The left behind series and the RW Christians...SCARY!!!!

[LittleApple81]

Anybody watch 60 minutes II today? These people look scary, act scary, and say that liberals have created the image of a wimpy Jesus... and they say if they would get a cut they would bleed red, white, and blue. And they sell millions and millions of books, look like snake-oil salesman...
Sorry to say, but this country is going backwards in the road towards evolution.

2. Left Behind=Right Behind

The far right, Jesus-confiscating, readers of the Left Behind apostasy money making machine are so mixed up in their love/hate Republican/Military-Industrial Complex induced realtionship with Israel that they think that Jews are Christians now evidently.

TRANSLATION - The conservative people who mix religion and politics often promote the idea that they are the only true followers of Jesus Christ and that their faith in Him is the only respected way to believe.

One characterization of that type is their devotion to the Evangelical interpretation of the book of Revelation, which I personally see as apostasy. This Evangelical belief is shared by about 40% of professed American Christians and has been a huge money maker for the authors of the Left Behind series.

The leaders of this movement include people like Pat Robertson who has made statements alluding to his belief in secret Jewish cabals while at the same time courting favor with the political leaders of Israel. Many Evangelicals also believe that the modern political state of Israel plays a major role in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. this religious belief is now coloring American government policy like never before.

The rationale behind American support of Israel is not limited to religious reasons and for many years has been heavily promoted by US Defense companies. The majority of US aid to Israel is made in the form of weapons paid for by Americam tax dollars. The defense companies lobby constantly for continued support for Israel simply because Israel is such a huge market for their weapons.
