Pastor Phelps reluctantly talks to Louis Theroux - BBC 

@TankAce Me too, actually!

@Red Crusader south park doesn't make fun of christians that much...

They tuk our yobs!!!

Eat their babies!!!

this is a very small, white group of sad people.

Most ironic statement of the century that was

and then 10 seconds later Louis has to educate on him on what 5 minus 2 is. just classic.

@@ashleyl3699 didn’t the “pastor” say he already talked for 2 minutes so saying Louis only had 3 minutes left would make sense? It’s a billion things that piece of shit needed to be educated on, but wasn’t his math correct?

Hilarious

youre too dumb if you find that funny

'this is about 15 minutes'. After a two minute interview 🤔🤔

Top comment 👍🏻 😄😆😄

His brain is religious mush, what can we expect? The problem is their delusion is far more dangerous than we know

Brilliant 😂😂😂

the whole video is shorter than 5!

Look up “Howard Stern Hollywood Squares”. This family actually went on HS back in the day. Howard put them on stage with all the type of people they hate. It was funny asf.

I wouldn’t be able to hold it either

When he said U WILL EAT UR BABIES I felt a chill down my spine when the camera pointed at a baby. Did u know WestBoro Baptist Church turned a Black man down telling him they dont want his kind in the Church. Jesus taught Love and Yet they spread hatred

The tinkly piano that followed this was wonderful

He copied that from Jim Jones.

he is american man allow for that

I'm pretty sure he just meant "You've been asking questions more than I've been answering them."

You misspelled "you're." Don't make fun of someone else when you can't even spell a basic word correctly.

@@xBwahx I'm pretty sure his dementia was already starting at this point

I have to agree with you! ;-)

Listen to what he's saying.

and then he said "15 minutes are up", he's the dumb one, not Louis >:(

there are no more genuine prophets of god anymore...and anyone who claims themselves to be is very likely to be a false prophet.

LEVEL99 Records idiot

I know you probably dont understand subtlety but he meant that Louis was wasting his time and spending too much time asking what he perceived to be silly questions

He's been dead for many years. I have a feeling that his meeting with his maker didn't go too well

He was incredibly abusive, his daughter was beaten so badly by him that she has permanent injuries. Yet she brought up her own children in this church, they basically had no choice.

Yup. It's called willful and proud ignorance.

Sounds like basically every old religious man 😂

Phelps is a narcissist & they believe they are always the smartest person in the room. Other people's opinions are irrelevant to him. Also narcissists lack empathy & don't care if they hurt or offend others. That's why he could carry those hateful signs at funerals & preach that only his church will make it to heaven & everyone else is damned by God.

Lol I was about to say the same thing. Even if what he preaches is going to be true, God would bury Phelps in the deepest parts of hell for the way he treats his own family and followers

@@123apacino He died in 2014, so I get the feeling that his meeting with his maker didn't go very well

Lol low key amazing observation

bibbies

Hahahaha good one!

lol

LOL 😂 Just remember... You're not going to eat "your babies"... YOU'RE GONNA EAT J'BABIES!!! I make a fantastic dish that's make with potatoes. It's kinda like an Au Gratain- but with J'babies. *chef kiss* Delish!

Sheesh, imagine growing up under such a father. No wonder these people get crazy.

that or the donation money is too good

I agree. Also, he's a cunt.

He spoke to louis like shit and he thinks louis is the one going to hell lol.. louis is respectable and polite and if there is a god he would be proud of him..hmm I think the old guy is abit narcisstic and very bitter, not nice

And these people vote Let that sink in

He knows Louis is trying to catch him out so he refuses to talk.

😆😆😆😆😆😂🤣🤣🤣

feels like a comedy sketch. could be a scene from the office

1:08 🤣🤣🤣

@@brumav9779 It's got the vibes of something more like peep show tbh. Mark gets a job as an interviewer.

I can't tell if she was thinking "oh, that's crazy! I would never do that!", or if it was more like "hmmm... I am a bit hungry, now that you mention it"

There's a reason he is and all his family are lawyers...they go around protest, get kicked out, and turn around sue in federal court for 1st amendment rights...and they collect the money and move on to the next town... Its genius really...

Oddly enough he was a civil rights attorney that had several notable cases under his belt in Kansas in the sixties.

