The UN-Chosen One...
I laughed when I read that more Americans were planning to boycott the new Harry Potter film now that Daniel Radcliffe has come out as an Atheist. Gee, I wonder where they got that information - their tv from China, their computer from Microsoft?
Better be careful, those godless vibes will be projected quite strongly from cinema screens, showering the audience with heathenish thoughts and rays of pure evil!
Good on him anyway, I only wish politicians had the balls to do the same thing, then we wouldn't have all that religious bias weighing down on equal rights, health and freedoms issues.
I should be going to see the film next week. I didn't read the books (a little long winded (not Stephanie Meyer long winded, but still :P)) but I have enjoyed the films. And Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint did some excellent interviews on Rove last night.

really very very sad circumstances. One keeps hoping that something will break their cycle of hate.

The Phelps' situation is an odd one, because the majority of the church are members of the one family. So unless there's 2-3 outsiders brought into the church every generation, I don't see them lasting very long anyway.
Their hate mongering has also been spread by the media - these documentaries and all the news reports (there's this one interview where Shirley blows up at a Fox news reporter, they both lose their shit, funny stuff) serve to give Fred Phelps a much louder voice on these issues than he obviously deserves.

I agree, the media gives them way more of an outlet to be heard yet at the same time i think the public should be aware that there are people like this and that something needs to be done about it. i've watched nearly all the vids on them and it was amazing this british reporter that interviewed them over a period of time almost almost managed to get through to Shirley.. it gave me hope.. but the old man has got to go *strangles him*
lol
