The Zionists (both Jews and Christians) believe they are ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven by creating Greater Israel through war and conquest.

Zionists take the Bible literally and believe that when the Jewish nation controls all of the middle east their God and his angels will descend from the heavens. There will be a war where the Adversary and his legions will be annihilated and the righteous will ascend to heaven for eternity.

I think the Zionists are immantizing the wrong eschaton. Its not the Book of Revelations or any other part of the Bible that is coming to pass. Its the Norse Ragnarok. In Norse religion of the gods, giants, monsters and men annihilate each other in a series of titanic battles over resources. Finally the world is destroyed in fire.

At least in Ragnarok the world is reborn after it is cleansed. Two humans survive the cataclysm to create the race of man again. The Maya had the right idea about the end of the world too come to think on it. Cycles of annihilation and rebirth.

Even if the Zionists are correct it would appear to me that they are actually on the side of the biblical Adversary. That means they will be in for a righteous smiting with flaming swords when Gabriel or Heimdal blows his horn.

A question: Why is Germanic / Norse religion referred to as mythology? I guess its because it was "conquered" by Christianity. But Christians refer to Buddhism, Hinduism and all the other major religions as such. You can argue that Buddhism isn't even a religion as it doesn't require the belief in supernatural god(desses) or anything supernatural at all. The beliefs of Indigenous people around the world are described as religions by Christians but the ancient Norse / Germanic belief system is always described as a "myth". I find that really odd and perhaps telling.

I don't believe in the Judaeo-Christain myths or the Germanic / Norse myths or any other myths or religions. I do have a certain fondness for Eris and her works. I also think that living in accord with the eternal Dao is a good concept and that the Stoic philosophers had some really good ideas too. None of that requires belief in the supernatural apart from perhaps regarding Eris as being a representation of part of human nature. That is as far as I go with belief systems / religions.

Come to think on it perhaps the Trojan War never ended. What we are seeing now is just the latest installment of the war caused by the Judgement of Paris. Who knows, perhaps one day we will find out who the prettiest goddess really is. Hail Eris. Don't eat hot dog buns etc.

Fuck it all. Its all just stories told by people sitting around fires thousands of years ago. (or in a bowling alley in the 60s) It still feels like the end of the world though.
