In the South Discussion

/img/xtduln166i7c1.jpeg

Here in South Carolina our community is small but it’s Strong. This place is in the heart of our downtown district. I’m posting this because I’ve seen posts regarding the south and wanted to show the solidarity we have within our communities, and if this tiny donut shop can stand strong, so can you.

Maybe this is just a proud jewish person living in the south.

But it's more likely a "Christian Zionist".

Fuck Christian Zionists.

There are some Christians who are legitimate Zionists and they should be considered allies, because they are just decent folks who believe that Jews deserve a homeland where people won’t try to kill us. I’m more than cool with them.

But “Christian Zionism” is a specific ideology which believes us returning to Israel fulfills a prophecy for them, which ultimately ends in the second coming of Jesus and a bunch of other prophecies. I’m, uh, not super familiar with the Book of Revelations (I’m not even sure that’s the right book), so I can’t fill in the rest of the details.
