Hiding Behind a Cross

In case you can't read the text in the picture it says:

"Stay firm in your convictions. Keep loving your heritage and keep witnessing to others that there is a better way than a war torn, violent, wicked, socialist, new world order. That way is the Christian way - law and order - love of family - love of nation. These are the principles of western Christian civilization. There is a war to destroy these things. Pray that our people see the error of their ways and regain a sense of loyalty. Repent America! Be faithful my fellow believers. "
National Director of The Knights, Pastor Thomas Robb

Yes indeed. The National Director of The Knights...(that would be the KKK), PASTOR Thomas Robb. 

I stumbled upon the KKK website while looking for a photo. I was floored to read this just under the banner of their page: 

"Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America! A Message of Love NOT Hate!"

The sad thing is if you didn't know that PASTOR Robb was the National Director of the KKK, you would think he was just any other right (or is it white?) wing pastor. If the word "white" was removed from the message above, it would be appropriate on any website belonging to a christian church. 

 "Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to Christian America! A Message of Love NOT Hate!" (Love the sinner, hate the sin?)

The rhetoric in "Pastor" Robb's message are those we here from the radical right every day. "Love of Family" "Love of Nation" "The Christian Way". God, guns, and guts. Family values. A war to destroy Western Christian Civilization. 

When your belief system is so easily paralleled with the KKK, I think its time you really reconsider your position. And I REALLY believe its time to stop hiding behind the cross. The image you see above was created by merging a cross that had been created to combat the equality sign and a typical KKK symbol. When one is easily mistaken for another, I'd step out from behind that cross and wonder what the hell became of the message of Jesus Christ.
