Ooo, sick burn
Like he’s ever given a fuck about any religion other than whatever cult of personality he can scrounge up
No true scottsman fallacy aside.
There are sects of Christianity that believe that the conflict in Israel will help bring about the Rapture.
They support the conflict because they think it’ll get them to heaven faster (the people in Israel and Palestine are simply unknowing pawns who will be destroyed in the resulting apocalypse anyway).
Trying to appeal to Trump’s Christianity or the Christianity of his supporters is largely useless. Religious people have deeply indoctrinated defenses against external ideas that challenge their worldview, you’re not breaching those defenses with a mean tweet.
Christian Zionists are the largest group of Zionists as well, around 10 million
For many, the belief that God still has a special relationship with Israel also includes an emphasis on eschatology, or the end times, and the belief that Israel’s establishment is part of a series of events that will lead to large-scale war, leading to the battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus.
IME that whole “rebuild the temple mount” isn’t even uncommon amongst Christians.
They truly believe the third temple should be build where the dome of the rock sits, and if WWIII is the price that has to be paid, fuck it there’s salvation in the afterlife.
Some Christians are good people, some (many) are very very not… Just like everyone else. Being a Christian doesn’t make one a good person.
