Fred Phelps citations

Fred Phelps, né le 13 novembre 1929 à Meridian, dans le Mississippi, aux États-Unis, et mort le 19 mars 2014 à Topeka, au Kansas, aux États-Unis, est un avocat et pasteur baptiste américain, fondateur du site God hates fags . Cet homme est connu pour ses prises de positions homophobes. Il a créé et dirigé jusqu'à sa mort la Westboro Baptist Church.

Le jour des funérailles de Matthew Shepard, jeune homme assassiné en 1998 en raison de son homosexualité, il défile près de l'église où a lieu la cérémonie en scandant avec ses partisans des slogans homophobes. Peu après l'événement, Fred Phelps déclare qu'il souhaite inaugurer une stèle de 2 mètres de haut qui porterait une photo du jeune gay assassiné avec l’inscription « Matthew Shepard est entré en enfer le 12 octobre 1998 pour avoir défié la loi de Dieu ».

Pendant le mandat de George W. Bush , il est très critique envers le "laxisme" de l'administration : selon lui, l'enlisement de l'armée américaine en Irak est une punition divine pour la trop grande tolérance de l'Amérique envers les homosexuels.

Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, lui et les membres de sa communauté religieuse diffusent le slogan « Thank God for 9/11 », considérant qu'il s'agit là d'un châtiment de Dieu contre la dépravation morale de la société américaine.

En plus des manifestations que Phelps organise avec ses partisans - principalement des membres de sa propre famille immédiate - pour perturber des Gay Pride, des événements politiques et universitaires, des spectacles, comme la pièce et le film Le Projet Laramie, le révérend s'oppose à d'autres groupes chrétiens traditionnels qu'il accuse de ne pas respecter leur devoir sacré d'avertir les réprouvés de la colère de Dieu.

Jusqu'à sa mort, il continue de faire face à de nombreux procès et démêlés juridiques - dont certains se rendent en Cour suprême des États-Unis - et subit une opposition presque universelle de tous les groupes religieux, partis politiques, médias, comme du grand public. Les lois adoptées dans le but précis de limiter ses activités perturbatrices, tant au fédéral que dans certains États, restent limitées dans leur efficacité en raison des protections constitutionnelles accordées à Phelps par le Premier amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis.

Bien que Phelps soit mort en 2014, la Westboro Baptist Church reste en opération et manifeste régulièrement devant des salles de cinéma, des universités, des édifices du gouvernement et d'autres lieux à Topeka et ailleurs en Amérique. Cette organisation religieuse est toujours reconnue comme un groupe haineux par la Anti-Defamation League et le Southern Poverty Law Center. Wikipedia

“God duped you into starting a war, so He could punish you. And any preacher preaching it any other way is a lying hell-bound false prophet.”

Contexte: Same-sex marriage, by any name, civil union or otherwise, is the ultimate smashed-mouth in-your-face insult to God Almighty, and you think He's going to let England and America and the rest of this evil world get by with it? God Almighty has not joined fags in holy wedlock. God no longer keeps America safe. America is doomed. We're getting the pants beat off of us, in Iraq, in Afghanistan. God is now America's terrorist, that's who Bush is fighting, that's the terrorist that he best be afraid of. You tweaked His nose, you jackass, you tweaked His nose! God put it in your wicked heart to start that war. That's the message we've got at the funerals of these dead soldiers. God duped you into starting a war, so He could punish you. And any preacher preaching it any other way is a lying hell-bound false prophet. So almost eighteen months now and the siege has got people eating their babies, and their small children, and each other! You're going to eat your babies! God Himself duped Bush into a no-win war, and He did that by the technique of putting a lying spirit in the mouth of all his trusted advisers, to punish America.

“Bill O'Reilly is a blaspheming hell-bound hypocrite claiming to be fair and balanced and running a no-spin zone. Hah! O'Reilly is of his father the Devil.”

"Bill O'Reilly & Rush Limbaugh: Satan's SpinDoctors." WBC Video News http://www.signmovies.net/videos/news/index.html. Westboro Baptist Church. July 27, 2006.
2000s, Bill O'Reilly & Rush Limbaugh: Satan's SpinDoctors (2006)
Contexte: Bill O'Reilly is a demon-possessed messenger of Satan. O'Reilly regularly slanders Westboro Baptist Church on his program, and he only has guests who join him in slandering Westboro Baptist Church, and refuses to allow Westboro Baptist Church to respond! Thus, Bill O'Reilly is a blaspheming hell-bound hypocrite claiming to be fair and balanced and running a no-spin zone. Hah! O'Reilly is of his father the Devil.

