Good Morning Random Sovereign Nation!
Yes, that was random. First and foremost, I'd like to recommend that anyone reading this blog also visit that of my friend Radaghast (Meatspace Alias: Alex). Last night, I found out that he lives in Topeka, and because of this, he needs all the support of the Otaku community.
Why? Because, to put it plainly, Topeka is also the home of Fred Phelps, resident homophobe and leader of my rivals-in-morality, the Westboro Baptist Church.
Now, for those readers who are either first-time-visitors, or are amnesiacs, let me give a quick refresher course on who Fred Phelps is. Fred Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, a group mainly comprised of Phelps' immediate family. Which wouldn't be a problem, if he didn't have these sites: (WARNING- EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE) GodHatesAmerica.com and GodHatesFags.com. Basically, the folks at Westboro go around and "picket" (read: stand and yell at) places they deem to be "unchristian, against God", and whatnot. Mainly, they bother gay people, but they have on occasion gone up against anyone whose beliefs differ from their own.
For example, as I just found out last night (from Radaghast), members of the WBC threw rocks/bricks (can't remembe which) at a priest, due to his conflicting beliefs. They also picketed the death of a Senator, because, again, he wasn't a member of the collective. (We are the Phelps. Lower your self-worth and surrender your will. Prepare to be assimilated.)
Which is what drives me insane about the man, and his little organization. Now, I don't have a problem with the man on a personal basis. It's just that his and my moral compasses are pointing in opposite directions. At first, I thought he just stood around and yelled at people for being gay, American, whatever. But now I find out that the man is actually a violent sonuvagun. Thus, I dislike his beliefs all the more.
So, in short, Fred Phelps no me likey, Radaghast is a cool guy whose blog you should definitely check out, and I'm having a very interesting discussion on religion with Japan86, whose MyOtaku Blog is also worth checking out.
Itte ki masu.
