Let’s be clear. However much Phelps yelps and cries that he is a Christian, he is not, any more than a man tucking into a nice, juicy steak is a vegetarian, however much he claims this is the case. One of the simple and most powerful tenets of Christianity is that God loves *everyone*. We can distance ourselves from God and his love through sin, but he never stops loving us. As Lilac Rose [points out](http://lilacrose.nu/archives/000447.php?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), Phelps and his (family) lackies are nothing more than a standard homophobic hate group, wearing stolen Christian robes. Gary of Country Keepers [deconstructs him Biblically](http://www.countrykeepers.com/weblogs/2003/10/28.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com#a1412) in a great post, found via Lee Anne’s [such small hands](http://lamillinger.blogspot.com/2003%5F10%5F01%5Flamillinger%5Farchive.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com#106745971735694389).
