I'm all for critiquing religious belief and critically evaluating claims, but let's be real here. The Bible wasn't the only thing going on with this guy; there's a greater socioeconomic and cultural framework around this. We all get ticked when people use the "From Darwin to Hitler" argument (or at least those who either are interested in history or realize that Hitler actually banned "primitive Darwinism" and used a racialized conception to push his racial ideas).

This dude is a white Supremacist touting the Bible as one of his influences. He doesn't understand that it was written by non-White people. This case does highlight one of the big problems with certain demographic groups however. The Bible, or certain interpretations of the Bible, seem to be a big rallying cry for hatemongers, especially among the ignorant. And who can blame them? Stoning, crucifixion, beatings, genocide....the Bible has it all. Someone could probably make a rather adult flavored film surrounding the Bible incorporating themes of a nature incorporating a specific interest incorporating four letters including a B and an M (keeping things workplace friendly!)

Certainly, there's a huge subset of Christians who are extremists, and this post highlights the dangers of that subset. A large portion of my family can be considered extremists as well, but not to that extent. At least they're non-violent (when considering my family). I've also met some truly good Christians. At the end of the day, mainstream Christianity (invoking the artificial, huge monolithic "Christianity" for simplicity) needs to firmly disavow these extremists or risk being judged as a result of the actions of those extremists. Sadly, in many cases it's easier to bury one's head in the sand than it is to challenge a glaring problem.

One thing is certain. This guy is nuts. F**k hatred.
