Apparently, God hates Sweden now, along with America, Canada, and "fags"

Jacen and everyone else...please don't associate Christianity with this man or any of his church!

Whoever he is, he has his reward. More coming his way.
To love God's children, all God's children......a privilege.

Hey, Albert, I agree!

I have to reiterate what others have said. Phelps is the face of Xianity that I have experienced my entire life. While I agree that it would be inappropriate to paint all Xians with the same brush merely because there are people like him in the movement, given that he represents such a large and vocal part of the movement, I think it is perfectly fair to associate Xianity with people like Phelps. It is pure fantasy to think he is just a fringe whacko in an otherwise benign group.

You have experienced Christianity in no other way? An individual who showed what it is to be Christ-affected?It is more than fair to associate Christianity with his kind. Since it is factions of Christianity who allow this type to attach itself and become spokesperson and are drawn into the maelstrom of such rhetoric that loses all semblance of the philosophy of its founder.The way the ayatollah and Hussein have become spokespersons for islam.
And islam is viewed through their perpetrations.Groups are never benign. Groups are most always political movements, with wordly goals. An authentic Christian has no such goals.

Thank you and my personal needs are met by your statement.

Wish we could have a face to face. As it is, this medium is poor to express what Christianity in all its isms really presents and not the Christ, but themselves, with individual exceptions, I tell you I run as fast as I can from the collective.And, therefore, I agree with you.

A setting like this, although conducive to a touch here and there, cannot handle the many facets of your previous post and where they would lead to be explored. You understand this as well.
But your Christian friends are their brother's keeper, at least they love a friend? and should be willing to take him the distance they have come? Here is what I know - they could say - and so much more I do not yet understand - but Christ said come let us reason together and nowhere does it say the questions cannot be tough as steel.
A three-beer first chat, and then many other chats. For sure!
