In case your wondering, my personal observation is that Jews are growing warmer to Evangelical Christians too, thanks to their support of Israel. My mother 10 years ago was petrified of the Religious Right (can't say I blame her-- we had very bad experiences with Christians who wouldn't take "no" for an answer and kept trying to convert us, to the point of great annoyance). Now she watches the 700 Club religiously just to hear Pat speak about defending Israel.
As a Jew, I couldn't care less what non-Jews believe, as long as they are monotheistic and moral. But because of Evangelical Christianity's pro-Israel, philo-Semetic viewpoint... I hope and pray with every fiber of my being that its message gets spread throughout the globe (save for my measly 15 million tribesmen).
One day in the late 19th Century, Queen Victoria of England reportedly asked her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, this question...Thanks Salem.
"Mr. Prime Minister, what evidence can you give me of the existence of God?"
Disraeli thought for a moment and then replied, "The Jew, your majesty."
