TV Evangelist John Hagee Wants War With Iran, and He Wants It Now!

If anyone still thinks that the radical end-times “prophecy” movement is not a threat to peace and stability, think again. At the popular level, in terms of the TV preachers and the hot-selling prophecy books, the dispensational pre-trib stuff still reigns supreme. Most conservative-leaning Evangelical churches in America today are heavily influenced by popular dispensational theology to some extent. Even churches and pastors that don’t teach pretribulationalism still are influenced by dispensationalism to varying degrees.

The most dangerous element of this prophetic paradigm, however, is its doom-and-gloom view of the world. And in most cases, those who have a fascination with the end of the world have a particular fascination with war and militarism as well. More problematic, it assumes that their wars of choice are not just their own foreign policy preferences or personal opinions. Rather they are ordained by God. In 2003, more than a few pastors and influential Christian figures basically said that opposing the Iraq war was opposing God’s end-time plan. According to Evangelical end-times enthusiasts, if you opposed the Iraq war, you didn’t just hate your country and the troops, now you were opposing God and the Bible as well.

An even bigger obsession for dispensationalists has always been Israel. For the average dispensationalist, modern-day secular Israel is going to be the focal point in the end-times. [Read more...]

How Would Jesus Kill Hugo Chavez?

“God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.”
— George W. Bush, 43rd US President and self-professed Christian, to Palestinian PM Abu Mazen, during a meeting in Aqaba, Jordan (early 2003)

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
— Ann Coulter, pundit and self-professed Christian, This Is War (NRO, 9/13/01)

Occasionally, I speak of my brother, the Southern Baptist. He’s a good sport and never has complained. We are a study in contrasts, he and I; each trying to sway the other to his own point of view. I’m going to win. You see, I have God on my side.

Regularly, I receive inquiries from others as to my personal religious beliefs. Always, I have kept my beliefs to myself. Until now. Even so, regular followers of my musings, particularly those who have read my book, Defensive Racism, will find no real surprises here today.

For those who routinely delete anything they receive that smacks of religion, be reassured that, while today’s piece is about religion, at least in part, it is not religious. In fact, you might find it of especial interest because I expect to anger a great many so-called Christians.
