A Dose of the REAL Story

[GenuineRisk]

That was hilarious, Timm; thanks for posting it. One doesn't think his ardent sales pitch for Right-wing Christianity has anything to do with Christianists' support for Israel, does one? Oh nooooo....

What I find ironic about the ardently pro-Israel Jewish population aligning itself with the Christianists, is that the Christianists want Israel restored to the Jewish people so that Christ can come back, at which point he'll throw the Jews into eternal damnation for not being Christian, right? So it seems to one standing outside the thing as a sort of, "Here, we'll help you get what you want right now so we can get what we want and if you wind up burning in a lake of hellfire, well, that's not our problem." I guess since the Jews don't believe in Hell, they're happy for the Christians to keep deluding themselves if it means they get Israel, right, and then tough noogies to the Christians when Christ doesn't come back? Can someone explain this to me?

Someone should show this guy a copy of Thomas Jefferson's version of the New Testament, and then listen to him talk about the nation's Christian founders.

Which does not make the church burnings Rupert mentioned any less awful. Here's a link to another one, with a lovely message about how "accomodating" Christianists are to those who don't practice Christianity the way they think it should be practiced. Religious zealotry, of any religion, is baaaaaaad.

((No, Timm; I don't think you're anyting resembling a zealot. I think you're responding with genuine Christian loyalty and kindness to some very angry, unhappy people who misuse religion as an excuse for other agendas)
