I also recall a lot of God inflicting terrible punishments for various crimes from the truly insignificant to the absolutely horrible. Why, he once let horrible things be done to a person just to win a back-alley bet and another time he forced a man to murder his own son just to show devotion.
So upon reading the Bible it is easy to understand getting mixed messages on the loving nature of god.
But Fred Phelps is still a dick.
