Barry,

Hi EB,
So as not to be off-topic in your current posts I reposted here. I take it that you're:
1. a practicing Christian
2. Pro Israel
3. Pro America (a nationalist)
4. by 2 and 3, neoconservative
I don't believe that Christians act primarily for the benefit of the
state nor Israel (hence the "I disagree with the nationalism and
"Politely knocking on Taquiyya's door" bit). Instead I am convinced
that we act out of God's interests, derived from a heart of worship to
God, which in turn may or may not be in the mutual benefit of the state.
I also believe Christians don't have the moral obligation to protect
the state of Israel. Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus give this
commandment.
Regarding my allergy to nationalism, I believe this was one of the root
causes for the spiritual wandering of the Israelites found in the OT.
These are some of my reasons.
