Go to Religion in the Modern World

Xeno-x - I am amazed how many people I run into that simply do not know
that Judaism does not recognize Jesus Chrsit as the son of God.
It is rather astounding that so many Christians can hold the Jewish people as a central element of their faith yet not know that they follow a completely different religion. Then there are the knuckleheads that attempt to gloss this reality over by writing in ludicrous scenarios to already absurd biblical prophecies that have the Jews converting to Christianity en masse just prior to the rapture. But what can you expect from people that believe in nonsensical fairy tales such as the rapture and are awaiting the second coming? Not much I'm afraid.

I've mentioned that myself in a manner of speaking
Apocalyptic Christians believe that the SECOND COMING hinges on a temple being built and the Beast residing therein.
and you find these AC's working hard to help the Jews build their temple, to the point of supporting them against their Arab neighbors. I personally believe that this is why the good Christian President of the United States took military action against Iraq -- to eliminate another threat to the Nation of Israel so that the temple can be built and the SECOND COMING can be a reality.
What we have as a result is Christians basically USING Jews because they really don't believe in Jewish rituals, etc. at a new Temple; and then Jews using Christians for their own ends to help with all sorts of support.
it should be interesting to see how all this pans out.
