Chris Mason interviews Shirley Phelps of the "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church

Chris Mason, Founder of http://Phelps-A-Thon.com stops in Topeka, Kansas to visit the infamous "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church.

Concealing his activist identity, he sat down for a conversation with Shirley Phelps, the daughter of Fred Phelps and new leader of the group to get a better understanding of why the groups feels the need to spread their hateful message.

In this clip, Chris asks Shirley Phelps her opinion of the Phelps-A-Thon counter-protests that, unbeknownst to her, he organizes and promotes.

Imagine if a scientist behaved like God...They would tinker around with human genes to make a subhuman type of specimen solely for the purpose of torturing the lifeform in a cage with a blowtorch. Hmmmm...Perhaps the "heaven" that God has to offer could be even more cruel just to "prove God's soverignty."

The first Bibles are the truth, the ones re-written a million times has nothing to do with the fact that the atoms didn't CREATE THEMSELVES LOL. They didn't, there are 100's of subatomic particles ALL working together, MADE for each other, in each atom. Now if the atoms made themselves then are sure is smart lol.But they aren't, they were created because durrr they're here, and they didn't create themselves because durrr they don't have intelligence.Speed of light is in Holy Quran as well, so ha

Why don't you all fucking grow up and realize that god does not exist.And yes I did write god with a small g.The Bible was written by lots of people who could not have ever met this fictional character known as Jesus because it is only 500 yrs old, so why does it matter what some stupid twat called John says.

1 John 4:8 says "He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love." Ezekiel 18:32 says ' "For why should you die? [He is addressing Israel (at the time), but it concerns everyone in the world] For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord God. "Therefore turn and live!" ' God does not want anyone to die, contrary to the WBC message, (which is therefore contrary to God.)

When God talks about hardening people, this does not mean condemnation necessarily. Sometimes he hardens our hearts at first so He can prove Himself to us. Then we have the choice to follow Him or reject Him. This is what the Bible talks about. Ultimately, it is our choice to either follow or reject Him when we are made aware of Him. He often brings us to the ground rock bottom and into darkness so we can see that we need Him. then we are blessed with His Life. Deliberate rejection=judgement.

[classicalnut1]

this whole thing about God creating some so he can 'kick their ass': God says he is merciful on whom he wants and hardens those he want to harden TO SHOW HIS POWER. However, God gave us free-will. Though we may be hardened, we are aware of it. Pharaoh in the Bible was told he had been hardened by Moses, but Pharaoh still, fully aware of his actions, refused to listen to God. Satan knew the results of his own rebellion beforehand, but did that stop him? We are not robots.

lol god created you to kick your ass

[blackkakashi128641]

this is silly....i googled "brute beasts bible" and it says this in psalm 73:21-22 " 21 When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,

22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.

David says that he was a brute beast BEFORE YOU. God makes a new creation out of you the old has gone the new has come. obviously these people have not looked in the bible and make judgements before looking deeper.. very bad image for the real Christians out there...

@JAB63096 Louis Theroux, an openly atheist/agnostic journalist for the BBC, did two specials on Westboro. The first one was called "The Most Hated Family in America" was made in 2007, and he did a second one in 2011 called "America's Most Hated Family in Crisis."
