You know I thought I knew every Crazy Religious Nut out there, somehow this one
slipped under the Radar.
Shirley Phelps-Roper is one crazy Lady, from the pulpit of her Alabama Church she dispenese Lil Jewels of Religious wisdom to the Masses. She is just the epitome of "Baptists Gone WIld" . Shirley would feel most at home alongside other Religious Whack jobs who preach Death and Destruction to everyone on the most trivial transgression. Certainly Shirley believes she is a Poster Child of God. They say Terrorism comes in many forms, here and abroad, perhaps some should look in their own backyard as a start.
Unfortunately this woman can't be deported as she lives on US soil. Though for some reason I believe, she enjoys Tax Free Status as a Church. Taking that away would be a Fresh Start.
Of course one hopes in a perfect World God is looking down smiling waiting for the Day she expires and comes looking for Gods Favour as I am sure God will deliver her some Country Justice in the form of an Old Fashioned Can of Whup Ass.
Ottawans who remember August 1999 and Parliament Hill will know the name Shirley Phelps-Roper, and the woman who has been called The Most Hated Woman In America is back in the news again with her anti-homosexuality crusade, this time over the death of actor Heath Ledger, but she has some new shots against Canada as well.Reached on the phone to explain the link God Hates Canada on the website of her Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas -- headquarters of her war against the homosexuality she and church members say is destroying the world -- Phelps-Roper, 50, lawyer, mother of 11, says: "Canada is like the United States, a filthy, perverted, immoral, nation. America is doomed. The Bible prophesied all of this, the end time. God chose America to show the way, the Christian principles, but it's over, America is collapsing from within. Canada is doomed, too. I was so thankful to get out of your sick country. It has no hope."
Phelps-Roper had just got back from Los Angeles where, the night before, she and six others from the church, focusing on Heath Ledger, picketed the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awards, Phelps-Roper quite proud of her own signs that said God Hates Fags and Heath In Hell and God Hates Fag Enablers.
Ledger's sin? He played a homosexual in the movie Brokeback Mountain. Phelps-Roper: "God hates the sordid, tacky, bucket of slime, seasoned with vomit, known as Brokeback Mountain, and He hates all the persons having anything to do with it." (God watches movies? I wonder if he puts butter on his popcorn.)
Phelps-Roper says God delivered his punishment against the "fag agenda" in America through divine homicide: Hurricane Katrina, the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade Center, and -- get ready -- the Iraq war so He could kill thousands of U.S. soldiers, hoping the nation gets His message.

Don't pick yourself up off the floor just yet -- she also states: "It's the same with your country's soldiers who've been killed in Afghanistan; it's God's command against the fag agenda in Canada."
Phelps-Roper was in the local news back in '99 when she dispatched her father, Westboro Baptist Church pastor Fred Phelps, and one of her kids to Parliament Hill to protest the Supreme Court decision granting homosexuals equality and the right to use the word "spouse." The kid stomped on the Canadian flag.
A month after 9/11 Shirley Phelps-Roper and seven others entered Alberta where they waved God Hates Fags signs outside six Calgary churches and the Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills where her dad graduated after, she says, "the American college he enrolled in wouldn't accept blacks and he said 'I'm outta here.' " The Institute now, she says, "has lost its way."
I ask if she's sure God really hates poor, little Canada. Yep, and she refers me again to her church's website: Warning! To God's elect: Leave Canada now!!! followed by "Canada hoisted a filthy fag finger in the face of God by passing a law making any criticism of homosexuals a crime punishable by fines and imprisonment ... for years WBC has warned that Canada is a homo-fascist state where the filthy fag agenda has become the law of the land ... God hates Canada."
If one of Phelps-Roper's own children told her he/she was gay?
"They wouldn't tell us, they'd know better. They'd just slip away under the cover of darkness."
You'd disown them? "I wouldn't have to. They'd have disowned themselves. They'd be gone on their own."
How nice. The gospel according to The Most Hated Woman In America.

Hi Barry -- I totally agree with your sentiment but think we should change the title... some guys might get the wrong idea.

Obviously the Phelps clan does not read and STUDY the Bible. Here are two passages of interest. Jesus is talking to TRUE Christians (believers) when he says in Matthew 5:44-45, But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. The Phelps clan is responsible for LOVING, blessing, doing good, and praying in order to be sons of their Father in heaven. Hmmm. Remarkably, and in Biblical fashion, love comes first. Love of enemies does not include belittling them, yelling at them, diminishing their humanity, or dishonoring them. The Phelps ilk is to be blessing their enemies. To me, that is talking to them rationally, sharing the Word of God in love (for it is the Word of God that convicts the human spirit of need), doing good deeds for them, hugging them and weeping with them when they hurt, feeding them, meeting their basic human needs (love, food, shelter),etc. And, ultimately, praying for them. Now, I wonder how many of them actually pray fervently and with sincerity that the Spirit may convict unbelievers of their need for salvation!!! I think they forget God created the enemies in His image and loves everyone equally. The Phelpses of the world do not know whom God has chosen for His elect, thus some of those they curse and rail against could indeed be Saints (the elect). Christians are to be living witnesses; examples of heaven on earth in order that others may be saved. Now, the problem is they are NOT living as WITNESSES to the power of God. They may in fact be working against the Spirit of God, who speaks to the hearts of unbelievers.
And in John 3:16-17 we read and hear, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Now, if God sent a Son who did not condemn the world, what gives the Phelpses of the world the right to condemn anyone!?!?; Love and a gentle spirit are what turn the hearts of men toward the Father in Heaven.
I could go on, but...

That's Okay there Godboy, we get the picture. :0) Thanks for the comments though, they are appreciated.

Wow, what a hateful woman. What would Jesus Do? He wouldn't spew hate for starters.
at 13:09 on January 29th, 2008
Thanks everyone for your comments, as for Robs comment what God would do, a Big Ole "Bitch Slap" upside the head for Ms. Phelps comes to mind.

What a lot of people don't understand about true Christianity is that Jesus will save you regardless of your faults. And even after you're saved you don't have to be perfect to get into heaven. I don't believe in homosexuality, and as according to the Bible if you practice that lifestyle of unrepented sin you will go to hell. I also don't believe in fornication and lying, but there's a difference between someone who is saved and still has problems and someone who is living a lifestlye that is against the Word of God and is unrepented. I hope someone in Hollywood reached Heath before his unexpected death ... people like this woman usually are covering up something in their own lives that they don't like. God is love, not hate. I believe in the Bible it says "Speak the truth in love."
God is not for homosexuality, but He is for people. God loves people that's why He sent Jesus.

I think the Phelps clan are really extreme left-wing operatives that are striving to bring about censorship of the clergy in this country. Their attacks against fallen U.S. Soldiers, holding sign that say "Thank God for I.E.D's" will ultimately lead to restriction of what can be said or done under the auspices of religious freedom..
The Phelps are very bad people.

Has anyone ever noticed that Shirley Phelps Roper looks like something out of a Stephen King movie? UGLY HAG!