“Homosexuals now pervade and control American government at every level and branch.”

Fred Phelps, in a letter to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, July 5, 1997.
About the Westboro Baptist Church http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/print.asp. Anti-Defamation League.
1990s, Letter to Boris Yeltsin (1997)
Contexte: Homosexuals now pervade and control American government at every level and branch. Thus, only those churches that support and promote the militant homosexual agenda enjoy religious freedom. Any church in America that dares to preach what the Bible says about soul-damning, nation-destroying moral filth of the vile homosexual beasts among us, loses all Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and speech rights.

“There were five thousand or ten thousand killed and, counting all those passengers in those airplanes, it's very likely that every last single one of them was a fag or dyke or a fag enabler, and that the minute he died, he split hell wide open”

2000s, God Hates America (2001)
Contexte: How many do you suppose of those hundred in the Pentagon last Tuesday were fags and dykes? And how many do you suppose were working in that massively composed building structure called those two World Trade Center buildings, Twin Towers? There were five thousand or ten thousand killed and, counting all those passengers in those airplanes, it's very likely that every last single one of them was a fag or dyke or a fag enabler, and that the minute he died, he split hell wide open, and the way to analyze the situation is that the Lord God Almighty, pursuant to His threatenings and warnings, killed him, looked him in the face, laughed and mocked at each one of them as He cast each one of them into Hell!

“Thank God for 9/11. Thank God that, five years ago, the wrath of God was poured out upon this evil nation. America, land of the sodomite damned.”

Contexte: Thank God for 9/11. Thank God that, five years ago, the wrath of God was poured out upon this evil nation. America, land of the sodomite damned. We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, for answering the prayers of those that are under the altar.

“For ten long weary years prior to 9/11, WBC warned you daily on the mean streets of this nation that your sodomite sins will be avenged by an angry God except you repent.”

2000s, 9/11: God's Wrath Revealed (2006)
Contexte: For ten long weary years prior to 9/11, WBC warned you daily on the mean streets of this nation that your sodomite sins will be avenged by an angry God except you repent.

“We at Westboro Baptist Church are rejoicing, and we are praying that the dear Lord would burn many more Australians alive!”

2000s, God Hates Australia (2009)

The fire of God's wrath is sending hundreds of those filthy Australian beasts straight to hell! We at Westboro Baptist Church are rejoicing, and we are praying that the dear Lord would burn many more Australians alive!

“God hates America, and God demonstrated that hatred to some modest degree only last Tuesday -- sent in those bombers, those hellacious 767 Boeing bombers, and it was a glorious sight.”

2000s, God Hates America (2001)
Contexte: God hates America, and God demonstrated that hatred to some modest degree only last Tuesday -- sent in those bombers, those hellacious 767 Boeing bombers, and it was a glorious sight. What you need to do is see in those flames -- those sickening, twisting, burning, life-destroying flames, brightly shining from every television set around the world! You need to see in those flames a little preview of the flames of Hell that are going to soon engulf you, my friend. Burn your soul forever!

“A big Canadian flag flies at our church upside-down, the international symbol of distress. We fly it day and night, to educate and warn people about the fagi-nazi regime just to the north of us.”

2000s, God Hates Canada (2008)
Contexte: Our church has had a lot of bad dealings with those demon-possessed Canadians! A big Canadian flag flies at our church upside-down, the international symbol of distress. We fly it day and night, to educate and warn people about the fagi-nazi regime just to the north of us. Canadians are afraid of their tyrannical fag-run government. You can determine for yourself about Canada, and keep as far away from them as you can.

“Alas, the United States no longer allows the Gospel to be freely and openly preached on the streets, because militant sodomites now control our government, and they violently object to the Bible message”

Fred Phelps, in a letter to Saddam Hussein, November 30, 1997.
About the Westboro Baptist Church http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/print.asp. Anti-Defamation League.
1990s, Letter to Saddam Hussein (1997)
Contexte: We understand that Iraq is the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets without fear of arrest and prosecution. Alas, the United States no longer allows the Gospel to be freely and openly preached on the streets, because militant sodomites now control our government, and they violently object to the Bible message... The same majoritarian sodomite tyranny that now guides the Clinton administration's repressive policies toward Gospel preaching on America's streets, is apparently responsible — at least in part — for the merciless slaughter by starvation of 400 innocent Iraqi babies each day in your country. If our government and laws will allow it, and at the invitation of your government, we would like to send a delegation from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, to preach the Gospel on the streets of Baghdad for one week in the near future.

