Whoever Said God Is Love?

Fred Phelps, the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, has long been on the fringes of the religious right, and he's always had a predilection for picketing funerals. His latest activity, described in this CNN story, promises to push him even farther from most Christian conservatives, but this quote, which I guess he thinks justifies his actions, borders on pathological:

"You can't preach the Bible without preaching the hatred of God."

Keep doing God's work, Fred.
