Fred Phelps' son: Father on 'edge of death'
Nate Phelps says Fred Phelps Sr. is in hospice care Posted: March 16, 2014 - 9:21am A son of Fred Phelps Sr., the controversial leader of Westboro Baptist Church, has posted on his Facebook page that his father was excommunicated from the church in August 2013 and is "now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka." Nate Phelps, who broke away from the church 37 years ago, made the Facebook post around midnight Saturday. "I've learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the 'God Hates Fags' Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the 'church' back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas," Nate Phelps posted. "I'm not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made. "I feel sad for all the hurt he's caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I'm bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes." Phelps Sr., an ordained minister who started Westboro Baptist Church in 1955, was known early in his legal career as an award-winning civil rights attorney. However, after his disbarment by the Kansas Supreme Court in 1979 and the surrender of his license to practice law in federal courts in 1989, Phelps became known for his crusade against homosexuals, marked by picket lines, the mass distribution of facsimiles and a multitude of lawsuits. http://tinyurl.com/ow5pbah "...devotion to God..." Now, that is a giggle. Phelps, Sr., is a horrible human being, and he and his followers engaged in horrific acts against perfectly decent people who had nothing to do with the insanity of the Phelps Cult. I'm no fan of the military, but picketing the funeral of a soldier killed in action so as to further upset that soldier's family in their time of grief has to be the lowest or damned close to the lowest form of human behavior. |

At the same time what is worse, what the westies did, or what the IRS did to the 2012 election.. I mean, both were terrorists trying to effect politics... |

There are obviously different strokes for different folks. Phelps had his 'god', in his mind, telling him to be an asshole. You have your god, sitting in the White House dicking with the Constitution and making stupid decisions, and, in your mind, telling you to be an asshole. Where's the difference? |

The "evolution" of believing in many gods to the belief in a single god is little more than the refining of a concept that some religions went through as their acolytes paid more attention to their environment and realized there were rational, science-based explanations for much of what was mysterious. Obviously, you aren't equipped intellectually to discuss these sorts of concepts without your usual junior high school name-calling. |

Harry, you take a simple statement , twist it around, then try to justify it. You really shouldn't try to confuse yourself lieke that... No confusion here. I'm merely questioning whether the god of Phelps, which you claim is different than "god," is in reality the same god. Keep questioning, Harry. You may get it figured out....eventually. I think it reasonable to assume that the god in question is the same entity man has conjured up over the dozen or so millennia in which we have an inkling of modern mankind's history. Totally silly. Some believe in one God, others believe in multiple Gods. To say it is 'the same entity ....over the dozen so millennia' is quite stupid, eh? You're little more than a ****ing joke, Krause. The "evolution" of believing in many gods to the belief in a single god is little more than the refining of a concept that some religions went through as their acolytes paid more attention to their environment and realized there were rational, science-based explanations for much of what was mysterious. Obviously, you aren't equipped intellectually to discuss these sorts of concepts without your usual junior high school name-calling. It is absolutely silly to think that all people believe in the same God, or that the concept of 'God' in which they believe is the same from individual to individual. If that were true, there would be no differences in religions. One man believed poison Kool Aid was the way to heaven, another believed protesting at military funerals was his way, and others believe dancing with snakes is the right way to honor their God. But then, attempting to explain something to you is futile. You're little more than a ****ing joke, Krause. As previously noted, you aren't equipped intellectually to discuss these sorts of concepts without your usual junior high school name-calling. Oh, and belief in a single god is not necessarily belief in the same god, although it could be. Interpretations differ. Looks like you finally get it. So impugning Tim's beliefs by displaying actions of Phelps is pretty stupid. But then again, you are a joke. |

It's simply my posit that man's concepts of god pretty much follow the same path and are pretty much the same, and have evolved as man has uncovered many of the mysteries of the natural world. God seems to be the concept many invoke when, among many issues, they don't (yet) understand their world. Both the old and new testaments discuss Sodom and Gomorrah, for example, and how god destroyed them, and just everything alive in them, including small and presumably innocent children. The same god who was transmogrified into the much kinder jesus? Did god evolve or did man's concept of god evolve? These are fairly deep questions, John, and so I can understand why you can't deal with them. Model airplanes are much more your speed. |

I simply posited that I thought that god of modern times is pretty much the same as god of ancient times, and that as man learned more about his natural world, his concepts of god and nature became more cerebral and, shall we say, civilized. Thus, my question, did god evolve or did man's concept of god evolve? I understand that could be an intellectually dangerous question. My feeling is that god is the same god, no matter where one might be on the space-time continuum and that, theologically speaking, the ancient Egyptian worship of a stone god is really no different than modern man's worship of a god who apparently only exists in the spiritual world. Note that I am not questioning the existence of god or the belief in god. I am simply discussing the nature of god, and whether man's perception of god has changed. Apparently you are not equipped to engage in such a discussion without making your usual snide comments. |

I don't consider you worth picking up in a doggie poop bag. I am glad to see that you believe '...that god is the same god...'. I respect your belief in God, even if you don't capitalize as appropriate. But then, spelling and punctuation have never been your strong point. |
