I agree with you, no one has the right to say what someone else believes. Hitler said he was a Christian, therefore he was a Christian.

This question is fun.
It is true that the belief of Christianity is a requirement to join the KKK. But you must remember the reason the Klan was created was to restore order after blacks were freed. They did not do this because God told them too, they did it to restore a way of life that was taken from them. They then turned to the Bible to justify their criminal behavior.
However, because their beliefs stem from a politcal agenda rather than a religous one they are not a Christian based organization.
KKK people are definately not the most stable of people, but when looking at them you have to keep in mind that they did not spring up immeadiately in cities. They started in rural areas where literacy and culture came from your family and the Bible. So if grandpa tells you hanging somoen is okay, then shows you in the bible why it is so, you go along with it.

They also had to be prominent people in their community. Just because you say you are a christian does not mean you are a Christian. There are a lot of people that judge others and are mean, like the KKK and that is not of God. That is a sin and you can not say that you do it because you are a Christian. It is kinda like all those mothers that say God told them to kill their children- it is crap. God does not condone any behavior of the sort.
The KKK was a long time ago when beliefs were different, and they were in southern states where they hated anyone that was not white. You can't compare what they did to Christians these days.

The KKK are not Christians. They do not love one another. They judge people. They hate people. They kill and harass people. In no way are any of these Christian qualities. They may try to say they are Christian but it is a lie.

>>any organization that requires you to be part of a certian group before you are admitted into the organization usually is oart of that certain group.<<
That's not necessarily true. For example, a cancer ward might require new admissions to belong to the "group" of cancer patients, but that doesn't mean the ward is part of some organized group called Cancer Patients.

I don't determine the beliefs and affiliations of others, but I'm literate and posses critical thinking skills. The fundamental principles of the KKK contradict the teachings of the Bible. They're misguided, and if any of them DO get into Heaven, it'll prove just how merciful God really is.

One fact I can state as utterly true, just a claim of being a Christian does not a Christian make.
No matter if they think they are or not, no practicing Christian who understands the command to Love one another would ever join a group that promotes hatred and murder in the name of GOD.

i urge to variety with you. KKK is an earthly corporation marching less than the faux banner of Christianity. not one of the large depending Christian denomination declare any area of the KKK in actuality reject it as a artwork of the devil. that's applications are completely non-Christian. God isn't any respecter of persons, he will have the rain fall on the best or undesirable, storms spoil the best or undesirable, organic failures kill the best o undesirable. he's thoroughly adversarial to racial, cultural, non secular discrimination. the only purpose of the KKK is to promote the occurrence of the White race as replaced into the Nazi social gathering a superior guy form. both were incorrect. As a Christian, i'm in my opinion appalled with the help of the very theory that some so-called-Christian ought to recommend upon himself the righteousness of burning yet another faith's sacred books. i'm repulsed with the help of such questioning and such acts of intolerance. We lost a huge chew of historic previous even as the monks that said the Spanish explorers into Mayan cities destroying the Cortex of those people. Such replaced into their progression we purely ought to have discovered helpful classes. God is totally able to controlling the spread of faux doctrine, we are warned to word, now to not spoil. that's God's chosen duty. i'd dare wish that an recommended Black or Jewish custom ought to sense a lot as I do. all of us opt to analyze our real causes that set off our movements. searching for means or status making use of our ameliorations to receive such desires to be positioned down. the wider embody of guys being equivalent with opportunities to fulfill our means is a a procedures extra valuable way of humanitarianism, not destruction of alternative techniques.

The Klan considers itself Christian, using a burning cross to "Illuminate (bring whiteness) the world", but they also use skewed Bible translations to justify their beliefs that Minorities and Hebrews are not Human Beings. Therefore, you could say that they are a Christian Based org, but theyve got the whole thing wrong.

They are not Christians.
A true Christian tries to follow the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ.
The KKK does not follow the teachings of Christ.
I do not determine somebody'e beliefs. They do by the demonstration of their actions.

A Christian is someone who is Christ-like. Christ was kind and loved everyone. So how could someone who is a part of a group with so much hate be a true Christian? Its just not possible.
