Now that the miserable old wretch has passed on, they're supposed to imagine a world where insensitive douche bags didn't add to their mental and emotional agony?
Yea, it is an odd article, I thought. I stumbled on it, looking for something else. I found his comments to be a bit confusing. Like people should 'be' like Fred Phelps, but not be like Fred Phelps? Sort of akin to admiring Hitler for being a 'go getter,' but you don't admire what he actually did. Weird.
