Has anyone here read the online book about Fred Phelps? It has an amazing insight into his story — the religious issues, his gluttony, becoming obese, feasting on chicken dinners while the children had to eat some bizarre sludge porridge thing, followed by a fanatical weight-loss meth binge, his violence towards his family, how more than half the family ended up becoming lawyers, the hatred and lunacy of his story is breath-taking. Four of his thirteen children eventually abandoned him, and this is apparently "the norm" for children who were seriously abused — only one in four will ever admit that it happened. Bloody scary. One of the things that Fred Phelp's children said of him was that he is addicted to hatred. And that after some of the kids defected, and another's girlfriend committed suicide after Phelps treated her like crap, the family finally stood up to him while he was beating his wife, and said no more. And it was at that point that he started directing his hatred towards homosexuals. He and his family is completely nuts. But damn, it's quite fascinating to learn about them. In another universe, this guy could probably have been Stalin, Hitler or Pol Pot. It's madness, but on a smaller scale.
