And yet those people who used the Bible to justify their bigotry self-identified as Christians and saw themselves as completely compliant with the teachings of Christ.
Who decides who is a real Christian and who is not? God? Does he post this somewhere? Fred Phelps-not a Christian. Barack Obama-Christian. All white supremacists-not Christian.
