Entry: Morning Links Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/morning_links#21699 Post contents: Justin, I read almost everything you write on Antiwar.com, TakiMag, and Lew Rockwell. I actually agree with a lot of it and I definitely enjoy your sarcastic (or is it cynical) sense of humor. I would like, however, to make a slight exception. I am a born again Christian. I do not believe that what we are doing in, with, and to Israel is right.The numerous versions of the Bible that I have read all say that Israel is to look to God for everything. He is to be their protector and fight with them and for them. This may sound a bit out there, but I can assure you that there are times when I was in way over my head with no way out. I can only believe that divine intervention got me through. I also know that we are told to be peacemakers, love our enemies, and pray for them. What the government of this country is doing to the innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan, and so many other places is in direct conflict with what Jesus said we are to do. We are intervening in purely evil and diabolical ways at the behest of radical Christians and a radical group of Israelis. I can't help but believe that God is definitely not happy with us. So then the queston becomes, "So why isn't He doing something?" He may be. We are not necessarily privy to His thoughts and motives. My point is that just as not all Muslims are bad or all Jewish people are bad, or any other group, not all Christians feel that we have to "save" Israel. Israel and Christians are supposed to let God do His work, but we have a very difficult time allowing him to do it without our input and interference. I guess that makes me anti-Semitic too.
