I find it more amusing that some Christian groups in America have tossed out the teachings of Jesus and are proclaiming their message of racial superiority or exclusion as “Christian”.

Didn't slavers do the same thing? It's not really that new.

You can find in the "holy" tomes anything you want. People pick and choose. Which, I guess, is somewhat justified since the Abrahamic tomes are self-contradictory in numerous places. Even Jesus was not consistent, at one point telling people he was not bringing peace but a sword. And that's not even covering the psychotic behavior, like cursing a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season.

One of the poisonous things about religion is that it can (and is) used to justify all sorts of horrors.
