I've never met right-wingers who were as openly racist as the ones I found on Voat and now Poal.

And I grew up in a very conservative household, went to a conservative church believed the Bible was inerrant and all that. I grew up in a conservative Christian community, and know many many people who are conservative Christians who are against racism. They are against racism because they believe it is against the Bible's teachings.

Then I go exploring online after seeing censorship on Reddit, and find outright racists who believe that black people are inferior and that the Jews are the reason for all the problems in the world.

I am trying to understand this group of people. Many of them seem non-Christian or atheist, but some self-identify as Christian.

I have a few questions:

  • Do you call yourself a Christian?
  • How many of you go to churches that believe/are fine with outright racism?
  • Do you simply hide your beliefs really well, mostly live in the South/areas where it is accepted, etc.?
  • Did you grow up with these beliefs, or did your ideas change later in life?

Thanks.

I'm a Christian. I don't attend any church since I cannot find one that has not abandoned the Scriptures. I believe millenia of depravity in what was rightly termed Darkest Africa has left its mark in the genome of the Children of Ham. I'm willing to give individuals a chance but I'm not blind to statistical trends in factors such as IQ and predilection towards violence.

As for the JQ, just stick around and read a while and you'll see enough to make an informed decision for yourself.

"that has not abandoned the Scriptures." I get mail from a fundamentalist church that believes in homeschooling because public school is indoctrination, and they believe only in the KJV. This is close to my beliefs, but I'm surprised you're not able to find a church you like (I'm not in the South btw).

I know of some that I am in agreement with, but they all require the signing of Church covenants and by-laws in order to be a full member and I don't believe anything other than letting our yes be a yes and testing each other in the Scriptures is acceptable.
