"There are no innocent people. Thank God for 9/11, thank God for dead soldiers, thank God for IED's. There are no innocent people." (Shirley Phelps-Roper)
Following my previous blog, I'm still passionate about discussing how horrible religious hypocrisy is. I really love what Steven Weinberg said about religion: with or without religion, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.
I think that a religious freak is no better than a serial killer (yes, I'm saying it). The people like Amrozy and FPI guys are just a bunch of wicked bigots who think they have the right to decide whether you can live or die, whether you deserve heaven or hell. These religious hypocrite people may think they deserve their god's love and heaven, but surely they don't deserve a place in a civilized society at all.
And this is one example of devilish religious freak.
Shirley Phelps-Roper
Okay, now you're asking: Who the heck is this Shirley Phelps-Roper? Before you continue reading, click here or here to watch one of her 'annoying' videos that probably will make you want to smash your PC.
Ignore her greasy hair, what this obnoxious mother of 11 said on the interviews was just even--let's say--lamer, right?
Shirley Phelps-Roper is the minister of the Westboro Baptist Church in the USA. She and her followers are often characterized as a hate group. For me, she is the one who likely becomes the real witch of 21st century, the evil woman, the delusional nutbag, and the other version of religious hypocrite like Indonesian Habib Rizieq (and yes, the WBC is the FPI in Indonesia--same same but different).
She and her followers are trying too hard to be the modern day 'prophet', but it seems to lead her more to be the modern day witch. This mad woman preach hatred aggresively for gays, cheerleaders, Sean Penn (who won Oscar for his role potraying a gay activist in movie 'Milk'), Barrack Obama (calling him Antichrist because he said 'Happy Holiday' instead of 'Merry Christmas'--for the love of god...), Heath Ledger (because of something we--sane people--won't understand), and... yeah... maybe everyone after all. They demonstrate on the street, spread hatred for homosexuals and harshly offend them (with their "God Hates Fags" campaign). They also demonstrate at American AIDS clinics, claiming that those people deserve the HIV because they're sinners. They disrupt the funerals of American soldiers, causing the soldier's family unbelievable distress.
Tell me, what kind of human who demonstrates and graciously thanks God for someone's death in his own funeral?! Yes, the mad and evil one. Well, madness and evil are the part of this life you cannot completely get rid off. But it's disheartening so much because Shirley and her followers also offend group of people proclaiming god, the Christianity and the gospels, as if it is what the religion teaches mankind.
This witch is currently on the list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom for "fostering extremism or hatred". Let's just hope she doesn't get banned from buying shampoo or entering at least a beauty parlour. I'm totally serious.
