The Westboro Baptist Church

I know we kinda beat it to death in class today, but I'm just gonna blog about the Phelps family. This country really makes me angry. There is celebration and pride in the ideals of the country. But those ideals have yet to hatch into reality. I mean come on...freedom and equality for all? Sike. That hasn't happened yet. Obviously. If it was reality, out class wouldn't exist. I believe in equality for everyone, except for the Phelps family. I think as long as they preach hate the way they do, they should not be allowed to reproduce, to worship the way they do, or to have the freedom of speech. What they do is evil and very "un-American." And even more idiotically, ironically, and disgustingly, very un-Christian. Just because someone claims Christianity and wears a cross around their neck doesn't mean they are truly embodying the religion. Christians strive to be Christ-like. I don't remember Jesus walking through the streets of Jerusalem saying "my dad hates gay people."

I don't dislike many people, and hate even fewer, but I hate Fred Phelps and his family. But if I hate them, am I any better?
