Yes I have. Quite a few weirdos. Btw, you are doing the “I have personally not seen this therefore it doesn’t exist” mental acrobatic - because you can see everything everywhere at all times, and what other people have to say doesnt matter.
You’ve gone from “the Christian right only believes this because” to “quite a few weirdos I have met personally”, and I’m the one doing mental acrobatics?
You’re painting with the same broad brush right wingers do when they say all leftists are gay furry terrorists.
Do you want to understand your enemy, or just demonize them?
stop distorting the reality of the situation. you’ve had your head in the sand if you’ve never met christians who are accelerationists, who want the end times now. they’re not an isolated one off.
A predictive model is only as accurate as it’s underlying assumptions. Leftists are floundering on the Palestine issue because they don’t actually want to understand the opposing side. They’re just chasing the dopamine rush of feeling like they’re right, always - kind of like religious fundamentalists.
I was raised Baptist and the rebuilding of Temple Mount/the Third Temple (destroying the dome of the rock in the process) is religious doctrine. They believe it has to happen for the messiah to return.
They eagerly await WWIII in the middle east as part of their end times prophecies. I’ve met dozens (easily) who’ll get there in a conversation, but you have to talk to them as a believer.
The christian right only supports the israeli bullshit they see as leading to “armageddon” because they are in their idiotic eschatological phase.
This gets parroted by left wingers a lot, but I’ve literally never met an American Christian who will come out and say this.
Have you?

I understand what I need to understand. My experiences with them IRL have led me to my current position.
Spoken like a true bigot. Good luck with that 👍

Have you ever met any Evangelical Christians?
