All right T@T, you make a good point. The Bible is a big book, and if you have a point that you want to make (e.g. all of America's problems are because a strong stance against homosexuals is lacking) you can probably find something in there to support your point. Of course, if you take an approach like Textcritic, your more likely to come to something a little more sensible.
To be honest, what offended me more about your original post was this line:

The irony here is of course that in protest of a bigot, you made a very bigoted comment. What if you had said something like "The end of homosexuality can't come fast enough?"
By stereotyping all people who take their morals from God as something the world would be better off without, you ignore the fact that for every Westboro Baptist Church there are many other churches that base their faith on love. The world is better off for those churches, whether you know it or not.
I won't go so far as to say that your comments make you in many ways similar to the followers of Westboro. That is a hateful organization that preys on people at their most vulnerable. You are obviously an intelligent person who thinks critically. But the smartest people are those who can recognize when they're wrong. I suggest you try to broaden your understanding of the religions of this world before you call for their extermination.
