Whether or not he is a con artist, he is certainly peddling hate.
 
I am missing here the option "A priest".

That is what the con-artist option is for. JK. There is the don't know/other option.

Shouldn't you need more than just your family attending your so-called church to be your congregation in order to be a priest/pastor.It seems to me that they are nothing more than a church in name only in order to get tax exempt status. I could be wrong but I haven't heard of anyone other than family and perhaps close friends attending his church.

If memory serves, it's established under law and managed by the judge.

Then it is "high time" for our law-makers to get off their dead arses and do what the people tell them to do!!!!!!
This is one area where the people know what they are talking about, the sensitivities and respect are paramount at funerals.

What would you have them do, exactly?

Limit payments. Surely all those libs who claim CEOs make too much money should agree that trial lawyers also make too much money.
 
Roughly 80% of the Westboro cult is made up of the Phelps family. They have been denounced by Christians and are clearly in it for their own glory. Their hate has blinded them from the truths of the Bible that they memorize.
 
Perhaps one day we'll get to protest at Fred Phelps' funeral with a sign that says GOD HATES FRED PHELPS or THANK GOD FOR A DEAD FRED.

He's not worth it.


Don't know if he's a con artist because I have no interest in studying how he finances his activities, but he's definitely a hate monger from all I can see.

What you see is merely an act. People do some messed up things for money. Some sue Asian dry cleaners into the poor house over a measly pair of pants. Some run around suing fast food places even though its clearly the fault of their client for spilling coffee on themselves or shoving one too many cheeseburgers in their mouth. Some sue homeowners because their client while in the commission of a crime injured themselves on the homeowner's property and injured themselves. Some kill for money. Some people force others into the sex trade in order to use them to make money. The Phelps clan deliberately pisses off grieving families in order to get those grieving families and or cities to violate the rights of the Phelps clan. Every funeral protest to that family is a fishing expedition. If it was no profitable for them then they would not be protesting at different funerals.

Some of these things have been done, but far too "half-heartedly".
I 'd change that 300 foot figure to 300 miles!
Also, political "churches" should be taxed.
Five years ago, I'd say no to that, today, all churches should be taxed.
