Myself, I prefer to leave the reading of what is in someone’s heart to the One who is able to do that, and judge people by their actions.

I do too.

I said before and I should say it again clearly to avoid confusion, that it is obvious that many in the Christian world are genuine friends.

However, I am not talking about a Christian who knows history and has a simple American sense of fair play.

I am talking about the Fundies who see us as vehicle for the End Times as they see it. Those folks truly believe that we all convert to be just like them or go to Hell. They see our mass conversion as the ultimate vindication of their faith, at the end of time, presided over by Jesus himself.

Those folks may support Israel and be kindly disposed to Jews - up to a point.

However, it is also important to remember that when it comes to employing a whole bunch of other traditional Jewish values to the equation, like keeping Church and State separate, promoting education, being pro-science etc… we will and must be at odds.
