They believe: Jews are God’s chosen people. They believe: Jews were promised Israel and must occupy it for Jesus to return. They believe: Jews are going to hell because they rejected Jesus. They believe: God *might* make an exception to the whole hell thing for them because they’re his chosen people.
Well, Evangelical Christians support Israel because they believe that the big Armageddon battle will take place there, heralding Jesus’ return. Nothing else.
After Jesus returns, they expect he will convert the Jews and kill those who do not do so.
Or cast them alive into hell. I could talk about eschatology all day but my memory is fuzzy on that part. I *think* Jesus returns, vanquishes the anti-Christ, and flings him and his followers directly into hell, along with anyone else deemed unworthy.
I’m compiling a list of relevant newsletters to answer this comment. But yes, they plan to blow up the Constitution by gaslighting us into believing their interpretation is what the founders intended.
When they say "many faiths" they only mean Christian faiths. And then, there are some denominations that consider themselves 'More Christian Than Others."
Yes, they only mean Christian Nationalism. There are many Christians they don't consider to be Christians. (Those that allow women pastors; those that allow gay clergy; those that allow gay members; those that don't condemn abortion; etc.)
I've said this a couple of times, but I haven't written a newsletter about it. I don't think many Americans realize that Catholics think Protestants are going to hell and Christian Nationalist Protestants think Catholics are going to hell. If we could get them to fight amongst themselves about whose faith would be the national faith once they seize power, it might be easier to divide and conquer.
Well, I was raised Catholic and we never thought of mainstream Protestants as going to hell. That's from the early days of the Catholic/Protestant split.
On the other hand I also remember Pentecostal pastors on the radio in Puerto Rico literally screaming that Catholics would burn in hell, citing reasons such as the "blasphemy of the Mass and Communion" and the veneration of the Virgin Mary and the saints.
Which is why I worry about the rise of what I call Fundamentalist Catholics here in the USA who are opposed to Pope Francis. They may think they can form an alliance with Christian (Protestant) Supremacists, but once their theocratic dreams become reality the latter will turn around and thank the former with a stab in the back.
My newsletter today deals with this issue. I think far-right extreme Catholics and Protestants believe their specific faith is the One True Faith. There’s more acceptance and tolerance in normal churches, both Catholic and a Protestant. But what drives CNs isn’t normal.
Great article Andra. I am glad to see emails from organizations mentioning Project 2025 and the dangers it poses. I’d like to think your work is having an impact. Actually I know it has. Thanks for all you do. ❤️
I’m glad my work is useful. This is one of those really hard things where I know I’ve contributed to more people talking about P2025, and my work will never get the credit for forcing the conversation. Someone else will likely be crowned the “expert” on P2025’s Christo-fascist agenda. So thank you for saying this. I needed to hear it today.
It'll be interesting to see what these clowns think about Judaism.
They'll probably just follow the theories of Tomas de Torquemada...."Let's face it, you can't talk-em-outa anything..."

So basically, it’s fucked up.

Just remember that "The Beast" is actually an early Christian anti-Roman wall slogan.
"DCLXVI" are the major Roman numerals in order...and 666.
I assume they plan on blowing up the constitution.

They need to study the founders writings. Apparently they skipped that in school, college, and law school.
They studied them enough to rewrite them and gaslight Americans about their meaning.

Thirst for power, plain and simple.

According to Christian Nationalism, who is more reprehensible--a Muslim or an atheist? Or are they both equally demonic?
Both are equally demonic. I think they reserve more vitriol for Muslims, though.
