......and it must be true because (surprise, surprise) the infamous Westboro Baptist Church aka the family of Fred Phelps says it's true. A while back, Fred Phelps' antics had me all riled up...so much so that I wrote a blog post about it called, God Is Your Enemy...at least according to Fred Phelps. Apparently Fred continues to spread his hate filled message but this time he is focusing his attention on Obama. Imagine...Fred didn't vote Democrat???
I've recently started to follow a blog called Blue Christian On a Red Background. Please note the new link in the left hand column. I wrote a post about his blog not too long ago. It seems that the Westboro Baptist Church had plans to protest all over the place in Chicago. The itinerary was announced in a recent "church" flier. Some people from Project 12, a program that Blue Christian is associated with, were going to protest their protest and hand out fliers of their own...proclaiming that God does indeed love Obama...and gays and that, in fact, God loves Fred Phelps and family, too. I don't think He is probably very pleased with his hate filled antics but he loves him none the less. Project 12 is described on their web site as:
.....a ten month discipleship training program. P12's desire is to help you clarify your gifts and calling in Christ. The program includes in-depth biblical studies, prayer, meditation, lectio divina, inner city work with homeless families and children, concert outreaches, and a two week mission trip. Project 12 takes place in the context of a full-time intentional community, Jesus People USA, and is an offshoot of JPUSA.
But Fred and clan never showed. Although a group called S.I.N. did...
In case you're wondering...that stands for "Sodomite Insurgency Network." Hmmmm....Okay.....think I'll just leave that one alone.
Check out the posts on Blue Christian.
NO SHOW!! Fred Phelps' "God Hates Fags" Fails to Appear in Chicago After All...
Project 12 Response to "God Hates Fags" Chicago-area Protests

Thank you for mentioning my blog, and our Project12 program, here. Today (Dec 8) the God Hates Everybody people are going to be downtown again... they say. Unfortunately, I don't think I can get all my students down there (they'd have to bail from classes and so on). But anyone else from the Chicago area reading this, please do try and show. If you are working downtown, of course, it is particularly easy. I believe the group is going to be (again, if they show) at 233 N. Michigan Avenue (intersects w/ Wacker Drive). I wouldn't advise any attempts at engagement w/ this group verbally -- they are pros at causing otherwise rational people to lose their cool. Just come and protest their protest. Again, thanks for the mention on this blog.
Sincerely, Jon Trott (bluechristian)
Sorry, their march is around 11:30 this morning, Chicago time, I believe.
Jon...
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment (and for a mention on your blog...which I know attracts infinitely more visitors than mine does) And thank you for braving the cold...again...and by yourself..with two signs in hand...telling the world that God loves them...and that he loves Fred Phelps too. Because he does. Thanks again...
Cindi....
