The Rev. William C. Collier cordially invites you to his three-day Christian conference in Alabama — but only if you’re white.If you haven't figured it out, this appears to be the modern dressed up version of the KKK! Hey, just like their predecessors, they even feature a cross burning. What fun!
Fliers advertising the event titled “Annual Pastors Conference All White Christians Invited,” were reportedly put up during the middle of the night in Winfield early this week. Needless to say, the fliers upset many people, including Mayor Wayne Silas. He said he and Winfield’s residents were outraged by them, and added that the fliers were not representative of their community. The conference is being held in neighboring Lamar County.
“Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this,” Silas said.
The conference, which is currently under way and runs through Friday, will end with a “Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony.”

Do you see WHY more and more people are turning away from Christianity? The fundamentalist version is filled with a lot of hate-filled, self-righteous people. These folks are giving the overall religion a bad name.
What I find truly ironic about a "Whites-Only" conference is that they will spend much of their time worshiping Jesus -- a man who, if he even existed, was NOT white! He was an Arab just like all those Palestinians that fundamentalist Christians revile.
And here's the best part. If Jesus were to come to earth right now and he tried to gain entrance to this conference, they would turn him away solely due to the color of his skin!
These idiots give both Christianity and America a bad name. It pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteI left Christianity for various reasons, mostly because I stopped believing in their "you need to be saved" message. But, while there are racist groups and individuals within Christianity, most churches weren't; and many even among more conservative and evangelical denominations, were actively trying to change and challenge racial prejudice. So I don't fault Christianity as a whole for this pastor's conference or the KKK. I think people who have views like this would work them into whatever faith system they adopt, be it Christianity, Paganism, Atheism, etc.
