I want to thank those of you who posted the sources of information about Christian Identity. I honestly didn't know about the computer network that links groups such as the Klan and the Aryan Nations. In reality, I'm told that an individual doesn't find them, they find the individual. (I personally have other means of linking up with people, ways that are far less obvious and far more secure.) Didn't somebody out here say that if I wanted to know the truth about Judaism, I should be asking Jews? Remember that article in "Time" about Christian Identity? It follows that if you want to know the truth about Christian Identity, you should ask one who believes in it. Marchionni, you said correctly that there is nothing to support Identity in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, or in Mainstream Protestantism. You're right, there isn't. But up until the 16th century, there was nothing to support the teachings of Luther, either. And until the last century, there was nothing to support L.D.S., Jehovah's Witnesses, or Christian Science, either. And yet these four are established denominations today. And remember who controls Mainstream Protestantism today--the National Council of Churches, one of David Rockefeller's front organizations. Of course you won't find any support of Identity from a group that wants One-World-Government. Let me work into something, here. I happen to subscribe to belief in the Trinity, the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, and Life Everlasting, that abortion is murder, that sin is wrong, and that he who dies unrepentant will burn in Hell. These are all Catholic doctrine, are they not? Does belief in these doctrines make me a Catholic? No. They are shared amongst various "Protestant" denominations. Now I ask the net this: If a person disagrees strongly with Judaism, with Zionism, is he automatically a Nazi? If a person shares a religious belief with a group that claims to be Nazis or racists, is that person automatically a Nazi or a racist? If a person stands up for the right of another to speak, is he automatically in agreement with him? Am I wrong in saying that the civil rights of a Nazi or Communist are just as important as the civil rights of a Christian or a Jew? I'll add a disclaimer: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the following groups: 1. The American Nazi Party, the Aryan Nations, or any group that is obviously neo-nazi, or that glorifies Hitler. 2. The Communist Party or any of its affilliates. 3. The Ku Klux Klan. 4. The John Birch Society (I shouldn't lump this one in with the other three.) Although I do not advocate the violent overthrow of the Constitutional government of the United States, I do advocate the absolute right of the people to reclaim the powers of government should the Constitutional government become abusive of the rights of Man. No group, religious or otherwise, tells me what to say or think. On the other hand, if I am in agreement with a group, I just may join them. And I fear no mortal. Now another legitimate question for the net. Were Charles Lindberg and Gen George S. Patton, Jr., Nazis?
