I do suspect they truly believe all they say. I think they're sincere Christians, they're just subscribing to an interpretation of the religion that has fallen out of fashion in our modern, more permissive society.

Whatever happened to "Love thy neighbor as thyself"?
Perhaps there's a lot of self-hatred going on with that inbred Phelps clan.

They absolutely, positively believe what they're saying. I also agree that there's definitely some latent homosexuality going on there, because for all their "Christian" posturing, they only seem to be concerned (well, OBSESSED) with one particular "sin." They don't seem to have any problem at all with lying, cheating, stealing, murder, rape, torture, child molesting (except where gay priests are concerned, of course) or anything else that would seem to be against God's will. They just can't get their minds out of the bedrooms of homosexuals, and what might be going on in there. One can't help but wonder why that is, hmm?
Call me cynical... :-X

Verona, that has been my exact take on the matter too. :-\
I think their behaviour is a compromise between the ignorant and intolerant brand of Christianity they subscribe to that sadly still believes homosexuality to be an "abomination in the eyes of the Lord " etc etc - and a deep and very intense fascination with the ins and outs (pardon the pun) of gay sex. It's an obsessive and prurient fascination at that - though they'd never admit it, nor are they probably fully conscious of that particular part.
I wish they would let the whole "abomination" thing go and just admit to the fascination. (yeah, I know - dream on.) Read up on some good slash stories, watch themselves some gay porn, even. Would give them a more tolerant, happy and relaxed life all around. Because when all is said and done I can't imagine any of these Phelps people with all their frustrated anger and their child abuse (IMO) are happy for a second of the day.
Hey - Paul, I see the dancing bear has joined our ranks! That's cool! :)

Sure enough, don't know if it applies to the Phelps clan, but a lot of the most extreme homophobes are intensely self-hating people with gay feelings.
Glad you like the bear. :)
