They can call themselves anything they want to. The problem is when their days on earth are done. Even the demons believe in God and shudder so that isn't going to do. By hating another of God's children you have I believe cut yourself out of God's Heaven. Let's be real here. Do you really think God is going to let people who hate people for the color of their skin in a place where those brothers and sisters in Christ are residing? I think they are going to be in for a real surprise.

Seriously, they choose what rules they want to follow just like you choose what rules you want to follow. They believe in God and Jesus, and that (though a technicality) makes them Christian.
In no way am I comparing their deeds to sins others commit, but no one actually follows all the rules of the Bible (because you it's impossible due to the fact that there are some contradictions,) and each interpret it their own way. (Some gays feel God will forgive their sin, most people believe God will forgive people who work on Sundays, and the KKK believes any sins they commit in the name of God, he will forgive.) So they have every right to call themselves Christians.

People can call themselves whatever they like, but I know what you mean. If they understood anything about their own leader, they would never belong to a group like the KKK.

Like many dangerous extremists, they pick and choose the passages of the Bible that seem to support their cause and ignore the rest.
People are not inherently evil, so brainwashing people into a group like this requires that they be made to believe that they are warriors for God. Leaders use faith to spur hatred and violence for their own twisted purposes.
That's why so many atrocities throughout history up to today occur in the name of God.

Just because a person calls themselves a christian doesnt mean they are one. There is nothing in the bible about white people being a superior race.

Unfortunately they firmly believe that they way of looking at the universe is the ONLY way to look at it.
This also covers their interruption of the Xian faith - spoiling things for everyone else.

Well, they can't, "truly". But ... wait; the picky side of me says they can "honestly", because in THEIR mind this is honest, it may not be actually TRUE, but in their honest mind they really think it really is true that the way they are is Christian... so, deluded as they are, they are honestly believing it... wrongful as it is...
So, I'm saying a person can honestly believe something even when it's not actually true.

The same way that jihadists can "honestly" call themselves Muslims. Just because you and I know that it doesn't make sense doesn't mean that THEY are capable of seeing it.

Because they honestly believe in the Christ myth.
Why is that a problem?

Any person or group can call themselves anything..it's called freedom of speech. There are no Christian police...that would be unconstitutional. So, we have to wait until the second coming of Christ to sort it all out.
