Caleb, based on the first paragraph of the article (below), this group/movement is a fringe movement and therefore not at all part of our precious mainstream orthodoxy. Some may find it important to be informed about this small group of ppl (whom I would NOT consider authentically Christian, given their lack of love for so many ppl), but I don't. Unless they move into my neighborhood! The first paragraph of the article: "Christian Identity" is the name of a religious movement uniting many of the white supremacist groups in the United States. Identity's teachers promote racism and sometimes violence. Their roots are deeply embedded in movements such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Nazis. They consider themselves true Israel and view the Jews as half-devils and arch enemies. They believe all but the white race are inferior creations. Identity's religious views are bizarre and occultic, and their view of history is often informed by conspiracy theories. Identity's use of the name "Christian" to promote racism and violence is blasphemous. Jesus Christ as redeemer of all races is God's supreme answer to Identity's outrageous claims. |
