Perhaps your own morals were not formed in a way that allowed for applied ethics, or any situational relativism. Often people of some religious belief have trouble with it, as many ethics are structured around god, but things are very rarely cut and dry.
If nothing else, I find the philosophy behind it fascinating. I understand the morality behind your statements, but I also find it immoral to refuse to differentiate between the treatment of people based on situational context.

You're not thinking like a crazy person.
Start with the absolute conviction that god is real.
If there is a god, then
all ethical and moral dilemmas
are structured around god and these issues
are cut and dry.
According to WBC and some interpretations of the bible, if you sin, or allow sinners to sin, you're going to hell. WBC have taken it upon themselves to scorn the world and to warn the world of their upcoming doom.
That said, it doesn't seem like they take too much stock in what that Jesus guy has to say about acceptance and love. He dies at the end anyway so I guess he doesn't matter that much.
