For decades, one of the most reliable pillars of pro-Israel sentiment in the United States was not just Jews but conservative Christians. That support had a theological motor: Israel mattered not just as an ally on a Cold War map, but as a central actor on the map of the End Times. Put simply, Christians needed Jews to return to the homeland of Israel to usher in the second coming of Christ.

But now, that theological motor is sputtering.

If only this meant all those people would realize how theology is just a means by which they are manipulated & controlled. The fact so much effort has to be expended just to (attempt to) explain away all the inconsistencies and just straight up nonsense should be enough, but no - the allure of being one with the mob mentality is too strong for logic to overcome.
