I'm thinking 'hyper vigilance' about one matter (or a few) of dogma is compensation for knowingly and willingly fucking up other issues.
For example, Westboro has a corn cob up their asses about homosexuality (and divorce a little) but they are otherwise extremely lax about women addressing men about religion, mixed fabrics, dietary law, handling serpents, and I could go on for quite a while.
Don't ever mistake Westboro members for Literalists, they are not Literalist and are far closer to Methodists, Catholics, Baptists, Unitarians, etal than they are to anything God (if He existed) would find pleasing as an example of even minimal fealty to His Word.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
