After all, the Westboro folks are all scripture cherry pickers, just like the Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics, all of them. They are scarcely that far off doctrinally, they just ignore different scriptures and emphasize other ones.
Once scripture cherry picking is allowed, we can hardly fault folks for picking and overlooking the ones they want to. When the inmates are running the institution, so to speak, instead of God, that's what's going to happen. People know better than God, why let Him mess up their fun? He's not going to step in and correct them, at least he never has so far.

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