Let’s just say your average conservative American Evangelical Christian interprets the Bible a bit differently than you do.

On a side note to that I read an article a while back that said one’s political beliefs were more likely to affect religious beliefs than vice versa.

Words cannot express how stupid that shit is.

The part about how wonderful and humanistic the KKK was/is made me vomit a little in my mouth.

"Oh, but the cross was their symbol. How quaint! Let's jaunt over to wikipedia, kids, to read about all the immoral movies they peacefully protested with their awesome jesus sticks!"

A another thing which mystifies me about American Conservative Christians, is their Zionism. The New Testament (in particular the Pauline epistles) say that the Jewish people have been replaced by a "spiritual" Israel which is composed of those who confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Therefore even Jews in order to be saved, need to confess Jesus as their lord and savior.

I know a "Reformed Evangelical" who sides with the Palestinians because of what I have described above and his interpretation is pretty sound. So If I were a Christian I would be more critical of Israel's policies towards the Palestinians than I am now and see the only way to resolving the Jewish-Arab conflict is the conversion of both the Jews and Arabs to Christianity.

What they really want is for the Israelis to kill all the muslims so that jesus can come back and kill the jews and all the xtian assholes can go party with jesus.

Most jews are fully aware of this "support."
