this site has a looong expose of the sins of Fred Phelps and his utter hypocrisy. Among his crimes include perjury in a court of law, fraud, theft, drug addiction, child and wife abuse, gluttony, sloth, wrath, greed, tax evasion, and oh so many more…

According to these people, God made the Amish school shooting happen to punish the Amish, the Columbia space shuttle explosion was done to punish Israel, the Indian ocean earthquake occured as a punishment against Muslims, Hurricane Katrina was meant to kill all the gays in New Orleans. Other “acts of God” include the Sago mine distaster and the Virginia Tech Massacre.
Most horrible of all, on after 9/11, they went to ground zero and began protesting the fire fighters there, screaming that God wanted everyone left in that rubble to die. They held signs saying “NYFD Fags!” and insulted and harrassed survivors as they were being rescued.
Furthermore, they state with complete certainty that every person killed in the Iraq war is now in hell, as is the founder of the Patriot Guard Riders, Jerry Falwell, Gerald Ford, the Queen Mother, Mr Rogers, Frank Sinatra. When Pope John Paul II died, they added a page on their website that showed a picture of his Holiness engulfed in flames with screaming noises claiming he was now in hell.
Furthermore, they seem to believe everyone in America, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, and Sweden is doomed for hell.
