We've had some notable folks comment on our website, but none has been or will ever be bigger than Jesus, who surfed our way to share His thoughts about the Reverend Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church on a post from last April about these virulent scumbags. Don't think the congregation is going to be happy about what He has to say...

Jesus writes:

I will be coming down soon to do some major house cleaning and Mr. Phelps is near the top of the list. How many times do I have to tell you children to play nice with each other... now you got him all pissed off and shit and I have to come down and fix all your hate Again! My hands are tied here you kids just keep hating on each other.... Jesus Fucking Christ....woops that's me (embarrassing moment) .

Play nice for my sake is all I'm trying to say here. See you all soon... you know the drill the floods the fires the bugs the screaming and yelling Jesus save me save me...bla bla stuff.

It will all sort it self Fred is just small potatoes,

With Love -- Jesus
