Related: About this forumBachmann apologizes to Israel for crazy talk while not repudiating the crazy talk
Michele Bachmann apologized in Israel for urging Jews to convert to Christianity to bring about the biblical End of Days.
The former Minnesota congresswoman and failed Republican presidential candidate said she was sorry Sunday for her remarks three years ago about Jews and armageddon, reported the Times of Israel.
Bachmann told a right-wing radio station in 2015, following a visit to Israel, that intensifying violence in the region signaled the return of Jesus and called for mass conversions.
We recognize the shortness of the hour, Bachmann told Washington Watch, and thats why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can even among the Jews share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, Hes coming soon.

Meanwhile she's back in Israel and is no doubt all giddy again over the recent violence.

The sad part is she isn't the only one who uses religious violence for a personal agenda

the day is nigh when she will get the same sort of happy excitement when Jewish folks are being killed.

All one needs to do is examine unfamiliar belief systems. Then you realize they are no less crazy.
