar -Melanie Phillips may be a right winger but she is of the wrong abrahamic religion.

Where do the barmy Phelps clan get the money? I mean, I couldn't have gone out to stage 35,000 displays of ignorant bigotry and scripture-fuelled hate in my entire adult even if I wanted to. I have to get up and go to friggin' work. So who finances these bastards? What right-wing nutjob is sending cheques to crazy ol' Fred's numbered account in the KKK Bank of Zurich, Alabama? My money's on either Mel Gibson or Melanie Phillips. (If indeed they are two different people. Note the oddly similar names...) Okay, I give up. Where do the barmy Phelps clan get the money?
