The stench of end-times nonsense

selective, twisted interpretation of scripture...

As Israeli bombs fell on Lebanon for a second week last July, the Rev. John Hagee of San Antonio arrived in Washington with 3,500 evangelicals for the first annual conference of his newly founded organization, Christians United For Israel.

At a dinner addressed by the Israeli ambassador, a handful of Republican senators and the chairman of the Republican Party, Mr. Hagee read greetings from President Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel and dispatched the crowd with a message for their representatives in Congress. Tell them “to let Israel do their job” of destroying the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah, Mr. Hagee said.

He called the conflict “a battle between good and evil” and said support for Israel was “God’s foreign policy.”

Mr. Hagee is an author of several books about the interpretation of biblical prophecies. He says he believes the Bible assigns Israel a pivotal role as a harbinger of the second coming. Citing passages from Revelation and Ezekiel, he argues that conflict between Israel and Iran may be a sign that that time is approaching.

this i know unequivocally... god does not support "destroying" anyone, for any reason... these people may THINK they're committed to christian principles, but they are sadly mistaken... there is nothing in god's universe that calls upon people to kill other people... nothing...

something else to keep in mind... the new testament and the teachings of christ were intended as an antidote to the anger and violence woven throughout the old testament... for all their avowed allegiance to "christ"ian principles, these people are remarkably un-christ-like...
