BULLSHIT! Cite your chapter and verse please. Or perhaps this is a better representation of his stance?

Oh they're very well aware of the hypocrisy.  But they don't care.  They're Calvinists and think they're the chosen people.

Ironbite-too bad they're not.

Wait, they're Calvinists?  I must've missed that part when I first heard about them.

(Then again, to be honest, they basically worship a "divine copy" of Fred Phelps, so I think even other Calvinists would shy away from them.)

Whatever the case, they're pathetic and I chortle at them.  CHORTLE I SAY!

Yes, they are in fact Calvinists. At a counterprotest I went to, I ended up arguing with some of them, and they proudly trumpeted their belief that there is no such thing as free will.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

Chortling is pretty much the best response, but guffawing is also up there.

Calvinism is a psychotic belief system.
From international relations to religious rivalries, from marriage to athlete's foot, whatever the problem a fundy's first solution is usually violence.

So then I guess they won't blame me for punching them in the face. I mean, it's not like I had a choice, right?
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Not only that, but if they actually think there is no such things as free will, then that means gays and lesbians were made that way by God and they had no choice in the matter.  So WBC is actually protesting God and his divine design.
The heavens convince me there is no god.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.--Steven Weinberg

I view them more as a Calvinism-inspired cult, meself.

Except that BECAUSE there's no such thing as free will, WBC has no choice but to protest God and his divine design!

Reminds me of the time my dad asked me how to spell illiterate. If only they had done the same thing.
