The Reverend Phelps (no I've never heard of him either) says that Ireland has a 'f@g inspired criminal law' because in Ireland it's an "offence for a person to use words that are threatening, abusive or insulting and are likely to stir up hatred against a group of persons on account of their sexual orientation"
Obviously Phelps views this as contrary to his beliefs that he should be allowed to threaten and abuse whoever he wishes.

I'm quite thankful he's not coming over. I don't think I could resist chucking a bottle at his head :)

ignore anything that monster spews from his hate-filled mouth. If something exists, or breathes, or has moleculer structure, or is a person, Phelps loves to say God hates it, or Him/Her, it doesn't matter. I would be more worried if he liked somebody.....I would know that person was suspect.

Ireland is almost completely Catholic (except for Northern Ireland, which is mainly Protestant). Why would God hate some of his most devout worshipers?
And also, criminal law is established by men, not God.
EDIT: Upon further review of that website: That site is nothing but hatred towards gays.... and apparently says that all of Ireland is gay sodomizers. I take offense to that, as I have Irish blood in me. Whoever thought of this website is obviously a moron.

Once again just the ignorant talking, don't you think? "A fool uttereth all his mind..." Someone on here the other day said only 15% of the United Kingdom are christians. Some people just talk to try to shock others and make themselves look "smart". Ha! Just the opposite. He wants to put down others to raise himself up. Best not to give people like that any of your time and effort.

As for free speech, well no one needs to be abusing others. Violence against any person just leads to a road of sorrow. As for Reverend Phelps's and his "God", he most likely can make him say whatever he wants to fit his twisted agenda.

Alright, that's really bad. But it made me laugh because how rediculous Phelps is.
Rev. Phelps may hate Ireland, but God surely does not.

God is what man wants him to be. Man created God because he did not want to die. The real question is how to achieve immortality. Two thousand years before Christ rabbits were the answer because they reproduced more heirs and that was the answer to immortality through your children. The link below is quite good on the subject of immortality.
