Anyone heard of him?

Yeah, pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church. Not a nice or good man; not nice or good at all.

And that's putting it very, very mildly.

I think he's in dire need of psychiatric care, and he gives Christians in general a very bad name (in fact, I know people who think he's representative of us!).

A complete whackjob! (and so is the rest of his church that follows him!)

There's a special circle of hell reserved for Phelps and his followers.

Really? I think they are aware of what they are choosing to do.

This is a heinous subject...let's talk about something more enjoyable...how was your root canal?

Yes, but they CHOOSE to follow him. That is the problem. Nobody's putting a gun to their heads.
