I have written about Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church here a few times, but I decided not to comment on the news that Phelps was dying or his death. I suppose I did not feel like I had much to add to what had already been said. That hasn't changed.
Here is a collection of what others in the online atheist community have written on the subject so far:
