FR>And I might add that you can't join the KKK and then demand you're not

FR>you willingly join an evil cult knowing full well what the cult stands
FR>for, you are in agreement with it.  And if _that_ remains unclear, I'll
FR>try again:  If you're a Christian who knows what the history of your cult

C'mon, Fred, that's scrambled reasoning.  Many of the eugenicists
were Darwinists.  By your reasoning, therefore Darwinists are
eugenicists.
FR>Pretending Christianity's history doesn't exist is silly.
Okay, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao were atheists.  Now, try
replacing "Christian" with "atheist" in your above reasoning.
When you get to the part where accepting atheism means you are
in agreement with genocide, you may begin to suspect a flaw in
the reasoning.
