The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dissatisfaction among Jews with the position of the most leftward part of the Democratic coalition isn't going to get them to move to the party that promotes the idea of the US as a Christian nation.

Exactly.

As mentioned in prior threads, it is highly likely that Americans of Jewish faith eye with GREAT suspicion the motivations of all the support right-wing so-called Christians offer for the state of Israel. They understand very well that for many far-right evangelical "Christians", their prophesies of the battle of Armageddon and the Rapture to follow state that Jewish control of the Holy Land (on both sides of the Jordan river) is a precondition for the second coming.

washingtonpost.com - Half of evangelicals support israel because they believe it is important for fulfilling end times prophecy

This mindset basically says to Jews worldwide, "We've TOTALLY got your back on this Israel-in-the-Holy-Land thing cuz our magic book says YOU have to be established there to satisfy a checklist so OUR Lord can return one last time, instantly dispatch all the non-believers INCLUDING YOU to Hell, then Hoover the rest of us up in a beaming shaft of light into the eternal warmth and presence of an ever-loving god."

I feel 20 IQ points more stupid even typing that but eighty percent of evangelicals believe that.

WTH
