Quote From: mommyjenna You're right, I can't imagine Jesus doing anything like that. Fred Phelps is a wacko.
The two idiots that beat him up, robbed him and then found out his address to rob his home as well. In the trial, they used the 'gay panic defence' saying they were afraid of Matthew. No mentions that they claimed they were Christian at all.

Besides, even if these two had said they were 'sent by God' or something that ridiculous, you can't go around making claims that "people who beat up gays are sleeping beside their Bibles." That's a serious allegation and it's also very wrong. (I know you didn't say this)
That would be like me stating that gay people kill muslim people, because I'm sure at some point in history a gay person has killed a muslim person. It's a completely unfair and unacceptable accusation.

that would be a completely fair accusation if gay people as a group went around condemning muslim people, AND THEN killed them, on more than one occasion, throughout history. then it would mirror the situation with gays and christians, and it would be a very fair statement indeed. fortunately, that doesn't happen.
