I don't even know any more

Okay, now seriously. Is http://www.godhatesfags.com/ for real? I honestly can't tell if it's heartfelt zealotry or dedicated, straight-faced parody. Hilarious though the photographs of cheerfully beaming followers clutching merrily-hued placards reading "GOD: AMERICA'S TERRORIST" and "YOU EAT YOUR BABIES" are, it's worrying to think they are going on actual pickets and haranguing actual people.

Plus, of course, even if it is a parody (and I'm genuinely not sure either way), it's so very straight-faced and so very seriously-produced that some people may act on it.

Edited to add: Oh right, it's entirely serious. I think I was aware of it before, but just reading through the site, the whole thing seems so very absurd that it's hard to take on face value. Seriously, the site reads like an Onion article. Come on, they have placards reading "THANK GOD FOR IEDs!" And they're so happy! It just does not compute.

its cos they are deep down genuinly unhappy with their lives in my opinion, people who are content and generally pleased with their lot do not feel the need to drag everyone down with them and transfer their dissatisfaction and hatred of their own lives onto other people

They are probably deeply unhappy because they are massively in the closet. Being disgusted with their inner thoughts they think that their actions will redeem them to some sort of fictional sky fairy.
