okay, this is about comics so I HAD to comment. Ya, that's just crazy. ugh, so aggravating
And as far as Phelps is concerned, he already believes that those who are saved and those who aren't is pre-ordained, since the beginning of time...so again: why does he CARE?
It's probably different from this guy, but my two friends who were raised fundamentalist Christian were just talking about this last night. They were raised to believe that you HAD to talk to people that you thought were going to hell because it was up to them to save them. It was their personal responsibility because if they didn't try to save them they were banning their friends to hell. That's why a lot of fundies try to preach to everyone and are so pushy, I think. Of course that just makes most people run screaming for the hills.
