Is Fred Phelps even considered Christian? As far as I know he's a separatist, breaking off from Christianity because of their relaxed take on homosexuality, forming his own church. If I were a powerful Christian (like the Pope) I wouldn't recognise him, his cause, or his church as being Christian. Either way the man sickens me, I'm thankful that he's banned from entering my country. |
I guess anyone can self-proclaim themselves as being a Christian. However, his attitude and actions certainly do not line up with Christianity. Jesus never taught his disciples to slam others for lifestyles that are considered wrongful.
If he broke off from other denominations and sects of Christianity, I am afraid there is no Christian leader that can really do anything about it - the pope has absolutely no authority outside of the catholic church, and no protestant denomination can do anything about a sepratist church. The only thing that could be done is for the Baptist denomination (of which WBC has in their name) to release a statement condemning Mr. Phelps retarded behavior.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
