I agree. It's not an image anyone should have put in their minds and I thoroughly disown it.

But then, the internal politics of backwards, insulated cults are often so interesting. He lost his religion, first becoming a moderate Christian and then an atheist. He spoke at the Rally for Reason about his deconversion experience and his pain at being cast out from his family. Quote from the Rally for Reason speech, about when he made the shift from trying to find a moderate, more loving version of Christianity to atheism: Nate Phelps Wrote:Then, one sunny September morning, the illusion of a personal God that I tried so hard to believe in, exploded over the skies of Manhattan. Even as the ashes and ruin of this horrific act of blind faith settled over New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, I watched people across the country scrambling to that same irrational altar for their answers. In the fierce storm of emotion that rolled across this country, one realization rose to the surface of my mind with blinding clarity: certainly this mechanism of unassailable blind faith is one of the greatest risks mankind faces today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Phelps

I'd prefer for him to live a few more years with pineapples being inserted up his ass everyday so he could realize his stupidity. If the fucker dies, he'll die stupid.
And sweetly stuffed.

Perhaps he misspelled "FAGS" on one of their signs? I doubt it takes much.
