British fascists? What does that have to do with Protestant fundamentalism in the US?

British Israelism posits that WASP peoples are the descendants of Israel, Britain and America being the preeminent peoples, descended from Joseph.

British Israelism includes WASP's generally.

But in America it's nothing but a despicable white supremacist cult--Christian Identity.

Christian Identity is anti-Semitic and white supremicist, therefore not British Israelism. Many legitimate movements are infected with radicals wanting to weaponize the ideas, like a boy scout dragging an old lady across the street against her will then declaring it a good deed.

Still, it's kind of a nut-cake business, even in England.

Including indigenous Briton tribes, as well as Saxon and Danish, and later Norman, invaders who clearly took various long and complicated roads from the Bible lands.

There is the "how dare you" aspect. I encounter that all the time in my work.

Science isn't confident of what they believe?

In science, it's not so much about belief as provisional acceptance, and confidence comes in different levels. However, some things are, for all practical purposes, certain - within their known bounds of applicability.

Yes it does.

And this view is about as historically accurate as a warped bow with a soggy string.

Nope, just history, and prophecy.

Yeah, I know your ideas about race.

With neither history nor archaeology to back it up. Why bother with it?

Nope, just reading your posts.

My posts are probably the most misunderstood on the forums.

I doubt if the subject has ever been seriously explored by either secular method.
