The WBC to Protest Natasha Richardson's Funeral

I'm so angry, I'm numb. I don't feel anything. It's like that scene from Equilibrium where Christian Bale suddenly goes all calm. I think if I was physically in the presence of these people, I would hurt them. And enjoy it.

I think that means what they're doing is working. I truly believe the real goal of this is to infect others with hatred, and it bothers me that it's working on me. Because I really do hate them to the point I could hurt them right now.

I think it's the only logical explanation. Fred Phelps is so angry that he needs to make people angry, too. It feeds something in him when people hit them or attack them or whatever. I saw him in a documentary, and when he saw people get angry at him, he looked really happy. It's like hatred is the disease and he's patient zero. The gay thing is just a convenient button to push.

It makes me angry that he could make me hate him, even for a minute, because when I hate him, he wins.

(I've had moment and I feel rational again, but it takes so much more effort than just hating him would.)

It's weird circular religious logic. THE WORLD WILL HATE YOU FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS BELIEFS. Nevermind if what you do is horrible or hate-mongering. Which means that being upset with them just reinforces their persecution complex.

I....should never be allowed near Fred Phelps. I have enough of a problem wanting to argue with the people who keep trying to sell us door-to-door Jesus.
