Then Maher accused Christian fundamentalists of befriending Israel only because, ultimately, they'd like to see Jews die:
"You know, this is the sickest thing. They go over to Israel and they're not for the Bush road map to peace over there in the Middle East. Because they don't want Arabs in Jerusalem – because what they say is the Bible says that when Jesus comes back for the Second Coming, Jerusalem has to be just the way he left it."

(I know you are busy with Terri's fight, and will probably not be able to read all of this.)
Actually, Maher has a point, AND I just learned somehing from reading this re: the Arabs (another piece of the puzzle - thanks, Bill!). I first read about the 'Christian' part last year. Being a Christian, it was news to me that we WANTED the Jews to be killed in Israel. However, the infiltrated churches and the Tim LaHayes's had been teaching that this was what was going to occur. I have since come to believe that that is what the NWO religious lackeys have been sent out to MAKE us believe. The NWO has been jockeying to mimic Biblical prophecy (a lot of which has IMO been fulfilled), while their religious arm goes about prophecying about the Book of Revelation, which was written for the persecuted church before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. (See THE REALITY OF CONSPIRACIES by Gary North - good article -
http://freebooks.entrewave.com/freebooks/docs/html/gnco/html/1.htm ) If people knew this, and that they were not going to be 'raptured' out of here, might they not pay a little more attention to fighting against the NWO agenda? Might they not then be a force to reckon with instead of a dead cat to run over? Might they not then be more concerned with all the Terri Schiavo's who are being 'run over', understanding that they could be next? Might they not be more concerned with 'loving thy neighbor' and working toward establishing God's kingdom on earth? Might they not be more diligent in 'preaching the gospel' to every creature? Might they not be sure that the Muslims heard the gospel, in self-defence if nothing else? Might they not be more concerned with seeking a just peace for BOTH Palestinians and Jews? Of course they would, but that would be contrary to the NWO's own selfish agenda. According to the following article, the real reason some Christians support Israel is because they believe by doing so, they will bring on 'Jesus' second coming', and they will get to go to heaven without first dying.

Jesus told the disciples:
Mat 10:23But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, YE SHALL NOT HAVE GONE OVER THE CITIES OF ISRAEL, TILL THE SON OF MAN BE COME.

Thanks to Mel's movie, we have plenty of opportunities to hash out God's word. The New Covenant says He will write His laws in our hearts and minds, and they will no more say 'know the LORD, for they shall ALL know me'. Jesus said to His Father, 'May they be one, as We are One'. I see God's hand in all of this. How about you?
