What hope do we have to evolve as a species...

....with people like this still around?

I can't tell you how much right wing evil Christians make my blood boil. When I say 'Evil Christian' I by no way mean that all right wing Christians are evil. I want to make it clear that I mean 'evil' as opposed to 'good' Christians. I just realised now I find it difficult to write right wing 'good' christians...I'm sure there are some though, just a few...

Anyway Shirley Phelps-Roper is Evil! And this is what I just wrote to her:

I've just heard the hate and vitriol spewing from the mouth of Shirley Phelps-Roper regarding Heath Ledger's death. I'll assume I'm one of quite a few Australians who have contacted you since her interview on 2UE.

I just feel sorry for you Shirley, and those like you. You must all have very sad, small, twisted and bitter existences because no-one saying the things you say can by truly happy, content, joyous or free. I am not a Christian but believe that there was an amazing man by the name of Jesus who existed a long time ago and got the people around him to think about things a bit more deeply. I also believe that he spread the word of love for the world and for fellow human beings. You, on the other hand spread the word of Hate don't you? Your feeble little brains do compute that? I mean if I was to do a word search on the word 'hate' it would come up 200 or so times on your website. 'God Hates America' 'God Hates Canada' God Hates, God Hates, God Hates…What kind of message is that? All this hate and images of hell must be attracting the darkest energies into your life. It must be an awful and woeful burden to bear. And you have devoted your whole life to it? What a waste..

I believe man created god in his image, not the other way around but if I was wrong and YOUR god exists; that there is this thick, twisted, sadistic, megalomaniac in the sky somewhere creating sick, desperate tests for his own amusement and waiting for us to slip up in our humanity then quite frankly, I'm very happy not be invited to his 'heaven'…I’d be avoiding hell, more like it.

But of course, I don't think I have it wrong; Your God makes absolutely no sense to me – it’s the worse kind of fairy tale. While I haven't closed all doors on what's on the other side of death, I do treat This Blessed, Miraculous Life as the only one I know I've got for certain and make it as magical and wonderful as I can. I love to smile and laugh. I love my diverse group of friends (yes, of course this includes people who are gay). I love knowing that life is a journey and that I'm learning and gathering wisdom on the way and will continue; I will never be too old. I love caring for the planet and helping out my fellow travellers whenever and wherever I can. I love being happy, I love it when inspiration stirs me. I live life with my eyes and heart wide open and I am so very glad I am nothing like you.

I tried to post it on her website but I'm guessing there are a few people who want to give her their two cents worth. I'll keep y'all posted.
