These nuts, well they just agree to the whole book without question. They are just following the bible.
The real truth is that they are not taking the Word of God literally. They twist it and contort it to suit their own desires and this "Phelps" is dragging people into his personal war on Homosexuality. The fact is that anyone can take one portion of a verse here and one portion of a verse there to make the Bible say whatever they want it to say. Context is everything. If you want a specific example, PM me and I can show you what I mean.

Franklin Graham put the Christian / Homosexuality debate best here in this interview - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...ws/graham.html

I do get annoyed that fanatics like these ruin any good in, as you put it, "Religion". And when I speak out about it I get grouped in that Religious fanatic clan and I am the farthest from that. The fact is that I am glad for the litigation. I think this so called church should be punished for being stupid.
