Donnie Davies and the Evening Service are either incredibly scary hatemongers or fantastic satirists. I can't tell which.
From their site http://www.eveningservice.com/:
"Evening Service the band have been making music together for a long time. They first started making songs in Junior High and haven't stopped since. The lineup has changed a little bit since the early days, but the enthusiasm to create the perfect song hasn't.
Being from south Houston has been as much of a factor in the tone of the music as being Christian. We hate to label ourselves as a "Christian Rock" band, even though our faith is a big inspiration. When it comes to writing music we don't like to limit it to a category. We let our thoughts come out in the music and it is what it is. Houston is a strange place and we feel like it is reflected in our music. We live not too far from the chemical plants in Baytown and sometimes being so close to that kind of industry creates intense self-reflection, which is what we are all about.
We recently signed with Love Gods Way Ministries to help them with their new programs and produce our new album. They introduced us to Donnie Davies and are helping us focus on the album full-time. Donnie came in and showed us some of the songs he had written for the program. It is tough material and very new for the band but Donnie is a huge inspiration. Right from the first time we learned one of Donnie's songs and he sang with us on the album, we knew it was something big. It is turning out to be one of the coolest records we've ever heard.

"Lord help me fight these feelings": Sounds like the singer is struggling with his own emerging homosexuality. Perhaps he's already "sinned"?
"To enter heaven there's no back door": He. He he hehe. He said "back door", Beavus.
Mr. Davies, Jesus thinks you're a jerk.
"God Hates Fags" and all it's derivatives simply anger me. You would think that a group of Christians working professionally in their faith and music would do enough biblical research to conclude that their Biblical text confirms that homosexuality is not permitted in the constraints of Christianity but it more importantly does not manifest hatred from God. The bible makes it much more clear that everyone is loved by God than that homosexuality is a sin.

"The bible makes it much more clear that everyone is loved by God than that homosexuality is a sin."
Looking at the Old Testament and the New Testament, God's character appears quite different. The God of the Old Testament often seems brutal, vengeful, and even savage. On the other hand, in the New Testament, God is described as a loving, caring, compassionate. Such a conflict is easily explained if the Bible is accepted as simply a collection of stories, myths, legends, and partial histories that are examples of the values and beliefs of particular cultures from which they originated, but much more difficult to reconcile if the Bible is presupposed to be true.

I'll still upvote it based on my belief, but I seriously think you should add a Wtf tag to this, because whether he's serious or joking you're still likely to exclaim "What the fuck!?" after hearing the "God hates a fag" chorus.
Because if this is serious...oh dear...oh dear
