A radical Baptist church in Kansas known for picketing the funerals of soldiers who perished in Iraq said it intends to protest Heath Ledger's memorial service with signs claiming the actor died and is in Hell because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”

These people will recognize some of the same people the disgraced in this life.

By being with them in hell.

I am tired of anyone talking in a manor of glee at anyone maybe going to hell!

If the Angels rejoice at the saving of a soul.

Must they also weep at one who dies in sin!

I pray for Health Ledger's fmaily that they find a greater relationship with Christ through this time of loss...

Health's soul has already been sealed.

I say the same thing to a soldier in Iraq or any army.

All souls who are lost make me feel so guilty that I know God in his mercy and saving Grace.

This is our cross to bear that we reach out to everyone with the goodness of God.

Everyone else can continue to serve God out of the benefits and gain.

As for me I am in a place to count that all loss when a soul is lost.

I do not want to know anything among you --- Save Jesus Christ and him Crucified.......

My faith rest in him and his grace leads me to his mercy.

His mercy towards me is the crimson flow of Blood that never ends.

This group has some major issues... I think what ticks me off is they do it all in the name of Christ.

Re: Fred Phelps to protest the funeral of actor He

Hilarious article. Mike Adams is one of my favorite writers.

Fred Phelps Goes Down Under

By Mike S. Adams
Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Fred Phelps, the pastor and head lunatic of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas (call 785-273-0325 or visit godhatesfags.com) has written an open letter to the family of Heath Ledger. In the short letter is a demand that the Ledger family divulge the time, date, and place of the late actor’s burial in Perth, Australia, so WBC can go - in respectful proximity - and conduct a “religious service.”

Fred Phelps has already caused untold suffering and pain to the families of dead American soldiers by protesting their funerals with signs proclaiming that “God Hates America” because “Gad Hates Fags” and America tolerates them. He even proclaims on his website that Americans should celebrate Improvised Explosive Devices as a gift from a God who is punishing the soldiers by blowing them up – again, for America’s crime of tolerating homosexuality.

Phelps says that Heath Ledger would want the Westboro clan (or perhaps, Klan) to appear at his funeral for three reasons:

1. As a warning to the living that they should repent, "lest they also come into this place of torment. The church claims that Heath is pleading right now for somebody on earth to preach the truth to his family, unless they, too, “join him in Hell.”

2 If Heath could come back to life to speak to his loved ones on earth, he would “lift up his voice in a hideous scream,” in order to say "Listen to Phelps! For God's sake, Listen to Phelps.”

3. Finally, that the Ledger family owes it to the youth of a world that Heath misled in his movie "Broke Back Mountain" – specifically by misleading them into believing it was permissible, morally speaking, to be gay.

The open letter closes by saying, “All those whom Heath misled will arrive ultimately in Hell, and they will curse Heath to his face throughout all eternity. Please tell us the time, date, and place of Heath's funeral in Australia. Thank you.”

I’m going to surprise many people by joining in the request that Fred Phelps and his congregation be given information that would lead him to the funeral and burial place of Heath Ledger. Providing this information to these lunatics would, in my constitutionally protected opinion, have three principal benefits:


1. Relaxing Gun Control in Australia. Recent restrictions on gun ownership in Australia have had deleterious effects on public safety. In fact, the rise in crime accompanying the rise in gun control in Australia provides just the kind of natural experiment needed to refute the claims of anti-gun propagandists like Michael Moore. But after Fred and his violently bigoted gang of terrorists show up down under – and there are no guns handy to re-establish the peace – Australians will be demanding the return of full rights to gun owners. And, clearly, the left and right will be united against this unspeakable coward.

2. Getting Fred Phelps out of America. It should go without saying that the second advantage to getting the WBC congregation to Australia is that it will get them out of America. Once gone, we can then deny Phelps and company re-entry as a punishment for their treasonous acts as Americans. There is little use denying that WBC is a terrorist organization, which has provided comfort and aid to America’s enemies in a time of war – both with their speech and with their actions. Keeping them out of the country may seem harsh but it is not nearly as harsh as the penalty they truly deserve for committing treason: death.

3. Getting Fred Phelps ready for the prospect of hell. It would be a good idea to let Fred go down under before he really goes down under. In January, it is quite hot in Australia. It’s not as hot as hell but it should allow him to acclimate before making his final destination.

Of course, it isn’t me who says Fred Phelps is going to hell; it’s actually Fred Phelps.

I’ve always said that gays were among the angriest people on the planet and, clearly, since Fred Phelps is so angry he must be gay. And the gays would agree with my assessment. They’ve always said that people who criticized gays are also gay. Hence, the gays agree with me that Fred is one of them.

Of course, this is all bad news for the obviously gay Phelps who says that gays are going to hell. Maybe he forgot to read Matthew 7:3 about “the log that is in (his) own eye.” And maybe that log is big enough to build a log cabin for two. Or start a campfire on his personal Broke Back Mountain in hell.

Re: Fred Phelps to protest the funeral of actor He

I don't agree with the methods that Fred Phelps or his groups uses. Protesting a funeral is in very poor taste. However I have to admit that he is one of my guilty pleasures. I like the fact that he doesn't compromise. Think about how many people have died from AIDS related complications due to homosexual activity. Think of all the women that have been infected with HIV from their husbands. What is so terrible about calling homosexuality an abomination? Again I don't agree with protesting the funerals or celebrating anyone going to hell. I do agree with him standing boldly against homosexual behavior. Its obviously not good for your health.

But there is a time and place, and most of all, a way in which one should express their beliefs. We all agree in theory with him about homosexuality being an abomination but this does not give him license to go against other Godly principles to get his message across.

His vile, venomous ways of expressing his thoughts, greatly diminishes his message. Sure, God hates sin, but he LOVES the sinner.

Where is the love for mankind, the grief over a lost soul?

There is only vile rethoric spewing from his mouth and frankly he (FP) will NOT win many with is methods.....except maybe a few fellow crazies.

How can a sane person be this way? It doest make sense.

How can a "christian", full of Gods love be so Vile??

they CANT.....

Re: Fred Phelps to protest the funeral of actor He

Fred Phelps gives a black eye to all of Christendom. He's a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the cause of Christ. What a pity we Apostolics are far too busy bickering amongst ourselves to get out there with as much fervor, only toned by compassion.

It is quite evident that there is no shortage of ignorance among "Christians"

Is this any big surprise to anyone?

And, once again, as I do every Fred's name pops up, I solemnly disavow any relation to the man. He's a wacko.
