not many fundamentalist Christians are going to be interested in Icke. There are some, due to the fact that fundamentalism doesn't totally cover the themes David covers. They can get that here.
But I think you have a problem with Christianity. "Jesus died for our sins" means different things to different Christians.

About 2 years ago, I purchased an MP3 disc with litterally 100's of hours of radio interviews featuring David Icke. Honestly,, I listened to those interviews many many times. Not once did I get the impression that Icke held some of the views he apparently presents at his seminars.
In fact,, I said to myself, "This guy is close. He's real close." It was those religious experiences he had in South America and the transformation that he described that could only be described as religious in nature. (So what if he didn't see angels and the glory of heaven! It's still one of the "Varieties of Religious Experience").
His rejection of religion is an athema, if you ask me. It doesn't make sense. I believe it is hold over from his upbringing and training. I mean he does respect Shamanism and Ramana,, which is religion. Doesn't make sense.

Oh I know, I knew a guy years agon who was well into distrust of masons, illuminati, vatican, zionists, the media, satanic abuse. Yet this guy was an "fundamentalist" evangelical christian with old fashioned moral values and a literal belief in the bible.

Christ himself was against organized religion and all forms of moneyhandling.
Christ himself would listen to and appreciate David Icke.
Christ himself would most likely have been crucified by Christians at this point in history - because the Christian and Catholic foundation is based on organization and money handling.
Christ himself would be an icke fan.

Icke supporter.
I believe Icke shares a lot of valid information but he's not always right. I also believe that Christianity as a whole is interpreted incorrectly by pastors, priests and celebrants and that the 'religion' is not the truth. :)
I don't think Christ would be an Icke fan. Christ would not be a 'fan' of anything lol.

Another thing that confuses me is, Icke and his fans say that people should be free to have any kind of sexual life they choose, and TPTB want us "trapped" in regular family and judge people who don't do the same. Yet some Christian and conservative conspiracy people, say TPTB want us to sleep around and they are trying to undermine the traditional family, which is the correct way to live. Personally, I'll be down with the Icke version even if I choose monogamy for myself.

I've been felling hostile/uncaring toward Christianity for the past few months, but I saw something on TV that made me thaw. It was a documentary about Noventhree, the boy in malaysia who had a huge tumor on his face and had to have loads of operations to try and get rid of it, untill he eventually died at around age 8. His family were devout Christians and their faith in the documentary really touched me.

People dislike Christians because they dislike totalitarianism.
Totalitarian Christians may believe that everyone is going to hell, that everyone must declare Christ their lord and must believe that Christ died on the cross literally transforming the world etc.
Totalitarian Christians are in the majority and are an easy target.
There are still millions of other Christians who believe nothing except the principles taught by Christ. Most everything else is conjecture and political laws from the Old Testament.
Christians who understand this are far more likely to enjoy David Icke. Not just listen, but actually enjoy his work.

In my opinion, "Religion" is just the suppression of real spirituality. Religion is based on seperatism whereas spirituality is based on oneness.
In other words, the word "Religion" is really an expression of restriction of spiritual awareness. Spirituality doesn't have an opinion, it just "IS".

Depends on what you mean by "Christian".
What one person thinks of as Christianity is the complete opposite of what someone else who is steeped in religion, might think of Christianity. Because authentic "Christianity' looks nothing like what the present day "religion' and "man rules and regulations" type of Christianity looks like.

You've hit upon the intellectual juncture in the road where it dawns on most sane people who get there to go with what they think is right for them and not on what anyone else tells them that they should do.
Not only that - but also that they shouldn't really feel too concerned or react if others disagree with how they choose to live their lives.
At last count 9,945 threads on this forum were solely dedicated to a stubborn refusal to grasp those simple points.

