Attack of the Theocrats!
What a terrible, terrible, terrible story. Horrible, through and through. The parts about Fred Phelps' abusiveness and drugs was so terrible I actually had to check the source to make sure this article was coming from an actual press agency, and not just some random blog.
I thought there would be a happy ending, what with this Nate finally coming out of christianity, but it cost him his marriage and his four kids'' If they got married in '86 and divorced in '05, that would put the kids still in the home, and their father moves away to Canada.
This is just a horrible story through and through, and it shows that the Middle East isn't the only place where religion utterly destroys peoples lives.
