OMG, what a fruitcake.The Travesty of Mike Pence in Jerusalem
Vice President Mike Pence, standard bearer of America’s Protestant fundamentalists, addressed the Israeli parliament (“Knesset”) January 22. There he hailed the nation that has engaged in relentless war crimesand land theft, as God’s handiwork. No atheist could do as much damage to Christianity and the Bible as Mike Pence. By associating Biblical Christianity with a Christless ideology of mass murder, he casts the Word of God and the Faith based upon it, in severe disrepute.
In his Knesset address, Pence did the Israelis no favors when he encouraged the diabolic vice of pride among Judaic people:
“Israel is like a tree that has grown deep roots in the soil of your forefathers, yet as it grows, it reaches ever closer to the heavens. And today and every day, the Jewish state of Israel, and all the Jewish people, bear witness to God’s faithfulness, as well as your own.”
Obviously Pence is making a racist statement when he puts forth the hyperbole that "all the Jewish people, bear witness to God’s faithfulness….” He’s not saying that he believes that not one of them is a bank robber, not one an adulterer or an embezzler. Rather, he’s saying without regard to any possible crimes they may have committed, they are all “Jews” and have a highly favored relationship with God simply by the circumstance of their supposed birth as alleged “Jews.” This is the heresy of Protestant fundamentalism.
