Tim LaHaye's Christian voter mobilization video

LaHaye: If America Doesn't Bless Israel, 'We're Going to Incur the Curse of God'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tue, 09/18/2012 - 3:40pm

End Times enthusiast Tim LaHaye has recorded a Christian voter mobilization video for his wife Beverly's organization, Concerned Women for America, in which he declares the "liberal secularists" control the media, education, and the government and they "are not our friend; in fact I don't think they're friends of America" because they want to "destroy the culture."

But LaHaye's primary concern is America's relationship with Israel, as he claims that America has only been blessed by God "because we have been better to the Jew and Israel than any nation in the history of the world" and warns that "if we change that ... then we're going to incur the curse of God"...

Maybe the most disturbing video I have seen.

(Waiting for Armageddon - Video)

... filmmakers Kate Davis, David Heilbroner and Franco Sacchi explore the lives of evangelical Christians who believe that Armageddon is imminent and that Israel will be the site of Jesus's second coming. The film follows evangelicals as they prepare for the apocalypse and examines how their beliefs and craving for destruction have influenced the U.S. government's relationships with Israel and Muslim majority countries.

they have sadly convinced their children they will not marry or have kids and that the younger will likely not even finish high school. You have a point, but there is no reasoning and they stitch elaborate cultish notions. They are lost, deeply in a religious cult. It is very scary indeed.
