The Westboro group says the Amish school girls were "killed by a madman in punishment for Gov. Ed Rendell's blasphemous sins against Westboro Baptist Church.
"Gov. Ed Rendell -- speaking and acting in his official capacity to bind the State of Pennsylvania -- slandered and mocked and ridiculed and condemned Westboro Baptist Church on national Fox TV," the group says on its website.
"Rendell also revealed a conspiracy to employ the State's police powers to destroy WBC in order to silence WBC's Gospel message. Co-conspirators identified by Rendell included state officials, citizens, lawyers, legislators and media," the website says.
Westboro Baptist Church said it is "continuing to pray for even worse punishment upon Pennsylvania."

Because the whole word revolves around you, doesn't it, you crazy Fundie fucks? Fuck you, and fuck your violent, misogynistic, child-murdering god, too.
Yeah, nuke Philadelphia, wipe Pittsburgh off the map, burn down Harrisburg. Slaughter the lot of them, little kids, women, men. Only when every last Pennsylvanian is crippled or dead and has felt the wrath of god, will the mockery of Westboro Baptist be revenged.
So, making friend, aren´t you?, first for cursing poor guys who have done nothing to you, now a group of Christian who, unlike, you stupid bastard, don´t mingle with anybody. They, unlike you, won´t pray for you to be abandoned and hated by the whole world.

Well, you know -- I keep praying for an F5 tornado to form one block away from the Phelps compound (including Westboro Baptist Church) in Topeka 15 minutes after their "service" begins on a Sunday morning, and to deposit the entire lot of them into the middle of Lake Shawnee (and preferably have them covered in the debris from their church)!
State officials, citizens, lawyers, legislators, the media. Kind of a broad list there, what with the citizens and all. I only hope my name gets on that list; I want to be a co-conspirator working to destroy WBC, too.
I grew up just south of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and often encountered Amish and Mennonites. Two good things I can say about them is (1) they really are peaceful, and (2) best of all, they leave other people alone and don't try to foist their beliefs on anyone. If all christians were like them, there would be no reason for sites like FSTDT.com.

Lets remove the lightning rod from their church. Oh very well done Sir! (Of course they will try and burn the local hussies as witches...)"I still say a church steeple with a lightening rod on top shows a remarkable lack of confidence."
Doug McLeod
Isaac Asimov wrote that in the early days of the lightning rod, fundies actually did refuse to put lightning rods on their churches. The church burned down (it was usually the tallest and pointiest building in town) and the whore house survived. Eventually they figured it out - it's not faith or works - it's not being stupid that matters!
It's only a matter of time before they fall.
Ah, yes. An all-loving magic sky god killed innocent children in order to "punish" a man they have nothing to do with because he called a bunch of loonies a bunch of loonies. Right.
And I hope that one day, all of you will be thrown into the lunatic asylum where you belong, you bloodsucking, self-righteous vultures. Or at least deported, preferably to a theocracy that's as every bit as repressive and ridiculous as you.
So apparently god can't punish the governor directly and has to arrange for innocent schoolgirls to be killed instead?
What a lamer.
As for the last line, all I can say is that WBC is proof of the non-existence of a just god, a just god would have offed Fred Phelps and his entire hate brigade a long time ago.
All kidding and snarkiness aside, the real problem with the WBC isn't the WBC. It's the millions of Christians, thousands of Christian churches and communities, who look the other way and allow them to exist. Sure, when pressed they'll shake their heads sadly and claim the WBC aren't "true" Christians, but would they actually DO anything to stop them? Would they picket the WBC? Show up at the funeral services of fallen soldiers and shout them down and move them out?
Nope. That's the real evil here -- that supposedly good people stand silent and do nothing in the face of this evil.
Because, in the long run, to Christians of any stripe, it's more evil to be an atheist than to be a member of the WBC.
The Westbro cult are a bunch of idiotic attention junkies, no different to a foul - mouthed kid who jumps up and down and screams "poo" a lot so his teacher will spend extra time scolding him. Except Freddie "look at me" Phelps and his inbred clan are adults and should know better.
This is kind of funny because many, many Christians of various types in PA were outraged by the local papers running stories on the Westboro Baptists and their beliefs years ago. They felt they themselves were being persecuted and that the papers shouldn't have reported anything since it would just make all Christians look bad. The kvetching went on for weeks, it was sickening.
I wonder if they'd feel so protective of them after reading this.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
