Now he gets to find out for sure who God hates. :lulz:
I don't typically laugh at funerals, but this guy is an exception, given the deliberate disrespect he has showered on the funerals of others.
I'm thinking flowers. Obnoxious "rainbow" patterned bouquets as much as possible.
Will a decent party joint deliver a bundle of helium inflated prophylactics?

My Kansas friends are praying the rumor is true. So am I, even though I'm not normally a praying man.

If the rumor's true, I hope to see any army of fabulously gay Americans protesting his funeral.

No, but I know some non-decent party joints that would jump at the chance.
I predict hilarity. And again, under most circumstances, I'd leave the family to grieve...But THEY couldn't do that for ANYBODY, and thus they deserve no such consideration.

I have no problem with hoping for it, he is/was an evil hate filled person who hurt a hell of a lot of people.

Yeah, well, he's gonna die eventually, like we all do, so there's no need to pray for it.
But I am NOT above partying a little when it happens.
I don't take any joy in him being dead, but I hate the people who will be attending his funeral, those people who attack others in their time of grief deserve whatever ridicule they get now.
The family will not confirm or deny.
which is tantamount to confirmation, i would presume.
100 - 1 odds that the try to have a "private" ceremony. Too bad they legally established the right to be pricks at funerals.
i wonder if all the bikers that went out of their way to protect the families of the departed that were targeted by WBC will go out of their way to make his unbearable?

You can call me a hypocrite all day long for this one, but if it's true, I'm glad he's dead
and I'd picket his funeral. For justice.
"TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT, BUT I'M OKAY WITH BEING A DICK TODAY"
"YOU'RE RIGHT, HOLDING SIGNS IS FUN!"
"GOD HATES HATERS"
I can do this all day.

I want to amend my statement: I'm not sure "glad" is the right word, but something like it. Maybe "relieved".

Nothing yet, if it's true the family might just stay tight lipped until after his funeral. Because they would be that chickenshit.

I have no moral restraints on this one, I would try to dance if that fucker is dead.
I can't find anything one the internets except a Yahoo! Answers question from 2009 asking if this guy is dead yet, and a Facebook group for people who hate him and think someone should kill him.
Maybe they finally prayed hard enough and God said "Oh, what the hell. He's an annoying bastard, after all."
If its true im not entirely surprised anyway. Hes around the same age as my grandfather.

Sadly, if he is dead one of his vituperative harpy offspring will just keep the church going. It'll probably keep on rolling until the inevitable scandal about incest, child molesting, and inbreeding emerges. (You know it will. These kinds of family cult-churches ALWAYS have shit like that going on.)
Oh no doubt nigel. Especially where you cant marry outside the church. Has anything like that been suggested yet? I think that there have been members who have left and cut off ties.

To be fair, little family cults also have the option of going the "fade into obscurity" or "chill out into a more palatable splinter church" routes. You just don't hear anything from the first, and the latter try to play down their batshit crazy roots.
Given what a bunch of publicity-whoring dickmongers the Phelpses are, though, the options are significantly more limited.

Oh, yes: http://fredphelps.com/?page_id=4
QuotePhelps does not permit Westboro members to marry persons outside the church[citation needed]. As relatively few individuals have joined Westboro, there have been at least two marriages between the Phelps and Hockenbarger clans, resulting in some members having dual genealogical relationships[citation needed]. In the documentary The Most Hated Family in America, the young girls in the church express no interest in getting married, because "that's not what we are about" and "we're living in the last of the last days, times are very short".
It'll be really interesting when the younger girls who have "no interest in marriage" start turning up pregnant. My guess is that when this happens they'll simply disappear from the public for a few months, and then an older Phelps harpy will mysteriously have "adopted" a newborn baby. That's the traditional Christian cult method for dealing with incestuous pregnancies in their younger members.

Oh, I am equally guilty here, Nigel. But this is, IMO, a special case. He made his living tormenting grieving families, and then suing anyone who lost their temper.
I can't think of a whole lot of things that are lower than that.

Fuck it. Bury the cunt anyway. Or cremate him even. David Koresh style. He'd like
that.
He'll die eventually.
Morally speaking, I'm pretty sure the guilt of feeling good about him kicking the bucket is exponentially outweighed by the opportunity for righteous lulz :evil:
I dream of a sea of mourners all breaking down in outraged tears when confronted by an army of people waving "God hates Phelps" banners. The fact that not a single one will appreciated the irony merely serves to make the whole thing funnier.

The theory of human gestation being 9 months is not accepted by all scientific experts. In fact, health classes should be teaching the controversy.

That's waaaay more hardcore than I. Those are some real Discordians.
Really? I've never seen "being a dick for dick's sake" as being Discordian at all. Discordians can definitely do it, but it's not really core to any of the various Discordian philosophies I've seen around.

Looks like the WBC might be a little outnumbered:
http://www.facebook.com/events/287617517974489/ (http://www.facebook.com/events/287617517974489/)
I realize that this is Facebook Activism, so all 2500+ "Goings" won't show up, but even a tiny fraction of that should be plenty to form a nice solid wall between WBC and the families. If I don't have to make another return trip to the doctor tomorrow*, I'll probably head up there.
*Tip: If you think you've been bitten by a poisonous spider, don't wait a couple of days to see if it will heal on its own before going to the doctor.
