evangelicals gullible or just nutty?

Here's a real treat for ya'll. This is what the evangelicals are up to.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/til_kingdom_come 'Til Kingdom Come In this provocative look at strange political bedfellows, Israeli filmmaker Maya Zinshtein (Forever Pure, DOC NYC 2016) investigates the political alliance between American evangelicals and Israel’s right wing, and their influence on the Trump administration’s foreign policy. Why do American church leaders encourage parishioners to make donations to Israel, even from poor communities? Because they believe Israel’s expansion will play a key role in end-times prophecy, when Christians will be saved and others--including Jews--will perish.

live theirs? Right? That was the message to Christians from the LGBT community. Right?
Also, why constantly berate religious folk….for the most part they don’t destroy communities, they bring people together..and for the most part spread a good message, no matter the denomination.
This whole religion hating on here is weird.

I think overall they are good, but they only bring fellow evangelicals together and they go after certain other groups. They dont just mind their own business.

When religious people go fundamentalist and inform their

politics through the church…ridicule away at them. Put nothing else before God in your spiritual relationship with him…he doesn’t like or want competition. These type of whackos seem to forget this little edict. Not to mention, God would definitely not approve church leaders using the church for nefarious purposes.
20 years ago, nobody had a problem calling out religious whackoism, now that they’ve turned into a useful voting block, suddenly they’re ok. I say F that to Jerusalem and back.

Unfortunately quite a few evangelical predominately white churches are doing what's been going on in many predominately black churches for many decades.
Politics should have no space in the pulpit or in a church setting.
Having said that, the level of disdain often coming forward from some on this site for people of faith is annoying to me. On the national scene that antipathy seems to come from those left of center who habitually criticize others for being intolerant.

Agree that politics has no place in church. However, calling out sun is not politics no matter how hard some try to label it politics. You can call out sun from scripture and never have to mention a political party or individual.

So you do not like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc who use politics in the pulpit every day.

They’re not so much fundy as they are political figure and

…Lawd, don’t really know what to call Sharpton these days…occasional guest on a podcast or something, former race provocateur? Both are irrelevant now anyway, Sharpton was more of a whacko than Jesse. I understand you are trying to make this racial as in, black people do it, too! Let me be clear, black/white/asian… if you are preaching fundamentalist drivel and political opinions in the same breath, you have no credibility with me. If you listen to and are taken in by that garbage, you have even less.
And quit knocking on my door Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Hard to put Sharpton into the same category as Jesse. Sharpton is a race hustler. Jesse has done some good things for people.
Fundamentalist - I guess it depends on what one believes are the fundamentals.

Not being racial at all. Just be consistent with your thoughts for a change, you dislike devout Christians with your “fundamentalist drivel” comment, you have shown your true colors.

Genesis 12:3
Numbers 24:9
Q did say they were saving Isreal for last and there was a reason for it.
We need to remember to separate people from governments

But that's not a practice evangelicals really have. Many are working very hard to turn our nation into a theocracy.

Tigermanac:
Thats pretty funny when you say "for the most part".
If you're saying "they don’t destroy communities" you haven't watched the movie.
If you're saying "they bring people together" you haven't watched the movie.
If you watch the movie you'll see the far right jews in Israel have conned the gullible far right in the US.
I agree 100% with why not live your own life and let others live theirs. Amen brother.
Let everyone follow any religion, or lack of religion, they choose.
Government and other peoples' religion should stay out of my business.
I dont suggest anyone should do anything about the evangelicals teaming up with the Israeli far right, let them do what they want, I dont suggest any action.
However, I do it's important for con artists to be exposed.
Some people like to understand whats going on in the world around them. Some don't.

the anti-religious stuff is actually not a mystery.
The socialists only have room for one master, and it's Woke. Anything that competes with Woke is deemed not good, not tolerable by the lefties. The old and traditional must go. Anything before Woke is not of import.
So the anti-religion part of the socialist's 'platform' is sometimes direct and sometimes a result of focusing on eliminating non-Woke elements of the society.
