Oh oh oh, I've found a Bible verse that totally discredits the Phelps!
Proverbs 17:5 “Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.”
END.OF.STORY.

I think the Phelps are pretty good at discrediting themselves. It's sweet of you to help them though . Jx

But I just discredited them on their OWN terms, ie a slavishly literal and fundamentalist submission to the authority of the Bible in its entirety. Like I said I said when it comes to the scriptures these people know their shit, so its utterly pointless to debate them from a Christian perspective like they where trying to do on Jermey Kyle unless you also know your shit.

Yeah, but it's utterly pointless to debate them from any perspective.
They're dogmatic and deluded.
No one takes them at all seriously.

I'm just tired of them (in my eyes at least) WINNING ever debate they have on TV. To me they stay calm and smug while everyone shouts disgustedly at them. Not even that Minister they had on seemed to know the Bible very well.
But then it's a sensationalist story, that only sensationalist news outlets are taking up, we aren't going to get Jeremy Paxman, where going to get Jeremy Kyle...

I'd like to have a few moments alone in a room with that witch.
I absolutely hate it when people believe that they are 100% right and can't comprehend the fact that they have no proof that god is purposely, for instance, killing these soldiers in Iraq etc. It's ridiculous to go to these lengths and make these comments without any solid proof!

Well in their minds The Bible is the only authority on ANYTHING, anything else is irrelevant so they believe they are 100% right. So the only way to beat them is beat them over the head with there own Bible (metaphorically of course, though doing it literally would be fun as well)

I remember a while back in school we had man talk to us in a chapel service, and he went on about how the bible is proof that god exits. I still find that rather naive, however i can see how they'd want to believe it all. I guess if i had more of a religious upbringing my view might be slightly different.
