Son of a preacher man.

Son of a preacher man.
Nate Phelps, the son of Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church, held a speech at the 2009 American Atheists convention. You can find it here:

I would encourage anyone to read this, even though it is a lengthy piece.

Quote:At the age of 7, I could recite all 66 books of the Bible in 19 seconds. My father insisted on this because he was frustrated at waiting as his children flipped back and forth trying to find the verses he was preaching from. Afterwards, if one of us took to long my father would stop in the middle of his preaching, cast a gimlet eye on the offender and demand that, “Somebody smack that kid!”
Best regards,
Leo van Miert
