comma in your link, noob. :v:

But this, by your description, is a good idea with a solid foundation.

e- People NEED group identity, whether they want to admit it or not. If these poo poo soup people are their only one, well, maybe a prosthetic is needed.

I'm all for support groups. Yes, they replace a desire to belong in one context, with a desire to belong in another context (i.e AA replaces being addicted to alcohol with being addicted to going to meetings). However, it's a lot more constructive to belong to a group like this.

Likening it to an addiction group is a bit silly, in my own opinion. Every human person needs to belong to a group, if only in their own mind. This is our literal programming. People, and we have seen quite a bit of young people, sort of flocking to this alt-reich bullshit. Young people, people who are still weighing out where they want to stand in life. The young crave something to belong to, and rightly so. Richard Spencer, Milo, all these pricks saw that and acted, whether they knew or not what exactly they were doing. I mean isn't the facebook term 'followers?'

I think this .org you posted is nothing but good, FYI.

Evangelicals might be the largest single group of Christians

Well they aren't particularly a group. They are more distinct than "Protestant", but there is still divide between Evangelical groups. The single largest group is now and probably always will be Catholics. There's nearly as many Catholics as all Evangelicals, period, but they wildly outnumber any particular Evangelical group like Baptists or Pentecostals. It can be useful to talk about Evangelicals, because there are certainly trends with them, but it doesn't follow that black Baptist churches are preaching the same thing as some Prosperity Gospel death cult.

Lovecraft married a Jewish woman (he would have probably used 'jewess'.)

The founder of either Storm Front or the Daily Stormer is married to a Jewish woman and it caused commotion within their lovely community when it leaked.

Agreed. I didn't disaggregate enough when I said Evangelicals. I still stand by the idea that white Southern Baptist Evangelicals are a huge group that's in the bag for the Trump in an embarrassing way, and this is something for any Christian to really reflect on.

The number of times Nazis have murdered other Nazis over perceived or real impurities is... not small. I hope Baked Alaska realizes how this is going to shake out in the long run.

Yeah, but imagine Ted Cruz's greasy face as he's about to climax. Just slick and dripping with a thick sheen of oil (both natural and whatever he ingests from the Texas atmosphere). Beady eyes focused, mouth somewhat slack.
