Of course they'd need to check with Fred to check if God hates child-molesters, but the evidence so far would seem to suggest that He doesn't.

Plus, Phelps is banned from the UK so we wouldn't have to witness any more crowds of believers weeping in front of the Popemobile and clogging up the roads.
