Ausodor made it clear he was talking about fringe Evangelicals

So the sentence: “what it is that would make any Jew cozy up to Evangelical Christians whose only aim is to see them all betrayed by the Anti-Christ and then die horribly” is clearly talking about the fringe?

If “fringe” is supposed to be assumed (and I think you are make a stretch Mr. Fantastic would be proud of) the the whole post is a straw man. There is no significant number of Jews cozying up to FRINGE evangelical Christians.

Certainly the idea that someday Jewish lives may some day depend on knowing this about FRINGE evangelical Christians makes no sense what so ever.

Similarly, if someone believes homosexuality is a sin that will send unrepentant homosexuals to hell, they may be full of sorrow and grief at that, but it it is still a bigoted position and a gay person would be a fool to ‘cozy up’ to anyone holding that view.

To make that example relevant you would have to say if someone who is part of a religion believes homosexuality is a sin that will send unrepentant homosexuals to hell, a gay person would be a fool to ‘cozy up’ to anyone who is part of that same religion holding that view.

Do you understand that you can’t judge everyone who is part of one religion by their religion? You say “Not all evangelical Christians have anything like that desire”, but do you believe it? Would you tell Ausodor that? Would you be offended by by people who have the opposite view?
