Fred Phelps has a new truck!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Saw this tonight in downtown KC. Also saw some of his family members, especially this little girl:

[EFerrari]

1. Those people look like extras from a Stephen King movie.

:rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

4. LOL! They do!

Just in time for Halloween.

:rofl:

[Catshrink]

5. They don't like Halloween either

just my guess.... many of the fundie extremists don't.

[EFerrari]

8. They don't like anything. That's their job.

[me b zola]

87. They don't like anything that they crave

'It's the devil's work to desire something--therefore I must kill it.'


I can't imagine being so obsessed with something unless I was obsessed with that something. :dunce:

[beam me up scottie]

9. A family of fundies recently moved across the street from one of my friends.

My friend and her family go ALL OUT for Halloween, their house makes the local news every year, they absolutely love it.

The neighbors decided instead of just "not being home", they're going to leave the lights on and hand out Chick Tract-ish pamphlets to the kids who call on them.

[Swamp Rat]

12. LOLOL!!!!!

:rofl:

[me b zola]

20. They *are* from a Stephen King movie

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

101. I see the guy from The Exorcist in there too.

To the left. I'm guessing he's the clean-up crew.

It's a reunion of horror.

[Marr]

75. You underestimate them.

They look like *leads* in a Stephen King movie.

[proud2BlibKansan]

110. They are rather zombie like.

:rofl:

[TlalocW]

2. Nice glowing eyes

Really helps add to the Village of the Damned look they have.

TlalocW

[Gregorian]

3. It's the anti-sodomymobile!

God, those people look like they were dug up from some pre-civil war cemetery.

[regnaD kciN]

6. Those aren't the Phelpses...

It looks like another group of uber-fundie loons. These ones are "TruthTruckUSA.com" instead of "GodHatesFags.com" -- besides, their signs condemn "homosexuals," whereas the Branch FredPhelpsians prefer "fags," "sodomites," or even "buttf*ck*rs." :puke:

[proud2BlibKansan]

111. We talked to them

They are part of his church.

[RiverStone]

7. That poor kid!

I wonder is she is also being told the earth is flat? Maybe we should set up a Counseling Fund....

[HughMoran]

10. Yikes! What kind of person pedals hate in Jesus' name?

I don't want to hear anyone call these people Christians, because they are not. Menally ill is my diagnosis.

[beam me up scottie]

13. christians.

That's who.

They've been doing it for a couple thousand years now.

And as you can see, fundies can use bible verses to back up their beliefs just like other christians.

No one's religious belief makes them any better than anyone else.

[Dark]

23. Conservative christians.

Not all of them are bad.

And Jesus was a pretty cool hippie.

[beam me up scottie]

24. They're still christians.

And Jesus was a jew. :)

[spoony]

27. And damn it that justifies your hatred of all of 'em!

[beam me up scottie]

29. Nice personal attack, there spoony. The guys in the truck could use the help.

I'll put in a good word for you. ;)

[spoony]

35. Your broad-brushing bigoted smearing of religion is as well

documented as your love of playing the victim after you're called on it. No one with a functioning synapse is falling for it anymore.

[beam me up scottie]

39. Who is smearing who in this thread, spoony? I'm not even alerting so that everyone can see the love.

And when did saying christians are no better than anyone else become "broad-brushing bigoted smearing of religion".

Am I required to defer to your superior morality?

[spoony]

43. Anyone with a search button can look for themselves at what

you've posted in your career here, that which hasn't been deleted anyway.

[beam me up scottie]

45. I get the feeling someone's hateful posts will be deleted soon.

Calling people names and falsely accusing others is against the rules.

And very unchristian I've been told.

[beam me up scottie]

51. Are you inferring the mods don't do their job?

Because they delete the bigoted stuff all the time.

I guess things like "christians are no better than anyone else" must not register that high on their offendometers.

I'm sure they'd delete your posts calling me names if I alerted on them.

But I won't.

You just prove my point.

Christians aren't any better than the rest of us.

[spoony]

55. Ah yes, I point no one argued. Good job! Now go tell people how

pollution is bad. If posters like you would just follow what you say, and treat believers as the equals of nonbelievers, and not make broad brush attacks on religious groups, then GD would be that much nicer.

[beam me up scottie]

57. Post some of those "broad brush attacks on religious groups" then.

Back up your bullshit for once.

