Thankfully these "people" are becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the American population Ever since the two administrations of G.W. Bush, America’s conservative Christians have become infected with a serious malady; it’s what Vance correctly calls “war fever.” And the evangelical church in America is eaten up with it. And now that we have another Republican warmonger in the White House, war fever has reached epidemic proportions among evangelical Christians. For Christian conservatives to talk about the bloodthirstiness of Muslims is laughable. Islamist jihadists don’t hold a candle to the sheer numbers of innocent people who have been killed (and are daily being killed) by the American empire. At the same time, conservative Christian pastors constantly trumpet more and more war, more and more killing. https://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/3624/Christian-War-Fever.aspx
Cyrus Scofield and Samuel Untermyer sold the futuristic interpretation of Revelation long ago and Evangelicals are solid believers.
You have it backwards. Evangelical christianity is a manifestation of war fever. The evangelical movement didn't exist until the 80s, when Jerry Falwell found that Roe V Wade opened up room to promote the ultimate goal of theocratic fascism by the appealing front-issue of abortion as the nucleus of a reactionary movement, and fascism is ultimately the worship of death. The death cult known as Evangelical Christianity ought not be confused with the Christianity of others.
Who do you think paid for the Scofield heresy which has become so popular with evangelicals, dispensationist, dominionists and fundamentalists? The Granddaddy of Zionists in the US. Learn some history.
7% of wars are down to religion. So 93% of wars are non religious. Stats show that the world is vastly better off eliminating Athesists. https://carm.org/religion-cause-war The book is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Wars-Facts-Library-History/dp/0816028516 People blurt out, "Religion is the main cause of war". *shake head* The knowledge of some people is dire.
Maybe this is why you guys love the Clintons so much https://mobile.twitter.com/ChelseaC.../dailycaller.com/2018/01/03/chelsea-clinton-w
The issue here is that a lot of so called christians are simply hedging their bets for death. Christianity teaches that life on earth is temporary, the afterlife is forever. This is why we see so many christians behaving like complete and total jerks being able to live with themselves. They go home at night and whisper a prayer and all the crappy things thy do is forgiven. They have a fatalistic urge for the world to end so that all those non believers can be "judged" by their religious machinery. The idiot in the white house is just an insecure man child who wants to prove how tough he is.
I find it funny that those who are not religious deem themselves experts on religion, lol. I find those people are out of their depth. Trump is called an "Idiot in the White House" because of sore loser "Corrupt Hillary" supporters. I find it abhorrent that people can call Trump names but support Hillary. Hypocrisy at it's finest. And there's your answer, employ idiots as President, Trump has achieved more in under a year than Obama did in 8 years. Erm, so who's the idiot!!!!!!!!! People that criticize should only do so when they are at a better standard. Hillary and her supporters set a low standard and then failed to achieve that. A bloke in a pub claimed that Hillary only wanted to be President to have an intern perform inappropriate behavior on her to get her own back on her husband. Possibly.
I know things like facts and reason have no effect on the religious but, imagine someone being raised religious and even being sent to religious schools. When they grew up and learned how to be an adult, they realized how stupid and pointless such superstitions are. Religious schools and religious people are the main reason people reject religion. Jesus had a lot of great things to say but, when you realize how many christians just ignore everything he stood for it poses a problem. I realize that superstitious types have to constantly invent reasons to defend their bronze age babbling and why people are less religious than ever but, you're really reaching. I'm going to ignore your crying about hillary because it's just deflection. I wouldn't want to have to defend such idiotic superstitions either.
Zionist Jew Samuel Untermyer. Want to have a look at the neocons behind the Irak war? Wolfowitz, Kissinger, Frum, etc? Not very Christian. Oh Christrian Zionists are good sheep who follow what they're told without asking questions. They're the perfect puppets that can be used and then thrown under the bus like in this thread. But saying they're responsible for the wars is like blaming the average Russian footsoldier for communist crimes.
The Bible is mainly symbolic as opposed to literal. Probably why Atheists find the Bible difficult and why they struggle with the subject. It's moments like this Atheists claim they don't have a belief in a God but deem themselves authoritative on religion, the Bible and how a god should behave. And what's very important, no matter which forum you're on, religious threads are swamped by atheists. Likelies closet Christians. Hillary? Have you read the Oxford University paper on her? Obviously not hence your silly reply. She's a corrupt psychopath.
I thought Christian Zionism came from German puritan teaching Margot, originally Restorationism which was taken up by the Methodists?
Zionist Jews are largely responsible for this. They just use Christians as their dumb little pawns to go after Muslims for them instead of the true enemy..
A common theme from religious apologists, "you just aren't interpreting this superstition the right way." You don't get to pick and choose which parts are BS and which parts are only sort of BS. You don't get to decipher the dusty old book of idiocy because you put money in a pedophile's basket on Sundays. Your interpretation is no more valid than some mope who picks it up for the first time. Closet christians? Do such things exist? I can see how I wouldn't want people knowing I believed in bronze age fairy tales either. If anything keeps people in the closet it christianity and all the crazy it brings into the world.
Ah yes, the time honored "my superstitious cult is superior to your superstitious cult" retort. Very well thought out and illuminating.
I call BS !! Ding Ding Ding .. Lets see some stats on how many were killed by the American empire VS killed by the entire history of islamic conquest jihadists back to 600 AD.. Then try it against china and russia for fun.. Adjust any of them by per capita, lol.. America would look like a saint..
Okay first off anyone who believes their life on earth isn't temporary is an idiot. We all do crappy things and stupid things and things that are just wrong. Christians are, at best, simply more honest with themselves than most in that regard. Even science says the world is going to end. No one living on this planet knows when or how. That being said as far as you are concerned the world ends the minute you die. If there is a God who exists externally to the Universe and this universe's Time Stream, then that judgement is already done because He already knows everything you've ever done and everything you are ever going to do.
