ends with Jesus returning and Jews killed or converted.
There’s that evangelical anti-semitism again. Literally supporting Israel to kill all the Jews. If tele-evangelism existed in the 1930s and 40s they’d be saying that Hitler was the second coming of Christ or something. These people have something deeply wrong with them.

I think leftists underestimate the role Evangelical Christianity plays in the current unhinged actions of the west.
The western support and founding of Israel, purposely making climate change worse and letting the pandemic spread make sense of you realise western leaders believe in a kind of holy prophecy.
It really challenges the idea that nations ultimately are purely rational actors driven by resource competition. I have to remind myself sometimes that there are in fact some religious whackos tugging on the steering wheels. I don’t have a very good understanding of Iran, but I assume they have their share of that too (how could they not?)
I feel like the concept of rationality goes out the window when you start talking about larger and larger groups. :/
Yeah, it’s really dangerous when the religion lines up with the imperialism.
In the case of Israel, you have the base materialism that’s pushes the US to escalate there, but you also have the superstructure of holy war to cement it in the hearts of the population.

“When religion and politics ride in the same cart, when that cart is driven by a living holy man (baraka), nothing can stand in their path.” - Dune, Appendix II
It’s not that we’re wrong about there being a base under the superstructure, we just sometimes forget that the superstructure is still involved.
Evangelical beliefs about the “end times” are hilarious, some day I should write up an effort post all about it. I wish more people knew about it. I was raised premillenial dispensationalist in particular, AMA.
All because of one book that barely made it into the Bible, written by some hopped up dude who could barely write Greek, and was not really taken literally until a couple centuries ago. And when you take it literally you come up with some real crazy shit, y’all don’t even know the half of it.
My favourite part about this is Orthodox Christian leaders saying that evangelicals are worshiping the antichrist due to their end times beliefs.
Critical support to the orthodox church.
I briefly looked into Eastern Orthodox Christianity in my deconversion process. I liked some aspects like how they view heaven/hell and in general they seemed pretty level headed but I never really explored them any deeper, I assume there’s plenty of problematic aspects with them too.

The book of the apocalypse? or is it another book?
Revelation
He’s been saying this shit about whoever is currently on the US state department’s shit list for literally 50 years, you’d think people would get tired of it
that would require americans to stop thinking war is cool though and we have a lot of movies made specifically to stop that from happening.