[spoony]

61. Are you joking? Here's just a glance

We're stains!

That's two minutes in r/t, and every other day in GD. The arrogant, nose-in-the-air bullshit that anti-theists spout at DU is astonishing, and then pretend they're so oppressed.

[beam me up scottie]

64. In reply:

1.) A book review. Posted for discussion in the Religion Forum. Oh the horror. You were saying?

2.) What the hell is wrong with what Az asked? Jesus Christ, spoony, he's the nicest atheist on this board.

3.) An atheist wanting to put religion in the dumpster is considered an attack on a group?

4.) Sorry, criticizing organized religion is NOT an attack on a group.


Nice try, but I'll hold off on the sympathy cards and flowers for now.
Not to mention, I've seen plenty of atheists jump in to defend believers on DU, and I'm on record doing it myself.
Everyone can find plenty of posts to be offended by if they look hard enough.

Get over yourself.

[spoony]

69. You can try to rationalise all of them, and split hairs by saying that

wanting to wipe out religion is somehow NOT about religious people, but that's just page one. There's plenty more.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3020708#3020721
That's right, when Christians are killed it's because they were annoying

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1997283#1997463


Oh, and for general scorn toward religious people I'd suggest perusing the Clinton and her religion threads a few weeks ago. And when Pelosi talked about prayer? Calls to remove her from her position.

This is with the most casual Googling/browsing in a few minutes.

[beam me up scottie]

74. Oh, for Christ's sake...

The first comment doesn't even mention religion.

You have a lot of nerve criticizing UP after everything she's been put through by your more devout brethren. I don't blame her for hating that god. She should.

The third one is absolutely hysterical.


What's wrong with a poster answering God?
God started the thread, didn't He read the rules first?

I'm not chasing any more of your links.

You are obsessed with being persecuted, spoony.

I suggest you move to one of the countries where christians are really oppressed if you wish to indulge your fantasies.

Because that isn't happening on DU.

And you STILL haven't explained why you attacked me.

[spoony]

81. Your words betray you. You call the RWers and nasty Christians the "more devout" ones

So what are the liberal Christians? Less devout? Less true to what is really Christian to you?

[beam me up scottie]

84. You're all christians, deal with it.

I can't help you with your issues, go piss on someone else's Cheerios.

Christians who compare their plight on DU to that of people who ARE persecuted daily in this country and others are vain and delusional.



You should be ashamed.

[spoony]

85. Why? I didn't kill him.

The fact that you want someone to be "ashamed" because of what someone else does who says they're a Christian is quite telling. Oh, and I didn't say Christians are persecuted. I said you're a bigot.

[beam me up scottie]

86. You once again deliberately misinterpreted my words. How predictable.

:applause:

Who said I was talking about you?

How about a little more swearing and calling me names?

I need some more stuff to put in my journal.

Besides, we DU atheists wear your insults and attacks as badges of honour and I think this thread puts me ahead of the rest of them. :patriot:

[spoony]

"You should be ashamed"

Yeah, clearly that had nothing to do with me. The repetitive "you"s in the post notwithstanding. So why DID you decide to post that apparently random pic eh?

[beam me up scottie]

92. I'm still waiting for your explanation.

Why did you personally attack me repeatedly tonight?

[spoony]

94. You ask that like it's a holiday or something.

Tonight isn't special, I just saw you trying to force these miscreants onto a religion that doesn't want them and decided, well why NOT tonight?

[beam me up scottie]

98. It's THEIR religion, too, spoony. It CAN'T reject anyone. It isn't sentient.

As far as anyone can tell, they are as christian as you.

Of course, they are attacking homosexuals while you're attacking liberal atheists.

But then, as far as christianists are concerned, we're all the same.

[spoony]

100. It can't reject anyone. We can. We do. You don't care though.

You LIKE lumping us all together. Hell in the last few posts you've slowly begun equating me with gay bashers and murderers.

As far as anti-theists are concerned, we're all the same.

On edit: It's late, I've said all I want to. I'll leave you to twist and smear to your heart's content.

[beam me up scottie]

102. From what I understand about your religion, judgment is something reserved for the Big Guy.

But keep trying. Maybe they'll let you be a shoeshine boy when you get where you're going.



an edit for your edit: Don't worry, I've immortalized your performance here tonight. And if nobody alerts on your ass, your posts in this thread will continue to speak for you.

