I appreciated this post and take great comfort in the fact that there are others in the world paying attention to what’s going on.
The Christian Identity Movement is a name that applies to a variety of different religious cults all identified by racist, anti-Semitic principles. These cults are typically found among radically anti-government, extremist, right-wing groups and “survival groups.” Christian Identity cults are connected by various unbiblical theological similarities, mostly centered on a white supremacist mindset that seeks to replace national Israel with British or American whites as the chosen people of God. This racist theology is followed by over 50,000 people in the United States. The largest Christian Identity Movement group is the infamous Ku Klux Klan.
There are other groups with similar theology to the Christian Identity Movement, including British Israelism (the milder philosophy that gave rise to the Christian Identity theology) and Kinism, but Christian Identity is more virulently racist, and there are other differences. Christian Identity followers believe that the end of the world is going to…

Michael’s been in sort oacialf a series on this topic, and it’s been really good. Thanks for sharing IB, people need to see how this whole mindset of discrimination is not Godly in any way.

Thanks for steering me toward this. Yet another reason to KNOW the Bible.

The KKK (Ku Kluz Klan and not to be confused with the Kool Kwilting Klub) is governed by men called “grand dragons”, “dragons”, “grand wizards” and “wizards”.
Ironically enough, I have been following a channel on YouTube lately that made some satirical videos against a young woman on YouTube who was actually supported by KKK members. She was soon banned from YouTube though I don’t think she was necessarily a KKK member but was rather a Neo-Nazi.
Though it frightened me that a KKK member made a response to this guy telling him to repent of his sins against his “Christian brethren”. The KKK is not a Christian movement at all. They burn crosses!!! NO CHRISTIAN (repeat, NO CHRISTIAN) burns crosses. That is not only Satanic but it is HERESY that was condemned at the Second Council of Nicaea.

Amen! We need to speak out against that kind of nonsense because sadly Christ’s name is mentioned quite frequently in some of those groups. The bible tells us this, we know there are going to be wolves in sheep’s clothing and false prophets, but others are not always aware of that, so there needs to be lots of Christian voices speaking up loud and clear.

The Klan has never been anything but a terrorist/criminal enterprise. They not only terrorize blacks, but target whites who oppose them. President Grant actually banned them for awhile and sent troops to suppress them.
Contrary to what a lot of people believe, most Southern whites in the mid-20th Century didn’t support them; but because a lot of the Southern Aristocracy did, people were afraid to speak out. They had spies all over the place and no one knew who might report them.

Well, deception can be a powerful thing and cults have a very seductive nature to them, and then there is always the Father of all lies prowling about. It’s a potent concoction.

I agree IB, but your explanation completely ignores each individual’s ability and right to decide for themselves what they think is important. I gotta tell you though that I have zero experience with cults so I will bow to your knowledge.

I know it was just a rhetorical question, Paul. I picked up on that from your “WTH” 🙂
Personal responsibility versus brainwashing, I just don’t know, I explore that conundrum quite often. I theorize that some are simply more vulnerable to influence and crowd approval, while others are more outliers and defiant. Even that can be deceptive though because cultians often believe they are the outliers, the rebels possessing secret knowledge.

I think there’s always been a cognitive dissonance thing happening that prevents me from fully understanding stuff like the kkk. Is it really even possible to understand things that are so far off the mark from reality and Truth? Luckily even when I lived in geographical proximity to their headquarters as a teen I still had almost zero exposure to them. I can only remember one time hearing another kid openly speak about them. He was trying to show off his membership card. But everyone else at school was pretty much just giving him stares and crickets, like what on earth?! Besides that one time for a very short few minutes and once a few years later seeing them in the streets having a rally and turning my car around to get the heck out of dodge asap, in my years living so close it was still as if they couldn’t really exist. Who could be that bizarre? Of course now I know the world is full of just that much bizarre and that much scary. I sometimes get the same surreal dissonance from regular internet discussion. There are always people Internet screaming a lot of vitriol that makes no sense. It’s always from people that are hostile toward some group, people full of hate. Often groups I identify with are targeted, Christians, conservatives, homeschoolers, anti-vaxxers, people who dare to eat meat, people who dare to opt out of factory farmed food for the most part and encourage others to do the same. I guess when you live outside of the box the Romans will generally see you as lion food.

Since I’ve been following events in the Middle East one thing that stands out is the depths of evil to which human beings are capable of reaching. We read stories of the Nazi Holocaust and Khmer Rouge Killing Fields, but they do seem distant and unusual. But the atrocities the Jihadi devils have committed (rarely mentioned in the US media) are happening in real time and show what sociopolitical hatred leads to.
Can it happen here? Violent political rallies, burning cities, college administrations being overthrown—yes, it sure could.

I know, right? I sometimes say the internet is like a peek into the human psyche and once seen it can never be unseen.