Exactly.
One can reconcile the Christian "right way" with the Ickian position by differentiating "law" from law enforcement.
I have chosen what I consider to be the "right" way - monogamy within the Christian sacrament of Holy Matrimony - but I absolutely do not agree with restricting another's freedom to live their chosen way either.
Only by experimenting, and making mistakes, do we discover what is the "right way" for ourselves.
Enforced Christianity is fake Christianity.
True Christianity is absolute freedom ("the truth shall make you free...")
And if so, how they reconcile the two belief systems? Icke doesn't believe Jesus died for our sins, but that he was a volunteer conciousness?
I am not exactly an Icke fan or suporter, i do however agree with many of his views, hence i am here.
I am Orthodox Christian and as such i can't agree with some of his views particularly the ones concerning religion.
I don't have to 'reconcile' with anything as i have made my choices and drawn my conclusions on the matter.
Additionally, i dont believe Jesus is 'an Icke ' supporter ( hehe pretty funny , is like in southpark :D )

Pretty much everything he says contradicts the traditional evangelical Christianity I grew up with.
As for "original Christianity", I don't know what the truth is. Books from the mainstream Christian world say that the Gnostics were mislead, their gospels were obviously untrue and the council of Nicea simply confirmed what true Christians had considered scripture for years. Books from the more pro-gnostic/"new age" viewpoint say the opposite - that Constantine and the apostle Paul's version stifled the real Jesus. After reading two opposing sets of books, I don't know which ones to believe.

Are you in Amerika?
You couldn't have grown up with traditional evangelical Christianity unless you are 2,000 years old, and none of what Icke says (that I've seen) contradicts that.
You must be speaking of the modern, so-called, Christian evangelists -
fundamentalist, neo-con, NWO, illuminazi, zionist, fakes.
As for "original Christianity", I don't know what the truth is. Books from the mainstream Christian world say that the Gnostics were mislead,
If the fakes say the gnostics were mislead,
then the truth must be...
Put away your conflicting books.
Go to the source -

I cant remember what Icke says about this but I would say that Christ didnt die for our sins. He spoke the truth and lived the truth, and if that meant he had to die, then he was prepared to do it. We all need to take a leaf out of that book. (I'm not religious btw). i dont mean that we should die for telling the truth, I mean that we should live the truth no matter what the consequences are.

In "The truth will set you free", "the robots rebellion" and "heal the world" , the only 3 Icke books I have read from cover to cover, in all 3 books Icke says that Jesus was a volunteer consiousness who was executed for what he said againts the establishment, but he did not die as a sacrifice for our sins. In fact, Icke says he didn't die at all, but survived the cross and faked his death (a story I have read in other "new age" books also.)

I don't understand what is meant by "volunteer consciousness,"
nor do I know what one means when they say "died for our sins."
Neither of these are very clear without explanation and could, in fact, be taken to mean the same thing.
As far as I'm concerned, and through my Christian experience, Jesus has paid my karmic debt through his suffering (not death; - death is not a punishment but a relief from suffering!).
I'm not sure if David would disagree with this.

"I'm not sure if David would disagree with this. "
Based on the 3 Icke books I have, I am pretty sure he would disagree with it. Like you said the wording in the Icke books is hard to understand, the wording is translations of the bible are hard to understand. Your interpretation of them may be different to mine. Icke says in RR that the idea that Jesus had to suffer as a sacrifice for people's sins is ridicilous to him. AS far as I can make out Icke believes that Jesus' sole aim on Earth was to teach people about spirituality. I personally think this contradicts your and other Christian's beliefs.
"I don't understand what is meant by "volunteer consciousness,"
If you want to know more I suggest you read any of Icke's books, where he talks at length on the subject!

I don't have any beliefs - and I don't think David does either.
We both go by our experiences, and the resulting knowledge.
If he has experienced the Christ force as spiritual teacher, that's fine.
It doesn't contradict my experience.
Why should he "believe" that my experience is any less valid?
It doesn't contradict his.
If he actually thinks that because he has one experience of Christ it is the only right one, and all others are wrong, he is making the same stupid mistake that mainstream, sectarian, churchgoing "Christians" make - and it is them that we both criticise for doing that very thing!

I don't think he thinks all other experiences of Christ are wrong, just the one where he suffers for our wrongdoings. He says the apostle Paul was decieved by a negative alien claiming to be Christ. Thus Pauline Christians who read the new testament after the gospels are following the negative influence of this alien.
As far as I can gather Icke believes that everyone has the right to believe what they like, but that doesn't mean he won't tell them that they're wrong.

