WWJB.. Yeah, ....Who Would Jesus Bomb
Defending Israel to the “End Times
These are busy days for Christian Zionists. While President Bush recently returned from his trip to the Middle East "optimistic" that a peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians could be reached by the end of the year, Pastor John Hagee’s Christian United for Israel (CUFI) is setting forth plans to put the kibosh — if not on the entire peace process — on any agreement that would sanction the division of Jerusalem. And Dr. Mike Evans has launched a "Save Jerusalem Campaign" while Joel C. Rosenberg’s Joshua Fund is planning a major celebration in Jerusalem in honor of Israel’s 60th anniversary.

Fundamentalists of any stripe annoy me, because they see the world through the (only black or white) perspective of a particular religious text, which is always treated as the literal word of God.
But so-called Christian Zionists scare the absolute stuffing out of me.
These are people who truly believe that if they can become enablers to the process of setting off some global conflagration, that will enable their biblical prophecy of the "end days" to be fulfilled.
I kind of hate to rain on their parade of absolute certainty, but I do have a question: who would Jesus bomb?
It gives that old hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers, Marching as to War" a whole new meaning.< p>And on top of it all, if they really knew what most Israeli Jews thought of them, they would be absolutely shocked and amazed.
