    This reason is why I laugh about Israel lining up behind the American right wing. Like you guys know what Israel is for according to the bible, right?

      I have no clue, because never reading the bible thoroughly because of being an atheist and all. I did a quick search and found something about being model nation under god and fully embracing the Messiah as a nation. But not sure what you refer to.

        Something along the lines of the second coming of Christ happens (or first coming of the Messiah if your are Jewish) when a major war breaks out in the Middle East around Israel. It is related to Christian Zionism.

        The problem is of course this has already happened numerous times in history. So they are basically full of shit.
