A huge amount of America is Baptist Christian and believes Israel needs to be at war for Jesus to come back etc. How impactful is this to real life? (hexbear.net)

Is American foreign policy always a cool rational neoliberal calculation or do the delusions of the general public have meaningful impact?

afaik the official line is that all the apocalypse stuff is mostly literary and there isn't a concrete idea of when/what/where, so they don't worry about it. i'm sure some sects and clerics still get millenarian from time to time though.

what that means is that is that catholics shouldn't have a dog in israel, but evil white yankee catholics support israel through racism while Rome does the routine "stop killing people" they do for any war with stronger words when israel attacks christians, particularly members of the several churches in lebanon/palestine in communion with Rome

I don’t think I’ve met any Catholics who said that anything is metaphorical. Certainly not priests.
