Dear good Christians of Westboro Baptist Church,

I write this letter in the hopes that it might bring you closer to God and help you to receive your rightful places inParadisewith our Lord Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, and all the good saved Christians who have died before us. I am a saved Christian, and want you to be saved Christians as well. There is only one way to become saved. You must be Born Again. You must accept Christ’s sacrificial offering for our sins, and embrace Him as your Savior. You must accept His Word, not man’s, at face value, and not draw your own conclusions and interpretations from it. You must love your neighbor as yourself. All this, you must do in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you, and all He asks is for you to follow Him.

The entire basis of your theology is the statement that “God hates fags.” This is not entirely true. God does not just hate fags (since homosexuality IS an affront to God since the Bible describes it as an abomination); God hates ALL unsaved sinners. Even so-called Christians, who claim to follow Christ (and might even believe that they ARE following Christ), are destined for Hell if they have not been born again. How can you tell if someone is going to hell? You can’t, but you can make a pretty good guess judging on their earthly behavior.

Know who is right at the front of the line into Hell? Fred Phelps, pastor ofWestboroBaptistChurch. Mr. Phelps seems to genuinely love God and to believe that he is a true Christian. However, Phelps puts the laws of man before the laws of God. Good old Fred protests American military funerals in an attempt to change American political and military policy, claiming that American military deaths are God’s punishment forAmerica’s tolerance of homosexuals. But doesn’t the Bible say we should LOVE our neighbors? Why not leave the faggots and lesbians inAmericatowards Christ? Show them the power of good old fashioned heterosexual love. Help them rather than damn them. And doesn’t the Bible say that we should remove the log from our own eye before trying to remove the speck from our neighbor’s? WestboroBaptistChurchdoesn’t even sacrifice animals in the temple…an act which we are COMMANDED to undertake in the Old Testament. How can they truly love God if they don’t even follow His orders?

Westboro Baptist Church, shape up or burn in hell.

Your’s in Christ,

Jim
