The Phelps are coming to the UK
Oh my. This from their schedule. My apologies for some of the language:
02/20/2009
6:45 PM – 7:30 PM
Basingstoke Hampshire, UKCentral Studio Queen Mary?s College – God H8s Ur Queen! Cliddesden Road In Merry Old England they plan to further enrage the Living God by putting on the farce known commonly as “The Laramie Project”. Now that is so interesting. We will picket them, and see if they actually believe those lies they tell about how tolerant and accepting Brits are. RIIIIGHT! Just because you rage against God and make laws that say you cannot use “hate speech” (a/k/a – you may not speak of the Bible standards) in the UK does NOT mean you will not get the message that God Almighty intends for you to get. God Hates England; Your Queen Is A Whore; You Hate God; God Hates You; You’re Going to Hell; Matt Is In Hell; Hell Is Real Ask Matt; God Hates Fags (Buggers); Obey God, etc. Some of the best Bible preaching in the history of the world came out of that dark dismal land, but now it is full of all abominations! God will shortly destroy the UK and the world, but not until they have gotten the plain, clear message so that they will be WITHOUT EXCUSE! Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: You can rage against and lie about God, but it changes NOTHING! Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. You see, WBC’s KING trumps your Queen! Check out our UK page at www.godhatestheworld.com and our Psalm 2 Music video at www.signmovies.net. AMEN!
I might suggest that the card which begins “Your Queen is…” will get them into a huge amount of trouble. For a start, it’s clearly libellous, and, if I’m not mistake, if held up by any British Citizen treasonable.
For the record, I’m quite happy to label all of them a bunch of bigotted homophobes. AND they have absolutely no idea about web design and readability.
I used to live down the street from the Phelps gang. Can you imagine what it was like to be neighbors of theirs? I got to see Fred and his gang almost everyday. They are definitely a sick bunch!
Peter,
No mistake. Any British Citizen assisting them in that endeavour would be “adherent to the King’s Enemies in his Realm, giving to them Aid and Comfort in the Realm, or else-where” which constitutes treason under the Treason Act 1351. (25 Edw. 3 stat. 5 C.2 )
So they could be charged with libel for the Queen thing-y. And couldn’t they also be charged with that law you have about inciting violence against homosexuals?
Do you have a link to their site?
If they banned that Dutch MP, it would only consistent to ban these people – and no doubt about its legality because they are not EU citizens. But of course that might backfire by giving them extra publicity.
Louis Theroux did a piece on them a while back. When they found out he was living with his grilfriend…
Perpetua – I think their site is GodHatesFags.com
Hi Gregory White,
Thank you directing me to the website. It was pretty hard for me not to think it was a bizarre joke, but I know it is real. I was interested to see that he was raised in Meridian Mississippi. And that he had a website “Priests Rape Boys”. I wondered what church he attended in Meridian as a boy.
The hate crime legislation as regards sexuality is not yet in force.
After all that I feel a bit timid in asking this, but what is the Laramie project? Is it a farce in the sense of a comic play, or do they just mean they don’t approve of it?
As for them: I think the fact that they have called their website godhatestheworld pretty much says everything about them one needs to know …
If I could be in Basingstoke on Fri I think I’d have the temerity to hold a placard saying, “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen”.
in friendship, blair
Spot on Blair.
Robert, the Laramie Project is a play about Matthew Sheppard. It’s drawn quite a bit of criticism as it plays loose with the actual events around his murder. That said, there is simply no excuse for what the Phelps are planning to do.
As for any British subject joining the Phelpses’ circus does the name Stephen Green spring to anyone else’s mind? Or would he be put off by their insults to the Queen (though not otherwise to fellow humans who are/support gay people)?
I think we should let Stephen Green speak for himself. To be honest, I don’t think he would get involved with the Phelps – they’re simply not his style.
No they’re not
