I agree. This group is either:
1. Completely misguided and attempting to do good, in their hearts.
or
2. Not Christian at all but feed on the publicity.
I think #2.

How about #3--organized and funded by a leftist Dirty Tricks outfit?

I would add a third reason for the group's behavior:
3. Inbreeding.
I understand that just about all 75 members of the church are from the family of Pastor Fred Phelps. Cults like that tend to discourage marriage with "non-believers," so where are they going to go for mates?
