I just can't seem to get enough time to write out everything I want to say, so this will have to do. I'm exhausted and despite wishing I had the time to empathize about people I don't know, or be more than vaguely impressed by heroism and vaguely disgusted by villany, I don't. I'm so stressed I'm making myself sick in an extremely concrete way. I wish I could go back to college, where stress just gave me headaches. Anyways.
In the interests of letting my non-Christian friends know exactly what I think of that so-called Christian so-called preacher Fred Phelps: I think he's neither.
I believe he's a hypocrite who wilfully breaks one of the two most important rules of Christianity while calling himself a person who assists others in keeping the rules.
I believe he could use a good old-fashioned striking-blind conversion, like Saul of Damascus. That would make me very gleeful, because someone who claims to be a Christian and uses that fact to exempt themselves from responsibility thereof ought to be beaten briskly about the head and shoulders until they accept it. I also think it would be a good show if one of the greatest assholes of the century repented his ways and spent the rest of his miserable life making good.
I was hoping for a while that he'd be struck by lightning, but there's actually something else I think he could do that would be better, if he's not going to repent, and I seriously doubt that he is (though I'd love to be wrong).
I want him to die. Natural causes, hit by falling rocks, I'm not picky.
And when he dies, I want his funeral to be quiet and peaceful, attended only by his family and closest friends, a chance for all of them to grieve together and remember him, and I want each and every one of them to realize, when they leave the service, just what they have so wrongly denied to many others.
That's all.
