The Army of God is an underground network of terrorists who believe that the use of violence is an appropriate tool for fighting against abortion.  An excerpt from the Army of God Manual says that the Army of God "is a real Army, and God is the General and Commander-in-Chief.  The soldiers, however, do not usually communicate with one another. Very few have ever met each other.  And when they do, each is usually unaware of the other's soldier status.  That is why the Feds will never stop this Army.  Never.  And we have not yet even begun to fight."  Pastor Michael Bray is the Chaplain of the Army of God.  He hosts the annual "White Rose Banquet" honoring those imprisoned for anti-abortion violence. He also wrote the book "A Time to Kill," which provides a biblical justification for the use of violence against abortion providers. Bray has served time in jail for bombing abortion clinics.  Bray's daughter is named after a murderer of an abortion doctor.<p><p><p>The Army of God manual is a "how to" for abortion clinic violence.  It details methods for blockading entrances, attacking with butyric acid, arson, bomb making, and other illegal activities.  The manual contains anti-abortion language as well as anti-government and anti-gay/lesbian language.  The manual begins with a declaration of war on the abortion industry and continues, "Our Most Dread Sovereign Lord God requires that whosoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.  Not out of hatred of you, but out of love for the persons you exterminate, we are forced to take arms against you. Our life for yours - a simple equation....You shall not be tortured at our hands. Vengeance belongs to God only.  However, execution is rarely gentle."<p><p><p>Several Army of God members have been involved in highly publicized incidents of terrorism.  Eric Robert Rudolph was charged with the Atlanta Olympic bombing, as well as the bombings of an abortion clinic and a gay bar in Atlanta.   Secondary bombs, designed to detonate after emergency service personnel arrived at the scene, were planted at both the abortion clinic and the gay bar.  Another Army of God member, James Kopp, was convicted in the fatal shooting of clinic doctor Dr. Barnett Slepian in 1998.  Kopp is believed to be connected with a half dozen other similar shootings that took place between 1994 and 1997.  Clayton Waagner, the man who has claimed responsibility for sending over 550 anthrax threat letters to clinics in 2001, signed many of his threat letters with the name Army of God.  He also posted threats to kill 42 individuals working at abortion clinics on the Army of God website.