Okay now. This is about 15 minutes lol

It says something about the followers of Christianity that they follow a man unable to do additions to the sum of five.

Even made Fred chuckle

It's crazy, isn't it? He was a veteran of the civil rights movement in the 60s and was arrested for his involvement iirc. Put his career on the line to liberate black people and yet shamelessly spouts the most disgusting homophobic shit you can think of. Nothing's black and white I guess.

This shit fucked up haha

As a gay man, the fact he was so anti racist is somewhat comforting. He was not evil. Just misguided.

@GG GG True but you'd think that the majority of people who campaign for racial equality are also pro-LGBTQ and not like viciously homophobic

@GG GG none of the black people I know believe homosexuality should be a crime or that gay men go to Hell. Maybe some of the West Africans I’ve met were raised to believe that but after living in America for a while, they grow largely out of it like anybody with two brain cells to rub together would.

According to some sources he was excommunicated as he was starting to realize he's hatred believes were wrong.

Scientology wins in sanity, hands down. Say what you want about them (believe me, I hate them too) at least there's a kernel of philosophy there that is actually positive and empowering for its believers. WBC and Fred Phelps had no positivity at all. Everyone was going to hell, no matter what. Everyone was to be hated; even their own followers were probably going to hell. Scientology was born out of sci-fi Utopianism; WBC is Doomsday to the extreme. It's like all they read was Revelations and no other part of the Bible.

@@Zzyzzyzzs i wonder what the intergalactic space warlord Zenu would think about this..... crazy is as crazy does

@@Zzyzzyzzs You can only think that because you don't know anything about Scientology, The main difference between WBC and Scientology is that Scientology is a successful criminal racket not just an evil cult; they are both evil cults

@@2012nut Xenu, or Xemu, and he is not a good guy in Scientology

@@Zzyzzyzzs Scientology is worse by just about every conceivable metric. WBC is hateful; however, the Supreme Court decided (correctly) that to be hateful is their prerogative if that’s how they wish to live. Scientology is literally an extortion racket and their members harassed the women Danny Masterson raped (add witness tampering to their rap sheet). They’ve also broken up families with their bullshit policy about “Suppressive Persons” and threatened to bring litigation against anybody who speaks the truth about them after leaving. Westboro isn’t automatically worse just because they say nasty things about gays and military personnel.

Do it, babe.

Do it!

@@brillsmith2207 lol, I just read this comment and he said those words at the same time! 😂

Is it true that he became accepting of gay people and that's why he was excommunicated?

@@hcope28 That is correct

@@montecarlo4294 That seems bizarre. I would have imagined him being unaccepting of gay people even if Jesus appeared and ordered him to accept them.

@@hcope28 That's not really what happened. There was an activist group-owned house across the way from Phelps' residence where his church and other family members reside on the block (they neighbor each other and combine their backyards as one without fences), the group painted it with pride colors and advocate for LGBTQ youth and suicide prevention, and apparently per witnesses, Phelps stood in his doorway and remarked how the people over there are doing a good thing. Some of the more controlling family members like his daughters used this to claim their father/leader was going senile, accepted hell, and was thus excommunicated from his family and church that he spawned in the first place. The whole thing is quite bizarre but true. It's still a reach to say Phelps became actually embracing and accepting of LGBTQ people toward the end but we can reasonably read into the idea that he wanted to embrace some sense of positivity before his demise.

thats a lie,he just went senile and was ousted by his daughter and she made up a tale@@citypopFM

Fred Phelps did have dementia in the last years of his life... in Theroux's latest documentary with the WBC made this year he stated he was excommunicated from the church cos of behavior related to his dementia.

He did have dementia near the end, so he likely had a good amount of it years before unless it was caused by a sudden stroke or smtg. But even as a youth he had this vile attitude so it can't all be blamed on that.

Really? Where's the link to that information or video?

Or he just got confused and thought all protesters were by default Westboro Church protesters. His church uses rainbow background on a bunch of their placards... but it could be simpler than that. He could have been at a point where he could recognise what a protest was, but not comprehend that there could be any kind of protest expect his church protesting funerals etc. They were good people for protesting, in his mind. Maybe.

Let's face it. By this time, Phelps had gone so barmy he would probably have kissed Mel Gibson on the lips.

It’s gonzo style journalism
