mb> One person posts this crap, and now "most" Christians think
mb> this or that because of it.  How quaint your prejudice, it is.
FR> I'm sure you would like to pretend that such bigotry isn't a
FR> fundamental aspect of Christianity yet you will need to ignore
FR> all of Christianity's history to do so.  Every hate organization
FR> in the United States is comprised of theists; nearly all of them
FR> Christian organizations with the rest being Muslim or Jewish.
mb> Very prejudiced, indeed.
Very illiterate, indeed.  I'll make some assumptions about your ambiguous
commentary and then I'll note that you decided it was best not to point
out any aspect of my summation which was in the least bit "inaccurate" or
"sadly mistaken."  That was probably very wise of you.
And I'll also note that you thought it best not to try to come up with
any non-religious hate organization in operation in the United States.
That was also probably very wise of you.
FR> The KKK, Aryan Nations, Church of Jesus Christ Christian, all the
FR> so-called "Identity" groups, all the Reconstructionists, all the
FR> homophpobic groups, all the anti-women groups, the Sword and the
FR> Cross, the Promise Keeper cult, they're _all_ Christian hate groups.
And once again you couldn't bring yourself to deny this truth.  I have a
fairly large list of religious hate organizations in operation in the
United States.  I have searched for a little under a year now for any hate
group which is atheistic.
If you know of any, do try to name them.  Thanks.
FR> By their fruits ye shall know them.
FR> The history of Christianity is full of fruits.
mb> You have a prejudiced theory about the history of Christianity.
Actually, I have always allowed Christians to speak for themselves.  It
is most certain that the most accurate understanding of what a cult is
about comes straight from the believers in the cult and their actions.
mb> Certainly you can cite myriads of episodes of ignorant
mb> pseudo-christian bigotry, but these things have ABSOLUTELY nothing
mb> to do with Christianity - they instead have everything to do with
mb> human stupidity.
Certainly each and every evil Christian tyrant down through history
won't simply disappear just because you don't like to hear the truth.
    It is an undeniable fact that what a club stands for is
    determined not by what the club advocates, but by what it does.
(Read that over and over again until you understand it.)
And I might add that you can't join the KKK and then demand you're not
a racist.  If that analogy remains unclear, I'll fill in the blanks:  If
you willingly join an evil cult knowing full well what the cult stands
for, you are in agreement with it.  And if _that_ remains unclear, I'll
try again:  If you're a Christian who knows what the history of your cult
is, you are in agreement with what it stands for.
Pretending Christianity's history doesn't exist is silly.
