re: #548 Walter L. Newton

So, your ok with the fact that Evangelical Christians support for a POLITICAL state is based on a theology, a theology that in short teaches that the “state” will eventually disappear and live under a “Jesus” (or god, there’s that bothersome trinity thing again) based theocracy.

You think we should reject Evangelical support for Israel because of their eschatology? I don’t think we can afford to make that distinction.

Whatever their beliefs of a future are, how does that affect the here and now?

IMO, Evangelical support of Israel because of some beliefs in a future apocalypse over which they have no control is benign. Euro-fascist support of Israel because of their beliefs (from Arab propaganda) that Israel is some kind of racist apartheid state, is not the kind of support that Israel should accept.
