The Most Selective Outrage

FrontPage Magazine: “Mythology rather than reality governs the United Methodist lobby office. For the Religious Left, the United States and Israel are innately oppressor nations, each of them culturally guided by insidious forms of imperialistic Christianity and Judaism. Caterpillar, based in America’s heartland, is the perfect capitalist tool of Christian America’s avaricious and imperial relationship with the Jewish nation. This juicily irresistible myth provides an appealing paradigm for the Religious Left, which has been hankering for a good international boycott ever since the fall of apartheid South Africa. Probably the United Methodist Church’s General Conference, meeting in April 2007, will reject the lobby office’s appeal for divesting from Caterpillar. The Religious Left will then develop new mythologies and targets in its endless campaign to portray Israel and the U.S. and the world’s main oppressor states”

When they embrace replacement theology and take positions against the Jews being in the land given to them by God they will find themselves fighting against God. Thank God that there are very few real Christians left in this outfit.
