American Jews are waking up to reality slowly, but not enough and not soon enough. There is still the understandable but still unjustified fear of conservatives because a few conservatives are evangelical Christians who think Jews will not be saved. American Jews ahve an irrational fear of a theocracy that almost no oen on the right would favor establishing. They seem to forget that Hitler was more of a pagan or even Satanist than a Christian.
I came across this a while back:
If a leader were to arise -- a man who was a vegetarian; a radical environmentalist; a tea-drinking, nature worshiping, anti-smoking fanatic; a socialist; a proponent of abortion and of medical research utilizing fetal tissue; a man who would outlaw speech and ideas that he didn't approve of; an animal rights activist; a controversial artist and writer; a pagan who's harshest rhetoric was directed against Jews and Christians -- he could rise quickly to the leadership of the Green Party. Indeed, such a man would find few critics among Democrats, and would be welcomed by the faculty of most colleges. Such a man did once exist, and did become the leader of a modern nation only a few decades ago. That man was Adolph Hitler.
It may be a while before the Jews learn that the average Christian is not their enemy.
Evangelicals simply believe that because of the Fall all human beings are born damned and remain in that condition unless and until they are "born again" and "saved." Everyone who does not take advantage of the out that G-d has supposedly provided will be eternally damned, whether Jewish or anything else. Whatever one may think of this belief it is most certainly not anti-Jewish. As a Noachide, they must of necessity think that I will be damned also. This is their religion, but all the advocates of "religious liberty" seem to want to outlaw these people's beliefs. I believe ultimately the world will be governed by Halakhah, but I am adamantly opposed to suppression of either the true religion or false religions by hypocritical atheist bastards. And btw, if what evangelicals think about me doesn't bother me, why do so many non-Orthodox Jews get so bent out of shape? Every religion has different criteria for salvation. There's something wrong with "proud Jews" who have to be constantly assured by chr*stians that they are going to Heaven.
American Jews ahve an irrational fear of a theocracy that almost no oen on the right would favor establishing.
The very fact that Jews are always thought of as opposing rather than advocating Theocracy is a supreme irony that seems lost on most people of every religion and ideology.