Loud and clear.

[Dark]

52. Uh, they follow a guy who said that we should love our neighbor as ourselves

that the love of money is the root of all evil

that we should turn the other cheek when striked

that everyone is equal

that everyone is loved by God

that we should abandon all selfishness

Sounds like a pretty good guy to follow to me.

BTW, I'm not Christian. But I still respect Jesus Christ.

[beam me up scottie]

56. I could care less what deity they believe in.

They are still not morally superior to the rest of us.

[Dark]

63. I completely agree.

Liberal and moderate christians would also agree. Their view of conversion is that you see how kind and loving they are, and you want to be a part of it. The ones I've talked to respect people of other religions (or non-religions).

Conservative christians try to scare you into being christian. They are the ones who act superior to others.

[beam me up scottie]

67. Yep.

Despite spoony's conniptions, most DUers go out of their way to qualify their statements concerning christians and other groups.

We know who the enemy is.

Every atheist I know, and I include myself, has christian family members and friends.

And we love them.

Hell, I sleep with one all the time.:P

Sorry Jesus.

[Dark]

71. Lol.

I know. But you don't want to make real Christians think you're lumping them in with the nutjobs.

That's like when conservatives lump progressives with "commies," something that really pisses me off.

[beam me up scottie]

76. See, that's the fallacy. They're ALL real christians.

The conservatives claim the libs got it wrong and the libs say the same about the conservatives.

And they all cite the same book to prove their case.

I find myself liking the term "christianists" more and more, it specifically targets the hypocrites on the right and should be inoffensive to the liberal ones.

[spoony]

96. Since you don't like theists telling atheists what atheism is

How about you extend the same courtesy to those of us whose definition of our religion does not have room for people who think gays are damned and nutters who blow up clinics? Instead, you insist we must accept them as our own. They aren't. We aren't theirs, and they sure as hell aren't ours. There is a divide, a real difference that you don't want to acknowledge.

[beam me up scottie]

99. Sorry, can't help you if you're unable to comprehend what a fallacy is.

Do some reading and come back when you're better prepared.

[HughMoran]

26. They don't follow the teachings of Christ

So they're not Christians. But I'm sure you will say they are again to be your usual childish self.

[beam me up scottie]

30. Sorry, there's even a name for that fallacy.

No True Scotsman.

Christians are no better than anyone else, oh grown up one.

If following all of the teachings of Christ makes one a True Christian™, then there are none.

[HughMoran]

114. Sorry you're back

I didn't miss you oh argumentative one!

[Baby Snooks]

28. Two things I've learned to avoid...

I've learned to avoid Republicans and anyone who talks about their "God" all the time. Few of whom, if any, really walk the talk.

I am forever amazed how three religions can believe in the same "God" and yet for centuries have been intent on wiping each other off the face of the earth. At times, I wish they would do just that.

God did not create man. Man created God. The God everyone talks about anyway.

[beam me up scottie]

32. POTD!

It mystifies me as well.

[spoony]

33. Sadly I've not learnt to avoid Democrats, presumably, who

wish for the extermination of religious people. Too damn many of you.

[beam me up scottie]

36. Hey, get off that cross,

Jesus needs the wood.

So now we "wish for the extermination of religious people" ?

:spray:

[spoony]

42. Find your reading comprehension and read the fucking post.

You know, where the poster wishes that religious people would all kill each other off?

And, for crying out loud, come up with something--ANYTHING--original. "Get off the cross"? For a freethinker you're remarkably cliched and juvenile.

[beam me up scottie]

44. It's so sweet how much you love me. I can tell just by how much you swear and call me names.

:loveya:

Jesus would be proud.

[spoony]

47. Damn now I'll never be a saint, but if there were a patron of

dust old canards I would Next Day Air my nomination of you.

[beam me up scottie]

49. Where's all of that righteous indignation when it comes to your fellow christians?

Like Klutzy the Clown: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2040215

Or the fella driving the truck in the op?

Anything to say about them?

[spoony]

50. What, they aren't being lashed enough by you lot? I prefer

leveling my posts at people who grow too comfortable rattling off prejudice here.

[beam me up scottie]

54. Yep, I thought so.

We're so mean, "lash"ing those poor harmless christians.

Having people like you in their corner must be a real comfort.

