I just stumbled across this BBC documentary on Fred Phelps' congregation (the "God Hates Fags" people), and it is quite fascinating to watch these people. It's interesting how what they're doing makes perfect sense from their point of view of Biblical literalism and fundamentalist Christianity, but because they can't see through the bullshit they are rendered incapable of seeing how hateful and harmful their false ideology is. I mean, if you really honestly believe the Bible when it tells you that homosexuality is an abomination unto the Lord and that it is a sin worthy of eternal torture, it only makes sense to share God's prejudices, to hate whom he hates, and to celebrate when tragic deaths happen since it is all just part of God's ultimate righteous plan. I mean, if you honestly believe in Christianity, what sense does it make to mourn a tragedy? Isn't it all supposed to be for the ultimate good of God's perfect divine plan, so shouldn't you be celebrating instead like these folks when horrible tragedies happen? God must be letting these tragedies for some reason, and he must be justified in doing so. These people's way of trying to make sense of horrible tragedies like 9/11 and the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq, by blaming it on our acceptance of the "abomination" of homosexuality, makes a lot more sense, biblically speaking, than other explanations I've heard from Christians.
