Weather keeps protesters (Fred Phelps) in Chicago

[deadparrot]

ATLANTIC CITY — In the end, plans by a controversial religious group to disrupt Saturday's funeral of a local man killed while serving in Iraq were done in by an act of God.

Severe weather in Chicago forced the cancellation of a flight to Philadelphia for members of the Westboro Baptist Church, a Kansas congregation that believes U.S. casualties in Iraq are God's way of punishing America for tolerating gays and lesbians.

Church attorney Shirley Phelps-Roper said that while it was God's will that church members protest at the funeral of U.S. Army Spc. Eric Rivera, God also controls the weather.

“Once you get to the airport, and you can't get on a plane, that pretty much does it for you,” she said.

9. Well, I hope they can't find a hotel that will take them, and that they're stuck at O'Hare for days.

Severe weather in Chicago is god's way of punishing Phelps for bashing gays and lesbians.