Contexte: Thank God for the tsunami, and thank God that two thousand dead Swedes are fertilizing the ground over there [in Asia]. How many of these two thousand, do you suppose, were fags and dykes?

Contexte: I tell you, my friends, it's a sin to pray for the USA. And nobody that's intelligent, and that fears God, will fly the American flag any way but upside-down, the international signal of distress... It's too late to pray for the USA.

1990s

“There's no freedom of speech in Canada. There's no freedom of religion in Canada. It is against the law to read the Bible in Canada.”

2000s, God Hates Canada (2008)
Contexte: Canada is a filthy country run by fags, which has Draconian laws making it a crime to preach the Gospel there. All of these cowardly kissy-poo preachers who telecast their milquetoast sermons into Canada have to edit out every single word critical of fags -- snip, snip, snip -- or the fag officials of Canada will arrest and criminally prosecute the Canadian affiliates, and shut down their stations! There's no freedom of speech in Canada. There's no freedom of religion in Canada. It is against the law to read the Bible in Canada.

“George Carlin is in hell. Deal with it. You will soon join him there. America is doomed. We will picket George Carlin's funeral..Amen!”

2000s, George Carlin In Hell (2008)
Contexte: George Carlin is now in hell, and it is not relevant that George Carlin boasted that he does not believe in hell when he lived on Earth. Be assured, Carlin believes in hell now... George Carlin, the filthy blasphemer, the obscene potty-mouth skeptic, agnostic and profane atheist, who had nothing but disdain for the God and the Bible all the days of his tragic life, is now at this minute and forever writhing and screaming in exquisite pain, pleading for mercy from that God he flipped off while performing for HBO lucre... When Carlin died, June 22nd, he split hell wide open... Hell from below was moved beneath thee at thy coming, it stirreth up the dead for thee. Are thou as weak as we George Carlin?! The worm is spread under thee and the worm covers thee. George Carlin is in hell. Deal with it. You will soon join him there. America is doomed. We will picket George Carlin's funeral.. Amen!

2000s

“Thank God for the violent shooter, one of your soldier heroes in Tucson. God appointed the Afghanistan veteran to avenge himself on this evil nation. However many are dead, Westboro Baptist Church will picket their funerals. We will remind the living that you can still repent and obey. This is ultimatum time with God. Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3. This nation unleashed criminal violent veterans on Westboro Baptist Church for telling you to obey God. We told you at your soldiers' funerals that they are dying for your sins. You hate those words and you will not stop sinning. So you sent violent veterans, so-called patriot guard riders, to attack and try to silence Westboro Baptist Church. Then you sent violent crippled veteran Ryan Newell with 90 rounds of ammunition, planning to shoot five Westboro Baptist Church members while picketing. God restrained the hand of them all, then he turned the violent veteran on you. 22-year-old Jared Loughner opened fire outside a Tucson, Arizona grocery store, shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Federal Judge John M. Roll, and sixteen others. At least six are dead and counting. Congress passed three laws against Westboro Baptist Church. Congresswoman Giffords, an avid supporter of sin and baby-killing, was shot for that mischief. A federal judge in Baltimore, part of the massive military community in Maryland and in the District of Columbia, put Westboro Baptist Church on trial for faithful words from God. Federal Judge Roll paid for those sins with his life. Today, mouthy witch Sarah Palin had Representative Giffords in her crosshairs on her website. She quick took it down, however, because she is a cowardly brute like the rest of you. The crosshairs to worry about are God's and he's put you in his and your destruction is upon you. You should have obeyed. This nation of violent murderers is in full rebellion against God. God avenged himself on you today by a marvelous work in Tucson. He sits in the heavens and laughs at you in your affliction. Westboro Baptist Church prays for more shooters, more violent veterans, and more dead. Praise God for his righteous judgments in this Earth. Amen.”

Fred Phelps, on the 2011 Tucson shooting. As quoted in Westboro Baptist Church To Picket Christina Green’s Funeral http://www.anorak.co.uk/270124/media/westboro-baptist-church-to-picket-christina-greens-funeral.html. Anorak News. January 10, 2011.
