you know what was interesting...when I read this quote in [livejournal.com profile] akienm's journal, I thought the speaker was opining that there is no God/God loves no one. It took reading the article to get that the speaker believes otherwise.

Just wondering, do you think she wanted John 3:16 to read "For God so loved the good and righteous people...."no, wait, that doesn't make Christological sense. How about "For God so loved the Christians..."mmm, nope, no chronological sense. Okay, I give up. I'm with you and Jesus on this one.

How do you read Phelps, then? It sounded to me like he was claiming that God doesn't love anyone, at all. We create God in our own image, right?

Times like this I wish I believed in Hell so people like him could burn in it.

Well, I think Phelps's theology would be a God of vengence, not a God of love. But I think what his daughter was actually saying was that God only loves Christians who pefectly follow His [sic] will. Never mind, of course, that the premise of Christianity is that humans are fallable/imperfect.
