I've been following along for awhile now and as you might know from some of my previous posts I do not countenance racism masquerading as Christianity one bit. I am however interested in why you think it's wrong. It seems you do not place any confidence in ancient writings but one that is a couple of hundred years old is somehow authoritative.

"If a religion believed in killing others, the First Amendment would not allow it."

What if the first amendment did allow killing? After all if we can make up arbitrary rules why couldn't the Nazi's. Don't take me wrong, I'm not spoiling for a fight, I really am interested in your answer.

"This is a reform religion, not firmly rooted in an orthodoxy of beliefs."

As a gardener I notice anything that is not firmly rooted tends to wash away or blow over at the first test. Why should philosophical roots be any different?

Have a good day
Greg
