You and I both know that, but the Bible - thumping loonies who support Israel's corrupt government right or wrong don't. They literally think that if the U.S. ever wavers or gives up support of the Israeli government in any way, it'll bring on the end times and trigger the prophecies in the Book of Revelations.

๐Ÿค” I never used to put much stock into the argument that religion is dangerous, but seeing how it affects everyone else politically, I will have to concede that point. It is very dangerous to civil society. If that's a authoritarian thing to say, it doesn't really matter -- the truth is inherently authoritarian in the minds of the weak.
