It is known as CIM, Iliamna, (an acronym for "Christian Identity Movement), now commonly called "Christian Identity."
The W***e S*********t, anti-Semitic ideology known in the United States as the "Christian Identity Movement" (CIM), (alternately known as Identity Christianity) is an illegitimate, heretical interpretation of Christianity professing that
only the white skinned race, i.e., the Celtic and Germanic peoples, the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic nations, or Aryan people and people of kindred blood are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and are, therefore, [preposterously] claiming to be the sole legitimate descendants of the ancient Israelites of the Bible.
The origins of the Christian Identity Movement emerged in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s as a bastard offshoot of British Israelism, but with a twist. It is not an organized religion, nor is it affiliated with specific Christian denominations. Its theology is a formerly unknown racial interpretation of Christianity taught by unschooled authors who regarded Europeans as the "chosen people" as did British Israelism, but unlike British Israelism, who professed philo-semitism (love for the Jewish people), and rather than omitting them from being heirs of God's promise, they considered themselves co-heirs with them.
Christian Identity spun this regard for the Jews on its head by denouncing Jews and non-w****s as the cursed offspring of Cain, who they taught was a "serpent hybrid." This perversion of sacred scripture was introduced into Christian Identity theology as the "serpent seed" or the "two-seedline" doctrine which is now independently practiced by approximately 50,000 individuals, independent congregations, and among prison inmates across the United States.
Christian Identity promotes their belief that all non-w****s (people who are not of wholly European descent) will either be exterminated, or they are to be ens***ed in service to the white race, when God's new Heavenly Kingdom materializes upon the Earth under the reign of Jesus Christ. Their doctrine states that only "Adamic" (white) people are eligible to receive salvation and enter paradise.
Christian Identity influential personalities, starting in the 1920s-1930s through today, in its founding and development in the US have been: Howard Rand, William Cameron, Wesley Swift, Bertrand Comparet, Richard Butler, William Potter Gale, James K. Warner, Sheldon Emry, Dave Barley, Pete Peters.
Their Ideology is not Scripturally accurate in any sense. It is h**e filled, Anti-Semitic, r****t, anti-government, and conspiratorial.
Their outreach has been conducted through shortwave radio, churches, pamphlets, tracts, books, and now through the internet, via Web sites.
Their total estimated Membership is 25,000 to 50,000.
I was a webmaster for an online Christian Cult Awareness website in the mid nineties through early 2000s, and automatically seek information when I see abhorrent writings I can't readily identify.
Old habits are hard to break...

I have read it several times over and am involved in a One Year Through the Bible study. Yes, I do study the Bible and you may have read a few verses here and there, but you surely haven't studied it or understood it. Your post sounds like something from the Aryan nation or a n**i Jew-hating anti-semite.
