But, since the WBC have brought so much hatred down on themselves, their natural inclination is going to be professional victimhood. Even if the investigation turns up that the fire started in a computer that was hit by a power surge, the WBC will still find a way to play the victim, with an accusation of "anti-Christian bias" on the part of the fire marshal. The safe assumption has long been that Fred Phelps is mentally ill and disconnected from reality. Hanlon's Razor doesn't apply to him.

If that ain’t a crime I don’t know what is. As far as the bolt of lighting, I believe that God uses man to do his bidding. If I pray all day for the light to go out at home, there not going out until I turn them out.

I do not think this had anything to do with God. If God wanted the church burned down he would have sent a bolt of lightning to do the job. One other thing.

Free speech is free speech, and I will not applaud this crime though it is tempting to do so. I know how different our reactions would be if this crime was to a more moderate religion instead of a hate cult. Its only natural to be less sympathetic, but crime is crime.
