Hence the question about Orthodox Christians, since they:
1) Have a somewhat different Bible, and more importantly
2) Don't believe in sola scriptura as Protestants do, and
3) Are the oldest branch of the religion (i.e. they're not some recent splinter group that decided one day to up and throw out sola scriptura) |

No, I'm not done because you haven't answered anything.
1) Are you including Orthodox Christianity in with your first statement?
2) Do you realize there are huge differences between the Christianity I assume you're talking about and the original? |

I've done a bit of reading on this family and it appears as though many of Fred Phelps' children are also cousins. I've long been of the opinion that families with family trees consisting of a single branch should be put down. I would do so with cold-hearted, calculated emotionlessness as if I were discarding garbage. It's a crying shame that in the US, with all its guns and psychos, no-one can find it within their hearts to exterminate those maggots. |

I wish God would learn to take better aim.
When he decided to strike down homosexuals with AIDS a lot of other innocent people got infected as well.
Now that he's decided to cause a war in Iraq to punish Americans a lot of innocent Iraqis are getting killed as well.  |

Sometimes when they're (the group that is) messed up enough they end up taking care of that themselves:

I'd say there's a big chance something like this happens with Phelps' family as well. |

Beautifully put.
There are dozens of others which should be rounded up and tossed in the same ditch, namely the ones who can't understand that nobody wants their Kool-aid, yet insist on slinging it door to door. |

You posted this not all THAT long ago:

Just in case you didn't pick up on it, you're being prejudice against Christians. But I'm sure you won't be able to see how your view is prejudice.

With me? When did you ever have any discussion with me?
This is EXACTLY what one of my Christian friend says about Atheists. It's uncanny! You two would get along like a house on fire!

I have NO problem. IF you feel the Bible isn't relevant, that isn't my PROBLEM at all. I dare say it isn't ANYONE'S problem. |

They're just helping America open its eyes to the realities of religion. I hope they get a variety show and a weekly time slot, right next to American Idol.

Yep, just like the devil planned all along...get people to think that this is the way "Christians" think and act. |
