What a sordid little mind...and he calls himself a man of god?

As I said, with regard to Shirley Phelps-Roper some time back:

...The congregation, very obviously, use street-level language (with absolute relish) to describe homosexuals. Not only this but they resort to extremely graphic language to describe the homosexual act and the human body in relation to that act. In every instance I've seen of this the graphic nature of the response, and the enthusiasm involved, is ridiculously out of proportion to the stimulus that has inspired that particular tirade. Look at the expression on Shirley Phelps-Roper's face (to use her as an obvious example) when she launches into one of these diatribes - utter joy.

I think these people actually enjoy the homosexual act that they claim so much to abhor - admittedly by a remove or two, but enjoyment nonetheless...

That observation would serve just as well for Pastor Manning, whose remaining vocabulary - what there is of it - struggles to emerge from a veritable forest of 'buttholes' in various stages of immolation and supposedly unnatural occupation.

You hate the act, Pastor Manning - but boy do you like talking about it...in detail. Why would that be?

It must be the flames from his butthole. They keep him warm.
 
Why would that be?

You don't have to be Freud to work that out...

I never really figured it out. If you don't like something, homosexual sodomy for example, then don't practice homosexual sodomy. Never seems that difficult really...
 
Lots of them endorsed Trump, but apparently his "Spiritual Adviser" who will be at the inauguration has angered some elements of the Christian Right.

I don't see what they're upset about. She seems to be doing the usual sort of thing that these people do.
I can think of two reasons, I'll let Emo Phillips explain the more generous one:
-------------
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
 
Call Five-0! They're predicting doom for Hawaii!

The Westboro Baptist Church is second only to Marjorie Taylor Greene for making asinine and hateful statements. On Friday, it issued a press release with the headline, "HAWAII IS GOING TO BE UTTERLY DESTROYED!" The rest of the headline is a word-salad of Bible quotes and bizarre sentences that make Dr. Bronner soap labels read like Stephen King in comparison:

The watchmen who were appointed in providence to warn the inhabitants of Hawaii utterly failed! Instead of warning against sin and death, they have championed the cause of idolatry, fornication, adultery, sodomy, pride – every behavior God called abominable and swore would bring destruction. The warning having failed, soon comes the judgment: "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." (Revelation 6:14) A shaking of heaven and earth so severe, the islands will be literally undone – the people will perish. But the servants of God at the Westboro Baptist Church know and love our King, and know that the scripture teaches that some of the human race will be delivered. We will therefore go and preach to the churches of Hawaii, warning those who go "there is death in the pot"! (2 Kings 4:40) Repent or be destroyed at the coming of Christ.
The Westborons, who forgot to ask God exactly when he planned to kill everyone in Hawaii, said they would visit three churches on Sunday to share the bad news. If you ask me, I think they just wanted a vacation they could write off as a church expense.

In Louis Theroux's latest recorded [2018-19] visit to the Phelps he addresses the events before Fred Phelps's death - he (apparently) changed his thinking on a lot of things and reached out to the 'rainbow house' of activists. His family seem to want to attribute this to illness and/or dementia symptoms: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0006vv7

"Surviving America's Most Hated Family

...In 2006 and again in 2011, Louis uncovered a world of indoctrination masterminded by church-founder and figurehead Pastor Fred Phelps, known amongst his congregation as Gramps. But since his death in 2014, the church has experienced a significant change that has threatened to tear apart what was once a tight-knit family community and challenged their relevance in Trump’s America, where outrageous statements are par for the course. As well as a series of allegations about Pastor Phelps’s final days, including rumours of mental illness and his excommunication, the church has also been hit by a number of high-profile family defections, including Pastor Phelps's granddaughter Megan, now Westboro’s most prominent critic. Yet despite the unrest, the church has continued to attract new members, including Bradford-born Mathias Holroyd, who sees Westboro’s fire-and-brimstone rhetoric as the perfect tonic to his struggle to fit in with modern-day Britain...."
