Running from Hell

Running from Hell
Id like to show you this article on Nate Phelps, who basically escaped from the Westboro Baptist Church, in particular his father Fred Phelps.

Interesting read, including the comments.
Best regards,

RE: Running from Hell
Interesting read. The whole WBC thing saddens me more than anything. How anyone can buy into it's dogma of pure hatred is beyond me.

There are countless bible passages about compassion for your fellow man, how can none of these bleed into the WBC ideology?

RE: Running from Hell
I agree with the guy about the fear ... eventually I suppose it does go away but I had nightmares a long way into adulthood and the only thing that stopped them was the final realisation that I was an atheist about 15 years ago, it's still there but it no longer bothers me much. That was only RC indoctrination so Christ knows what that poor b@stard goes through in his head.
