"(Fischer) tithed to the Worldwide Church of God, a fringe church he had become involved with beginning in the early 1960’s. The church followed Hebrew dietary laws and Sabbath proscriptions and believed in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. For a time, Mr. Fischer lived in Pasadena, Calif., the church’s home base, or nearby Los Angeles, where he was said to spend his time replaying chess games and reading Nazi literature. --- "On Sept. 11, 2001, he told a radio talk-show host in Baguio, the Philippines, that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were “wonderful news,” adding he was wishing for a scenario “where the country will be taken over by the military, they’ll close down all the synagogues, arrest all the Jews and secure hundreds of thousands of Jewish ringleaders.”
in defense of the church... a statement from the the lutheran church of bavaria in nov. of 1998,"It is imperative for the Lutheran Church, which knows itself to be indebted to the work and tradition of Martin Luther, to take seriously also his anti-Jewish utterances, to acknowledge their theological function, and to reflect on their consequences. It has to distance itself from every [expression of] anti-Judaism in Lutheran theology."

I like you Keith.
I thought Luther was a big equal rights affirmative action kind of guy. Wasn't there a big rally in D.C.? I'm confused.
Wasn't he the guy that tried to kill superman?
Didn't he sing this song with that fat girl who likes butterflies.
