My father is a retired Litheran pastor and I grew going to church regularly.
I occasionally listen to Christen radio to keep in touch with modern views. I have noticed that that has been a huge increase in Bible verse quotes related to archaic locations in Israel. They are mostly just tourist sites at most now or the original locations lost to time/purpose. My sense is that the general view being pushed is this huge push for Christians to view Christ in Israel. It’s this constant sense of “presence” where Christ is real and walking in Israel. It’s a worldview where Christ really never stopped existing and the Jews never ever left Israel. It kinda denies historical events, changes in Judaism, etc. Just constant “Jews, Israel, Christ” over and over again from biblical verse. |
Fortunately, with each passing day, there are less and less gullible people around the world listening to this type of religious extremists radio garbage |
Same thing with Muslims. A guy puts on a turban and now he’s a “scholar” and because he screams about the end times, he makes for good tv. Islam fundamentalism and Christian televangelism started in the 1970s and was brought about by TV. Some very naive people sadly fell for the flim flam In the case of Islam, it’s getting better now with the new Prince of Saudi Arabia but so long as the wars continue, the fundamentalists will have an Audience |
evangelicals didn’t really exist in the 1950s. They rose to power in the 70’s. I believe it was the satanic panic over rock n roll and against communism and counterculture/ hippie movement that really brought up the rise of the Christian right in the 70s. We had two decades of Republican presidents after Vietnam, excluding Carter who only won because he was from the south and a devout Christian. Clinton was also Republican lite. Really the first Democratic president was Obama for the past 50 years |
Evangelicals are learning Israelis also kill and butcher and commit terror and have since the inception of their state |
| Evangelicals are also learning the oldest Christians and churches on the planet are not spared from Israeli aggression. |
And through all of that, our country managed to elect decent leaders of presidential caliber until we lost our minds and started electing elderly unfit people in 2016. |
DP. You will always be welcome in the South. |
You know exactly why you hooknozed freak |
Says the hairy toed wingnut |
BTDT and left, no thanks. Was not welcome there and would never live there again. |
I guess you were in Charlottesville. |
Manipulation of people through their religion is about power and money. Islamic fundamentalism and Christian televangelism is political. |
And, fortunately, both are dying breeds. The good people of the world are realizing that religion is no longer needed to police society so they are turning away from the craziness. |
