I feel no better for the death of this vile man. Though he has passed away his legacy of disgusting behavior continues. This man who protested the funerals murdered LGBT victims. This man who had no regard for the grief mothers who lost sons to war. This man who he and his vile church held signs thanking God for IEDs and with a megaphone proclaimed that God sent your children back dead for not executing all the f+@#!&s. This man who lead a church of hate and his legacy will only be pain, hatred, and bigotry. I will not celebrate your death Fred Phelps, because there is nothing to celebrate. I can only hope you died alone shunned by those you love as the news seems to portend.
May he rest peacefully. Even him.

He spent too much time spewing hatred. Let's show ourselves to be better than him, and let his passing go by without sending it back at him.
Considering how much he seemed to crave attention, I think the most fitting way to react is to let his passing go by without comment.
Except maybe this: May God have more mercy on him that most people would.
May in death he find the peace he denied so many.
May the Lord show him the love he should have spread and forgive him for his hate.
And may his legacy crumble to dust and be no more.

It is said that one should not speak ill of the dead but only good.
So I will.
Rev Fred Phelps is dead. Good.

He doesn't deserve a thread talking about him. Hidden.

I'm going to close the thread and steal a quote from Sean K Reynolds:
Don't celebrate the death of an evil person. Ignore them. They weren't worth your time when they were alive, they are worth even less now that they're dead. From Pan's Labyrinth:
Capitán Vidal: Tell my son the time that his father died. Tell him...
Mercedes: No. He won't even know your name.
This is a man who stirred up a lot of drama in his lifetime and there is no reason to drag this stuff onto paizo.com.
