    If God doesn't take pleasure in the deaths of anyone (Ezekiel 18:32), how can we?

    No Christian should take pleasure. The death of anyone especially when that person appears to be in our eyes on the road to Hell should fill us with sadness.

      Hopefully the church loses momentum after losing its founder and figurehead.

        Does it make me a bad Christian if I say I'm as indifferent to the guy as I was before this news?

            Hearing that he got kicked out at the end of August, I went to their website and looked at their sermon audio listing and found the last one he spoke in was September 1, 2013 - http://godhatesfags.com/audio/index.html

            I'm about halfway through and it sounds less like a sermon and more like a farewell address and his voice is often filled with emotion. It's also exceedingly short (12 minutes). Something definitely happened.

              does anyone else think that when he dies, there will be a lot of people who protest at his funeral?

                He isn't getting a funeral: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_4980493.html

                      Actually, they don't have to bury the body. More and more people are going for cremation - but I don't know if that's within the policy of his church.
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        Now the news is apparently that he was kicked out for advocating a kinder approach between church members.

                          Fred Phelps reportedly called for "kinder treatment of fellow church members," a sentiment which was ill-received.
                          There's a shocker.
