My understanding (granted, nothing this group does makes sense to sane people) is that they feel that God hates gays. Therefore, anytime there is a tragedy it is God having an active hand in punishing us Evil Queer Loving Americans. It is also just an attention-getting thing for their twisted "message" of gays being sinners.

Like I said, it doesn't really make sense. But there ya go.

So does that make the Book of Job one big helping of gay porn? Seriously, how does this even make sense to them? Jesus didn't say to love our neighbours, except the gay ones. Ok, I'm done.

They also hate Roman Catholics and Christina Green was Catholic. They switch up some of the "God Hates Fags" posters with the "Pope is the AntiChrist" and other anti-catholic ones.

Oh, yeah. That too. Forgot about that one.

When any "religious" group gets sooooo tunnel-visioned on one element of their book of worship (be it Bible, Qaran, etc) we wind up with whackos. Plain and simple.

Eventually, one of the members of this group (just can't call them a "church") will die. Eventually.

Wow. Didn't know this.
