re: #690 Salamantis

Here you have completely missed my point in #686, and instead flee back to the No True Scotsman fallacy - in this case, the No True Christian fallacy.

The Editors of Christianity Today showed great moral courage and integrity in accepting the association of Third Reich German Christians with Nazism, and laboring to ensure that such an odious and execrable nexus would not be repeated; that same courage and integrity should be applied by all honest decent Christians of good faith and conscience to the contemporary mutant racist strands of Christianity which I mentioned - and to the Ku Klux Klan, too. After all, they did not hold crescent-burnings.

I’ll admit to not knowing a great deal about Christian Identity. I am somewhat familiar with it - just enough to know that it completely bastardizes Christian doctrine.

This isn’t “No True Scotsman”. An adherent of Christian Identity calling himself a Christian would be analogous to me, a devout, evangelical Christian calling myself a Muslim.

The case of Christians in the Third Reich is a completely different matter.
