Well I don't know what to tell you Mellie but that certainly seems to be The Black Regiment's website. Sorry to pop your bubble.
Which member?
It must be a member or members that really don't get it. It's not just about Christianity and it should never be broken up as the "Christian branch" and "Jewish branch" and "Muslim branch" with three different sites. It should be all of them together. I believe that was the goal on 8/28.

Don't go jumping to conclusions. I'm still curious as to who is in charge of that site.
And weren't you going to tell me about Beck "seething with hatred"?
so find out.
Already did...
You're right. Not all religions. Just the 3 major ones.
The Black Robe Regiment is made up of Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Already on it.
Here ya go Mellie from the same website I linked to earlier:
Divine Destiny - The Black Robe Regiment
Glenn Beck's image is there.
So? His image is all over websites everywhere. I don't think Beck started this site. I bet it was a Christian member of the BRR who doesn't really get it.
Still waiting on the "seething hatred" ....
Think what you want but it is certain that Beck is attracting radical fringe elements of the Christian right wing and in some cases promoting it.
What do you mean by this? Who are they? What do they believe?
And....still not interested in explaining your Rockefeller "seething hatred" comment?

I'm not familiar with that particular case, but Glenn Beck pretty much continuously talks about the evils of liberalism, calls progressivism "a cancer," etc. Have you never watched his show? He compares liberalism to the nazi's regularly. He somehow linked the word compassion to nazi's.
What universe do you live in?
I already posted a part of what that Black Robed Regiment believed. I also posted evidence that they are identifying with Beck.
What's to explain. Beck had a diatribe about Rockfeller.
How are they "fringe religious right-wingers"? I see the radical fringe right in this country as the ones who want to kill abortion doctors/blow up abortion clinics, yell in people's faces about how "God hates gays" and create a theocracy.
It is to be a portal for Christians to communicate and network in order to restore the body of Christ to its rightful position of tolerant leadership in all aspects of our government.
Yes, he did. Now kindly explain how that was "seething hatred". Hatred for who? Hatred for what?
From the BRR website:
That is fairly radical for a secular nation that treats all religions equally.
He hates anything he deems "progressive" and Rockefeller was hardly a progressive.
Agreed. Which is why I said whoever made this website doesn't really get it.
Explain his rant about Rockefeller Plaza because I really don't think you get it.
I give up and I don't think you will ever "get it".
:shrug:
Maybe we can resume this after you've actually looked into what you're talking about.
I've already got my train ticket and hotel reservation!

John Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity
Stephen Colbert's March to Keep Fear Alive
Stewart, Colbert to Hold 10/30 Rallies - Marc Ambinder - Politics - The Atlantic
~snip
It's "Fear!" v. "Simmer Down." Satirists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will hold competing and complimentary marches on Washington just days before the November elections, breaking the fourth wall and inserting themselves directly into the political debate in a way that might influence the November elections.
Appearing on each other's shows tonight, the two men portrayed the 10/30 marches as representing the true divide in American politics: Stewart's march is for people who want to "take it down a notch for America." Colbert's march is about "freaking out for fear," he said, because there are a lot of things to fear. Although Stewart's politics are left of center, his video montage of fear-mongers included Democrats who believe that President Bush was Hitler-esque and radical leftists who believe that 9/11 was an inside job.
Stewart and Colbert have disclaimed any interest in participating in politics. But the timing, and message, are undeniably political -- and not helpful to conservatives. Audiences for both shows tend to be younger and more liberal than the older, conservative independents who watch Fox News. The events were conceived as a response of sorts to Glenn Beck's recent "Restoring Honor" rally, which drew as much as 100,000 conservatives to the Washington mall on the anniversary of Marlin Luther King's historical speech. I'd imagine that these rallies will draw counter-rallies, and that smart conservative folks will try to incorporate them in a way that helps Republicans as well.
Depending on how the media covers the run-up to these rallies, Stewart and Colbert could generate interest and enthusiasm among the type of voters who have so far been turned off by the independent conservative resurgence.
He linked the word compassion to Nazis? Huh?
I agree that the progressive philosophy of big government, more spending, less individual responsibility, more "collective salvation" is a cancer. It's eating us alive as we speak. What universe have you been living in the past several decades?
Do I HATE progressives? Not at all. Do I disagree with their philosophy with every fiber of my being? You betcha. Why does disagreeing have to equal hate?
Calling someone a cancer is hate, and it boggles my mind that you don't see that. He uses the word evil when referring to liberals/progressives. The only reason you don't see it as hate is because you agree with him.
And yes, he actually discussed how the nazi's used the word compassion. LIBERALS talk about compassion too!
I'm pretty convinced that you've never actually watched his show or listened to his radio show.
Honestly why do you keep saying over and over again that the only the left is angry and hate filled? If anything I see more people on the right that are just plain pissed off.
Not agreeing with your viewpoint does not automaticly mean pissed off and hate filled.
They're just going to make fun of people? I don't really get the point of it. Just entertainment?
