Perhaps the best way to approach him is make fun of his situation. We have an out of work, disbarred lawyer who thinks he's established a religion and gets attention every time he says something controversial or waves an obscene poster in the wrong person's face. Obviously, we just have a case of someone with too much free time on his hands who has nothing better to do but get himself into trouble. We have a senile old fart with an elite army produced from his loins who help him make the obscene poster to wave into the wrong person's face. We have a church bent on fighting controversy with obscenity.
Obscenity is illegal.
To say what we have on our signs is obscene is blasphemous and if you think about it, is just plain silly. Funny, I thought that was supposed to be California. What I want to accomplish is what I am accomplishing, spreading the unambiguous word of God Almighty. Phelps must be worshiping a different God than the one I worship, because hate is not a characteristic of my God. Nobody can claim to be a believer or a preacher of the Bible.