Could be.
That would explain why the organised "church" follows practices contrary to Christ's teachings.
As far as I can gather Icke believes that everyone has the right to believe what they like, but that doesn't mean he won't tell them that they're wrong.
As I said, I dont have any beliefs.
Jesus suffered - fact which David accepts.
He did not deserve it - another fact.
So, then, his suffering created karmic credit.
I have experienced the effect of claiming that, and my karmic debt being wiped off the slate.
Perhaps you are putting the cart before the horse.
Perhaps he didn't "suffer for our wrongdoings" in the sense that he intentionally placed himself in that position by willing it to happen.
He just did and said what was right and got beat up for it.
Our being able to claim that karmic credit is retrospective, not premeditative.
Now, does that reconcile with David's views?

"Now, does that reconcile with David's views? "
In my opinion, no, but that's just my interpretation of Icke's words and the feeling I get from them. You don't have to agree with me. I'm not married to my views - I came here to learn, I may be wrong about a lot of things. If I read a post that convinces me to change my opinions, I will.
I have seen Icke use the phases "my beliefs", "I believe" etc many times. I personally am not a fan of arguing about semantics. I think the english language is limited and has words which are inadequate to describe somethings. I was not comfortable with using the phases "evangelical" or "new age" to describe the worlds I have been a part of in the past, but I needed to communicate my story clearly, and those were the best terms I knew to explain to people. Unless I spent pages adding qualifiers like "what most people in the western world today would call the evangelical church..." Thats why I don't like arguing about semantics. I don't see the point in adding loads of qualifiers, as long as you are communicating clearly. It will turn out wrong in places, because language is limited.

You used "evangelical" to mean the Victorian, English church.
Why didn't you say "Victorian, English church" (which was anything but evangelical, and I've never heard anyone claim that it was)?

Well, any set of people are subservient to a faith, every single person here shares the 'belief' that brought us here. And if we are all 'infinite consciousness', is that not too, a group? Belonging to a group is not a dirty word.
Christ taught us how to connect to our Creator without dealing with religious leaders and organisations, so how am I subservient to them?

I get the feeling that any evidence or quotes I give to support my view will be dishonstly taken out of context, or if he can't do that he'll simply say I've lied about it. No one has to "trawl through big books" to get to Icke's views on Jesus - they all have an index section at the end. I feel like I've been treated unfairly, to be honest. I feel like the points I've made have been treated dishonestly, because he doesn't care about the truth, just about "proving me wrong".
It's a shame, because i like Phildee. I just think he gets too bitchy and takes it too personally when people disagree with him.

Right -
I just read through that chapter.
My views are essentially compatible with David's.
I see no conflict, there, with Christ's teachings (which I call original Christianity),
but both of us have the same gripe with Pauline Christianity (which he calls "Christianity" throughout the book and I call "fake Christianity").
What you understand Christianity to be is what David understands it to be - ie. the belief system started by Paul.
David has no word for the spiritual path of an adherent to Christ's teachings
although there were many disciples of his before Paul.
I call this "true Christianity."
This is my religion
and it does not conflict with David Icke's views.

i believe jesus was anti establishment..a guru and prophet...who planned to leave a legacy to raise people to christ consciousness through his teachings and devotees....
but this idea was highjacked by the church of rome and the the rest is history
I believe the same. I guess I am a Christian since I believe in the real teachings of Jesus.

Right -
I just read through that chapter.
My views are essentially compatible with David's.
I see no conflict, there, with Christ's teachings (which I call original Christianity),
but both of us have the same gripe with Pauline Christianity (which he calls "Christianity" throughout the book and I call "fake Christianity").
What you understand Christianity to be is what David understands it to be - ie. the belief system started by Paul.
David has no word for the spiritual path of an adherent to Christ's teachings
although there were many disciples of his before Paul.
I call this "true Christianity."
This is my religion
and it does not conflict with David Icke's views.
I am interested in how the idea of Jesus as paying a karmic debt fits in with pre pauline Christiaity. And when you are capable of speaking politlely, without descending into bitchy rudeness when someone has a point of view different to yours, or creating straw man arguements, I will try to discuss it with you.

Well I believe along similar lines except there was no man called Jesus they corrupted the name of the guy doing the preaching because that is what Satanist do. They corrupted astrology from 13 signs of the zodiac to twelve, they changed the Julian calender to the gregorian calender and they change their own names at the drop of a hat.

What if all religions are off shoots of earlier religons that's what Icke writes about, and is prob the truth.