[spoony]

58. Are you planning a desert festival with all those strawmen?

"poor harmless Christians" eh? That what I called them? Of course not, they're criminals and creeps, who are as individuals rightly and roundly thrashed here. The problem is when some agenda-driven frother takes one portion of that individual's life (religion) and claims that's the problem.

[beam me up scottie]

59. Who claims their religion is the problem? I said you guys aren't any better than anyone else.

Oh, how bigoted of me to say that. :spank:

[spoony]

62. Once again, you are strenuously arguing something no one is arguing

It'd just be nice as a theist to not log onto DU and read about how I'm a fool, stupid, mentally unbalanced, living outside reality, part of an evil stain on history, equal to the Taliban, etc etc.

[beam me up scottie]

66. Why are you attacking me? Where the FUCK did I post any of those things?

You personally need to get a grip, spoony. And it has nothing to do with your religion.

[spoony]

78. Excuse me, but did you not say:

"Fuck the the warm fuzzy feeling people claim they get when they turn the other cheek, fuck the idea that name calling is illiberal, fuck the snivelers who think I'm unfairly judging our enemies by calling them what they are, and fuck the people who bury their heads in the sand while others are out in the trenches fighting."


So here you are, whining about being called names and saying you've done nothing of the sort, when you plainly state this as your philosophy. And the "names" you've been called? Bigot. It applies in spades. In your journal you continue the propaganda campaign that Hitler was a Christian and have invested a great deal of time and effort on DU smearing Christians both directly and by association. Parsing your phrasing to avoid being deleted does not conceal nor reduce your venom.

[beam me up scottie]

83. I stand by that comment. The only ones who should be offended are the snivelers.

And FYI, Hitler claimed he was a christian, there are entire books written about him and his beliefs. You should read more.

Anything substantial or is that the best you could find after digging through every one of my posts?

You have once more misrepresented me and my fellow atheists.

Congratulations, spoony, and thanks for proving my points. Over and over and over again.

Your posts are exactly what I've come to expect from christianists. You are a true inspiration. :patriot:

[spoony]

89. No, that much is true: I couldn't find anything substantial from you.

What I have found is you defending Sam Harris and others whose tactics are to belittle theists. I see you calling it legitimate to do so, because it "shocks" people into thinking. And I see you trot out Matthew Shepard's body as a shield, so that whenever someone calls anti-theists on their bigotry you say "you can't complain because this kid died!" As if anyone was trying to equate name-calling with murder.

You twist, lie, distort, deflect, and at every turn make it your mission to associate Christianity with any negative image you can find. Like when you said that neocons are "Christians, to a man," apparently forgetting a few of them like Richard Perle.

[beam me up scottie]

91. Focus, spoony. Why did you attack me in this thread?

What have I posted IN THIS THREAD that justifies your repeated personal attacks on me?

Do you really think it's acceptable to lie about me and then as your defense dredge up comments from threads that were archived years ago and had nothing whatsoever to do with you or this particular thread?

Explain.

[spoony]

93. I've backed up my claims. I can do so all day, without ever running

out of material. Not that it will matter, since you'll dismiss it all anyway. But it's there. And that's the whole point: years and years of the same demeaning, antagonising behaviour from you and your sewing circle.

[beam me up scottie]

97. Right. Just as I thought. You have no excuse.

Well, your behaviour tonight was certainly consistent.

Taking offense where none exists, personally attacking others for things they never posted, indulging in childish name calling and making up excuses when asked to justify repeated malicious accusations.

Good job, Mr. spoony. You've made your case as well as the christian pictured in the op made his.

And again proved my point that neither of you are morally superior. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[beam me up scottie]

60. You mean people like Michael Moore?

'jackin' off' shot. He NEEDS to see that picture...it gets him all hot and bothered.

[Kurovski]

19. I was JUST thinking of how hot and jacked-up that truck looks.

All red and with big, fat Sodom and Gomorrah screaming at you like a hooker on PCP, all bouncy motion plastered with nasty, nasty words, that scrawny "universal no" over the guys making out doesn't look all that serious to me--it's more like a frame--and "stop supporting sodomy"? Who can resist doing what they're outright told not to do?

I think you're on to something there, alittlelark.

[EFerrari]

37. It is more like a frame.

It must be horrible to have boundaries that are so screwed up you don't even know what you're doing all over the public.

[Kurovski]

41. It is more than a little embarrassing.

Not that I give a shit about a willful wack-a-doodle's self-mortification.

