Westboro Baptist Church Message for Ireland
Ireland’s Sunday Independent yesterday carried a message for the people of Ireland from the Westboro Baptist Church.
It was delivered in a lengthy article written by Donal Lynch on the Kansas-based church. Lynch spoke with Shirley Phelps but there’s not really anything knew in this so I should probably revert to ignoring the WBC again after this post.
The message in question comes at the end of the article and is the latest in the Phelps’ sect theme of “God Hates Ireland”.
Your nation is doomed. But each of you has a never-dying soul. If you care about where you are going to spend eternity — for ever, with no time off for good behaviour and no change except your increased capacity to withstand pain and with that capacity comes more pain — then you will repent.
Otherwise, the worms will eat out of you and the smoke of your torment will ascend upward for ever and ever and you’ll have flames coming out of your eyes.
You must admit - having flames coming out of your eyes sounds kind of cool in a superhero sort of way.

Strange deluded and disfunctional people! - Had the misfortune to come face to face with them while attending the consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson in New Hampshire in 2003. Going into the service had to pass the usual placards - God hates Fags etc - but was delighted to see the loony protestors from WBC outnumbered by students from the University (Service took place in ice hockey arena on college campus) who were protesting the protestors!
