The British Fred Phelps.

What a prize arsehole. The only significant difference between him and Fred "God hates fags" Phelps is that Green, regrettably, is still alive.

I wonder how many more people will give up being Christian because of him?!

Is he a Christian? I wouldn't have thought so. He's a fanatical bigot that's for sure.

I doubt Jesus would have wanted that unpleasant excuse for a human in his club!

He says he is. So he must be.

Pesky thing this self definition lark.

Only if you identify with it?
I hear they are going to introduce it into Biology and several cephalopod species apparently wish to identify as Swiss accountants.

I hope you don't class the above as humour!

A Christian is someone who believes certain propositions. If he believes them, he's a Christian. Christian belief ought to make one a better person, but that's not the essence of it. Therefore, I think he is a Christian, though emphatically not the kind I want anything to do with.

Religion should make you a better person, sadly it sometimes has the opposite effect. :o

To be fair, Green would probably have been a vicious, bigoted twunt even if he was an atheist. He just has that kind of personality.

You are probably right.
