The fundamentalists both Christians and Jews are playing a
terrible cat and mouse game in Israel. The Fundamentalist
(so-called) Christians are supporting Zionism because they say
it is prophesied in the Gospels that Israel will prevail over
their enemies. They say Jesus will return to smite dead anyone who
doesn't believe in him including Jews. Jews don't believe in Jesus.
They believe in the Messiah but some in Israel are courting the
Fundamentalist Christians because they want support for their
country and the building of the wall. Both have a radically
different idea of the Messiah. The Fundi-Christians believe
that their leader will destroy the Jewish Messiah and the
Jewish orthodox people believe that their Messiah will prevail
over Jesus. Two elements in bed in Zionism with contradictory
outcomes. How crazy is that?

As to the nonsense about Christian prayers at football games,
Tar-heel's points are simplistic and naive. I agree with Joseph Campbell who says that Christianity is basically a pacifist religion
which has been hi-jacked by fundamentalist crazies.
