I hope there's no one left willing to carry on his work! I'm saddened when anyone dies, but this country could be a little quieter with him gone!

Jesus lives. That's all that matters.

The church is still there. In fact, they kicked Phelps a while back. The reasons are not certain, but two of his estranged kids said it was because he began advocating a "softer line". The church would hear of that.

But who knows? Maybe that church will begin to crumble under the weight of its own vitriol. One can only hope.

Sadly, two things sell well in many societies, fear and hate. Oft times they go hand in hand.

Hopefully this blot on Christianity, and society in general, is beginning to fade.

That would be great. We often soften as we age.
