@sun A lot of Christian support is due to rapture theology. They believe that if Israel rebuilds the Third Temple, all of the good Christians will get whisked away to heaven. My mom was one of those. I always thought it was heresy and that the Old Testament's pretty clear when it comes to how God views his worshippers playing rules lawyer.

@mrsaturday rapture theology is real, doesn't actually go back that far historically, and is connected to ethnically interested groups. so it's real and active but it is a creation, not a thing that just always existed or a natural evolution.

@mrsaturday this is also a cui bono thing, like christians who live in a hovel int he Appalachians and send 20% of their money to the holy land, what do they actually get. but the other people, they get...the money. and the land. it is crazy that we've been tricked into looking at this every possible way except who benefits, every single time, from all this, and who just seems to be tricked out of misguided values that don't seem to be backed up by any legitimate doctrinal reasons
