Fundamentalists Reveal Their Real Feelings

A guy named Tim Cerantola wrote a great piece (to my mind's eye) on the Op Ed News web page. Click the link to read the whole thing.

I watched this morning as the [fundamentalist] Christians cheerleaded Israel's invasion of Gaza from their pulpits. The 'end times' are upon us, they claim. Thank god I am not a believer(?)

There is a weird brand of Christianity in America these days. It’s a mixed up evangelical brew consisting of Jesus, bigotry and atomic war.

Like any decent group of Jesus loving people, these God fearing souls actually support war, torture, bombings, killing of innocent civilians and any and all American (and lately Israeli) military intervention everywhere, including the use of nuclear weapons – whatever it takes to get them to the Armageddon party – though oddly enough, they’re against terrorists and terrorism. Why? What’s the difference?
