Eek. Too many replies to respond to. We have each other's opinions, and they are miles apart, so we'll just remain in our ignert little corners, I guess.

I am with you, however, on the sad state of "the church" as an organization. It's corrupt as it can be. The problem is, a lot of innocent people are taking the heat for the words of a few. If Phelps says something asinine and hateful, that doesn't mean that Christianity said that thing. Let it be on Phelps' head. It's like saying every black person is a Black Panther, or that the goatse guy speaks for all gay people.
