Sigh, its sad to see this sort of stuff. You can see the cognitive dissonance in the two of them as they make a statement to rationalize their stance, and internally realize it made no sense.
This type of thing is not unique to hate groups though. Humans will use any excuse they are allowed to get away with, to rationalize their irrational hatred of others. Then once you cut through all the BS, they eventually give you the unfiltered truth.
Sidebar topic, PURELY for perspective, not to attack anyone's belief: Hearing these folks use religion as a basis for discrimination sounds about the same as hearing a non-KKK person using religion as a basis to discriminate against another citizen for reasons other than Race. It's easy to come together to condemn these folks for discriminating about race, because the successes of the civil rights movements made racial discrimination extremely unpopular; but if someone were to make similar statements to rationalize discriminating against homosexuals, transgender, Islam, etc, would the condemnation be the same? I don't say that to attack, I say that to bring context to the way our perceptions of our own "groups" can be swayed purely based on whether we feel one has more merit than the other.
Just food for thought.

Slightly confused by what these goofballs said. They quote scripture, but it's what they perceived as being right. They need to do some further reading and find the whole truth.

Sad when people (mis)quote scripture that way, SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth. The science of exegesis needs to be taught in churches.
