Those horrible, intolerant, heartless gay-haters at the Westboro Baptist Church are preparing to spread their evil message at Elizabeth Taylor's funeral ... a higher power tells TMZ.

Margie Phelps -- daughter of WBC Pastor Fred Phelps -- took to Twitter today to announce the church is going to picket non-lesbian Liz's funeral ... all because Liz was apparently some sort of gay "enabler" and (God forbid) an AIDS activist.

"Whackjobs, but then again so are most Baptists..."

Yah, I really couldn't agree with that statement less. If you had known my old grandaddy, decon of a Southern Baptist church in Shawnee, OK, you would change your mind. The man was good God-fearing Jesus-loving people, he walked the walk. I don't know if "most" Baptists have his honor but I really wish you could have met Otho Orville Oliver.

RIP Grandpa.

These people are total strangers to Christ’s teachings.

Well, they are Democrats.

Q: What is the difference between Westboro Baptist Church and Coney Island?
A: You can see the freaks for free at Westboro Baptist, and they are far more exotic than performers with multiple body piercings, human blockheads, and so on.

Q: Why is the Westboro Baptist Church God’s house?
A: The Devil had first choice and he took Hell.

Q: Why is Fred Phelps the Lord’s servant?
A: The Devil had first choice and he took White Aryan Resistance leader Tom Metzger.

I have some off-color ones as well but this is a family-friendly site.

Fred Phelps thinks he and his family are the only ones who are "saved." Everybody else is going to Hell. Of course, eternal damnation would HAVE to include the company of the Phelps family so there is something wrong with that assertion.

"Phelps says he is an old school Baptist, which includes John Calvin’s doctrine of unconditional election, the belief that God has elected certain people for salvation before birth. He says that almost nobody is a member of the elect, and furthermore that he and the members of his congregation (mostly his family) are the only members of the elect, because they are the only ones not afraid to publish the current relevant application of the word of God"