[Change has come]

15. I actually saw that fucking truck in Reno

This past summer. I pulled into a gas station and there he was. The place was full and everybody just looked at this shit with bewilderment. The guy was checking his oil. I drove past and told him he was a pig. :puke:

[murielm99]

53. So how is all that stuff attached?

How does he drive it? How can he see what is behind him? Can he back up safely? It looks top-heavy. I guess that is okay. Maybe it will tip over.

[Change has come]

73. It looked like plywood

attached to a camper shell. The truck is a mini Toyota. Safety doesn't seem to be a concern with this jackass. I don't think it would be much fun to drive in the wind!

[jmowreader]

117. It's self-adhesive vinyl over plywood

And HOPEFULLY, no one told him you have to heat that vinyl up with a propane torch to set the glue.

It would be a very sad day indeed if he was driving his hate-filled vehicle down the street and all the vinyl fell off at once. :sarcasm:

[cboy4]

77. Yea, there's a "church" based in Placerville, CA that has

a similar looking truck and protests all over the Sacramento area, and probably into the Reno area as well. :puke:

95. Thanks for the link.

I love happy endings. This is my favorite snippet from the story;

Around 12:00pm, the "Unitarian Universalist Church" down the street marched down the sidewalk with around 100 members of their congregation singing "This little light of mine" and "stand on the side of love", apparently in protest of Church of the Divide's stance on sodomy and Freddie Oakley. They marched loudly by the church 4-5 times, as members of Church of the Divide preached to them.

The poor little haters were such victims of intolerance. :rofl:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

65. Paul never condemned homosexuality

so they are wrong from a purely theological point of view, as well as batshit crazy.

-snip-
Saint Paul, whose commitment to Jewish law had taken up most of his life, never suggested that there was any historical or legal reason to oppose homosexual behavior: if he did in fact object to it, it was purely on the basis of functional, contemporary moral standards.

There are three passages in the writings of Paul which have been supposed to deal with homosexual relations. Two words in I Corinthians 6: 9 and one in I Timothy 1:10 have been taken at least since the early twentieth century to indicate that "homosexuals" will be excluded from the kingdom of heaven.

The first of the two, "malakos" (basically, "soft"), is an extremely common Greek word; it occurs elsewhere in the New Testament with the meaning "sick" and in patristic writings with senses as varied as "liquid", "cowardly", "refined", "weak willed", "delicate", "gentle", and "debauched". In a specifically moral context it very frequently means "licentious", "loose", or "wanting in self-control". At a broad level, it might be translated as either "unrestrained" or "wanton", but to assume that either of these concepts necessarily applies to gay people is wholly gratuitous. The word is never used in Greek to designate gay people as a group or even in reference to homosexual acts generically, and it often occurs in writings contemporary with the Pauline epistles in reference to heterosexual persons or activity.

What is more to the point, the unanimous tradition of the church through the Reformation, and of Catholicism until well into the twentieth century, has been that this word applied to masturbation. This was the interpretation not only of native Greek speakers in the early Middle Ages but of the very theologians who most contributed to the stigmatization of homosexuality. No new textual data effected the twentieth-century change in translation of this word: only a shift in popular morality. Since few people any longer regard masturbation as the sort of activity which would preclude entrance to heaven, the condemnation has simply been ransferred to a group still so widely despised that their exclusion does not trouble translators or theologians.

104. Hey you

Amazing how a little understanding can touch someone and conversely how not understanding can sting. I just came from a thread where I learned--again--that I am not real.

You're too kind, my post really do suck. I do better, become a better person, when I just listen. I'm just a traveler trying to become...real.

I always look forward to your post. I wish that more people took the time to listen rather than react.

106. I am sorry.

That kind ot thread shouldn't exist here. It doesn't belong.

You do.

And you are very real, your posts and people like you are what is real and good about DU.

I do notice, and I admire your quietness. I should be as gentle and kind.

107. I think that considering how you are attacked for your views...

You are doing just fine.

When someone is engaging you like they have up thread there is no better illustration of how silly an emotional argument is when debating a rational thinker. After the battle you walk away w/o a scratch and your opponent's eyes are swelled shut and has a ballooned up face. But the fact of the matter is that they volunteer to be so offended that they run chin first into the ring.

Be well, BMuS, and keep being who you are. :loveya:
