Fred Phelps / Phelps Family / Westboro Baptist [mega-merged]

Re: Could Fred Phelps had been the noblest man on Earth?

For decades, Fred Phelps was a living paradox. Back in the 50s and 60s, he was a strong advocate of civil rights. As a lawyer, he would protect the black people who were arrested for peaceful acts of protests. At times, he was so frustrated by people's prejudices that he would lose his temper in the courtroom.

Then he disappeared for a couple decades. When he came back into the public light, he was now the hateful Fred Phelps that most people now know of.

In a way, his open hostility against gay people has furthered gay rights by light years. How? It turned people off about anti-gay propaganda. The more hate he and his family spewed out to the open public, the more people he converted to our side. Think reverse psychology.

My theory is perhaps after his frustration with the system regarding black people's civil right movement, he became convinced that the prejudices against gay people were too subtle for any progress to be made. If we look at history, often times the status quo remained until all hell broke loose. But with the civil right regarding gay people, the systematic prejudices against haven't been dramatic enough for a speedy change.

What if Fred Phelps purposefully sacrificed himself and his family by making them into the most hated family in America to simulate the drama we needed to convert just enough people to our side?

If I'm right, this would make Fred Phelps the noblest man of our generation.

Because beating your children with a frayed barber's strap to reverse psychology the homophobes makes soooo much sense.

Game, set, match.

Re: Could Fred Phelps had been the noblest man on Earth?

It appears that some have a hard time grasping the fact that while Phelps may have been a champion of civil rights causes when younger, that he somehow turned into a hateful bigoted bastered in later years. It's completely plausable and I suspect the truth of the matter.

Westboro is still tax exempt, right?

Re: Could Fred Phelps had been the noblest man on Earth?

Now wait a minute, zombie may be on to something. maybe all those people who bomb abortion clinics are actually pro-choice. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? Nobody wants to be associated with a bomber. So they kill a few people, destroy tens of thousands of dollars worth of property and, voila, you probably haven't changed any minds but at least you made a strong pro-choice statement. "Right to choose or bust."

Again, this is an unfair comparison. The Phelps hurt people's feelings. Mega churches, on the other hand, do lasting damages to our community with their hundreds of millions of dollars and political correctness.

If FP really was a crazy old man, which he probably was, I think our anger could be better spent on the mega churches rather than the Phelps.

You are not the only one who has had this theory. I have also questioned if that was really the man's intention. However, if it was, surely it would have come out from family members who left the church.

Just a very, very baffling individual because I have stated for years that Fred Phelps was a gay person's very best friend. Phelps has done more to further gay rights in this country and help change more opinions faster than probably just about anybody.

Not that baffling. He was a very angry man already as a civil rights attorney. My guess is the constant toil with little evidence of real progress made him bitter, and bitterness can make people look for scapegoats. We were it.

This is not the first time in history that a lawyer reading the Bible has made it an instrument of hate, and it won't be the last.

Westoro Phelps Progeny's pro-gay observation hits the nail on the head.

Yay! for Nate Phelps.

Well done to him, and an even bigger one for escaping from that horrendous cult.

Yes, clearly he got caught up in a strong customer of wind that came from a gay man's fart.

Lots of hope..

I heard not only Nathan outed himself from the cult but a handful of Shirley Phelps children (8? I guess) are starting to separating themselves ..one by one..

Once they enter 20 something, they starting to have epiphany and sound judgement..about this whole cult, and that's when they start to questioning/challenge the truth..

I heard Megan (the eldest daughter of phelps) is the successor of Westboro but even her, I dont think she has the same fire as her wrecked cunt-mother..
plus..dozen of members plucked out in alarming rate!
This cult will end sooner than we expected.
