This is an old classic interview that I think Steemit might find interesting. This is Jonathan Phelps, the less well known but equally vile BROTHER of the well known Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church. In this interview, he explained why -- in his opinion -- gays should be put to death. This was a view I didn't share with him, naturally.

I was taken back a little bit when Phelps said he was a lifelong Democrat. Never thought I would hear that from a Phelps' mouth based on traditional ideology of most Dems. I think Phelps should round up the gang and move to Iran where they are noted for Capital Punishment of homosexuals. Really pathetic people, imo

This girl agrees there is a problem there also, not sure if she is related to these people or not.

Her name is Megan Phelps Roper, the grand daughter of Fred Phelps. She was on the Joe Rogan podcast last year and talked about growing up in that family. She is one brave girl who took a gigantic risk; I mean she lost everything, including her mother and father, friends, money. The TED talk is good too. A lot of the kids are leaving that church.

Thanks. Good for her, my parents were not religious but their friends are and they used the Church and Church used my parents to do atrocity to people.
Godplay. I have similar results and problems.

I don't wanna sound assaholic for saying this, but the only good point I can come up with is that these people will be dead soon.

Conservative Christian Pastor Calls for Executing All Gay People by Christmas Day in Tempe, Arizona USA
It sounds like a sermon that would be delivered in Uganda, but it’s actually from the mouth of an American pastor in Arizona.
Conservative Christian Pastor Steven Anderson openly called for executing every gay person in America during a Sunday sermon at his church in Tempe, Arizona. He claimed from the pulpit that gays need to be put to death in the name of God by Christmas Day in an effort to wipe out AIDS, even though AIDS is not a virus exclusive to the LGBT community.

Others share this misguided faith and dogma:
Claiming that being gay is a choice like drug abuse, the senior pastor for a megachurch in Tennessee says that “gays must be put to death” because God commands it.

Truely gay's should be put to death. How can two the same male species have sexual intercourse. Sounds crazy right. Gay's should be allowed to be in existence if they can produce kids without any operation done by medical doctors

So if you actually read the history of this family it's honestly pretty horrific. The old man was basically just a fiery preacher turned conman. We Fred Phelps first started he actually even defended members of the black community in court waaaay back in the day. But pretty early on he changed pretty dramatically. There was a lot of substance abuse and he literally beat his children into slavery and servitude. Like most of the adult members of that household now were hardly ever allowed to sleep more than a few hours a night and would be beaten with an axe handle if they didn't meet sales quotas.
Not trying to defend them at all mind you, but the whole story just puts the Phelps clan in a quite honestly tragic story. Several members of the family have famously left the cult, and I hope that continues. But damn man it's rough to be open toward people who hate you.

I do not thing gays should be killed. The bible is giving anyone salvation trough Christ. Noone on the planet deserves what he has or he is. All is a blessing we do not deserve. There is hope and salbation for all.
