If you have never been to GodHatesFags.com, don't bother. It will only make you angry or want to puke or both. That notorious website is the home of Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. It is the handiwork of Fred Phelps and his family who regularly show up at funerals of gays, and service members to parade with their inflammatory signs.
To say they are inflammatory is putting it mildly. Their demonstrations often are the source of angry and sometimes violent backlashes by people enraged at the rhetoric used by the Phelps cult.
Now Phleps estranged son comes forward to talk about the "church" and his less than perfect family life. Nate Phelps now lives in British Columbia and drives a cab. He and his family are happy to be away from his radical father and his angry messages.
In an interview for Vision TV, Phelps tells of his father abusing his mother and constantly haranguing his children with threats of hell. Sounds like Nate lived in a hell for quite a while before he left for good in 1980.
More here at the Gazette.

"Pastor" Phelps is evil and insane. How he can spread a message of hate and still call himself a Christian is beyond me. I can't believe I was on the same side of an issue as Bill O'Reilly, but I applaud his offer to pay the court costs for that family!
