Many individuals, groups, organizations, institutes, and foundations are currently active in the United States which exist for the sole purpose of destroying the Constitutional laws and rights upon which honest Americans abide. Their motivations are many, consisting of a broad spectrum of destructive and tyrannical religious ideologies. Of course we have all seen the media coverage of these hate groups: The better-educated among us watched in horror as David Duke, the one-time head of the Christian organization called The Ku Klux Klan, nearly acquired the governor-ship of Louisiana. Imagine what the results of a successful election for David Duke would have been to every Jew, black, Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Mexican, and atheist in the State. We continue to observe hatred and bigotry spouted from every fundamentalist Christian pulpit across the country. Bigotry against blacks, women, homosexuals, Mexicans, atheists, and even other brand names of Christianity are all favorite targets for these purveyors of hatred. Using the rhetoric of "Hate the sin, not the sinner," these people manage to convince themselves they can hate with justification. Using the rhetoric of," Jews were created out of mud" and "blacks are the result of Eve copulating with animals," these purveyors of hatred manage to convince themselves they can hate with justification -- all of it fully sanction by gods and the Christian mythologies, of course. Every week brings news of domestic Christian terrorists murdering abortion providers, blowing up business, or assaulting women. One Christian terrorist organization last month even went so far as to plant two bombs timed apart for the specific purpose of killing rescue workers working to aid the victims of the first. (Review the so-called "Army of God" Christian organization.) Every month brings news of a self-proclaimed "militia" taking "responsibility" for a terrorist act against what they pretend is "the enemy." Every one of the self-proclaimed "militias" are Christian terrorist organizations with a membership largely consisting of Pentecostal or Christian Identity believers. They believe that Jews are taking over the world with a so-called New World Order and that they have the right to murder children because "what about all those unborn babies murdered in abortion clinics?" They believe that the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States grants them the right to form "militias" of their own. (They do so by selectively reading what they wish and ignoring the rest of the Constitution.) Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, is a Christian Identity follower who was trained by one of these self-proclaimed "militias," led by a Baptist minister. Voter apathy allows Creationists to subvert science education in the public schools -- until the populace learns of their stealth deceptions and turn out in mass to eject them the following year. In the same vein there are hundreds of anti-science organizations which seek to subvert science in favor of a racial or religious ideology masquerading as science -- every single one of which are the very antithesis of good, quality science. The growing anti-women sentiment culminating in the creation of the Promise Keepers -- the so-called "Men's Christian Organization" which advocates the violent "taking back" of men's authority over their wives -- all for the little women's good, of course. During and immediately after this group's Klan rallies, many women have reported being accosted by these hate-mongering anti-woman bigots. The instigation of unconstitutional laws around the country, each of which seek to feed upon the fears and hatred of the ignorant among the populace. From the "Communications Decency Act" to the infamous Proposition 2 in Colorado, fundamentalist purveyors of hatred and bigotry are actively seeking to enact unconstitutional laws. When humanists and secularists ask for honest Christians to take care of their religion's garbage and try to police their members, the ages-old cop-out is nearly always employed: "Oh but they're not TRUE Christians!" Thus the problem is relegated to "It's not our fault because it's not our problem." The problem is that Christianity is fractured into thousands of brands, each of them ranging from the positive side of the spectrum to the most evil side of the spectrum. Every fraction pretends every other fraction aren't "TRUE Christians." Thus honest Christians honestly don't see the need to police groups they can't acknowledge are their responsibility. The fact is that hatred and bigotry is everybody's business. Sadly the clean-up of religious bigots have been left to the secular community simply because the religious refuse to admit they have a problem and will rarely even acknowledge they exists.
Then there was Stalin. And Mao. And don't forget Nero or Caligula. However we have kept our composure instead of starting a rant about it: "YOU NON-CHRISTIANS ARE HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.. YOU KNOW HOW HORRIBLE AND CORRUPT YOU ARE? YOU SHOULD ALLL GO AND DIE. FUCK YOU ALL, I'LL THROW YOU TO FUCKING LIONS AND MAKE YOU WORK YOURSELVES TO DEATH IN CAMPS." ..."AND WHEN YOU DIE, I WILL TAPDANCE ON YOUR GRAVE"
YOU may have kept your composure, but "Christians" have not. Remember the witch burnings, crusades, inquisitions, and jew killing? This isn't just some distant history, it's a recurring theme of your religion. Islam too, but that's a different forum. You people with your strict and literal dogma just can't handle heretics. Horrors like those I mentioned are bound to keep occuring with such a faith as yours. *bear in mind the fact that I know most believers of such religions generally mean well and usually aren't party to such evils. But the faith as a whole encompasses and perpetuates these things by it's very nature: "it's our way or the highway"
