Alabama Pastor Holds ‘Whites Only’ Conference
By Annie-Rose Strasser on Jul 5, 2012 at 9:23 am


...........................

Collier’s Alabama town is outraged over the flyer for his pastors’ conference, which specifies “All White Christians Invited.” The town’s mayor is renouncing the Reverend, saying that such hate speech is unwelcome in the town. But Collier defended the flyer this week, saying that he isn’t a racist — just that “the white race is God’s chosen people”:

The organizer of the event, Rev. William C. Collier says that his Church of God’s Chosen (Christian Identity Ministries) is not a hate group but adds that he believes “the white race is God’s chosen people.”

Collier defends why only white Christians are invited.

“We don’t have the facilities to accommodate other people. We haven’t got any invitations to black, Muslim events. Of course we are not invited to Jewish events and stuff,” Collier said.

4. Someone needs to tell these idiots that

Jesus wasn't white, and neither were any of his contemporary followers, apostles and disciples. And he didn't speak English, either!!!

[HopeHoops]

8. Oh bullshit. Jesus was lily white with blonde hair and blue eyes. Everyone knows THAT!

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Yup. Indisputable . . . .

[HopeHoops]

14. "That ain't Jesus. He ain't gots no blonde hair an blue eyes. Woman, get me another beer."

[coalition_unwilling]

16. "If English was good enough for Jesus, it ought to be good enough for

the rest of us."

Attributed (probably apocryphally) to the late Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina.

7. "christian identity"

is white supremacist stuff (think Aryan nation). Calling it a "pastor's conference" really doesn't change that it is a kkk meeting.

10. At least this guy is honest about his racism

Unlike most GOP candidates & politicians who claim they aren't racist and yet do all they can do vote against programs and bills that could help minorities.

BTW, who wants to inform this pastor that Jesus wasn't a white man

[yellowcanine]

13. No, actually he isn't. He says he "isn't a racist" and then spews a racist thought.

'But Collier defended the flyer this week, saying that he isn’t a racist — just that “the white race is God’s chosen people”:'

Nothing "honest" about that.

[yellowcanine]

11. "We don’t have the facilities to accommodate other people"

Black people, Muslims, Jews don't use the same kinds of "facilities"???? Who knew?

I guess that dark skinned Jewish guy Jesus is not invited then either. Just as well.

[COLGATE4]

15. It means that we don't have separate

bathrooms and water fountains for all those 'others'.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Well, here's the SPLC's essay on 'Christian Identity '.

29. Wow. That is truly bizarre.

Yuck. Despicable people!

[Bake]

17. I can't wait until these Christians get to the pearly gates and hear

"Depart from me, I never knew you." These people know nothing about Christ or the Gospel. Par for the course.

Rot in Hell. No expletives necessary.

20 more years and nature will take care a lot of these loser prick bastards that want to go back to the 40's and 50's

Can anyone imagine LIVING like this?

Hope they'll enjoy the hell out of their "superiority." It must be a tremendous responsibility being better than the rest of the world.

24. They are closing with a "Sacred Christian Cross Lighting Ceremony"?

Yeehaw.

[dtom67]

25. Wow...

9p.m. Sacred Christian Cross lighting Ceremony ???????

We better tell Mitt right away so he can weigh in on how its a "cross burning " in Alabama but its a Lighting Ceremony in Mass.

Hopefully, someday, this ignorant shit will die off.....

[nobodyspecial]

28. No kidding

Do they wear their sacred white robes and pointed hoods as well?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

21. If Heaven isn't "Whites Only" would he still want to go?

Or will that even be an option?

[KansDem]

27. "Whites Only" heaven means...

...you enter through the front pearly gates.

22. Seriously - what decade does this jackass live in - 2012 or 1856?

30. OK, I'm a Protestant but I would RUN not walk from these misinterpreters of God's will

OK, I'm a Protestant but I would RUN not walk from these misinterpreters of God's will.

Where in the Bible did he find out that white people were God's chosen people? Does he not know of the Abrahamic covenant where God promised the then named Abram that he would give him so many offspring counting them would be like counting the grains of sand. Please note, God did this twice, one time was sand, the other time was the number of stars, I might have the order backwards.

This race of people were Semitic and were the offspring of the now renamed Abraham's (Abram to Abraham) second son, Isaac; this is the son God promised Abram, this race became the Jews. Abraham's first son when his wife tried to move things along by having him have a child of his slave, Hagar. This boy's name was Ishmael and founded the Arab race. Neither of these two races are white. Jesus was not blond or blue eyed. The Jews are God's chosen people, it doesn't get much simpler.

Hating pastors like this whackjob just can't accept it. I don't understand the poster in the image above, only white Christians invited? There aren't any black, asian or any other race of Christians? I bet if they tithed 10%, he'd accept their money while hypocritically damning them. This is why I hate organized religions. Any religion where they require a middle man for you to talk to God or Jesus, are not Godly, they follow their own rules to their eternal ruin. I just hope God exempts the followers of these non-inclusive religions and allows them into glory.

If Jesus had never had the Apostles go to the Gentiles (mainly Paul but Peter was part of it), then us Gentiles would not have a path to God.
