(This is just the start, it gets better)
just got off the phone with an atheist whom I speak with every once in awhile about Christianity. Today, he was so loudly protesting Israel that I couldn't get a word in edgewise. He said that Israel should be nuked & that it's no wonder why the Arab people hate our country. He also said that if the USA is attacked again like on 9/11, it would be our fault because of our blind support for Israel.
I know the hatred for Israel is coming from his hatred towards Christianity & God.......but it still makes me physically sick!!

Hatred for Israel comes from his hatred towards CHRISTIANITY?
Silly me, all these years I thought it was a JEWISH state.

"I just wonder how the conversation really went."
Chances are it never actually happened at all. The closest thing that probably happened is that someone said something jut ever so slightly against Israel and Mrsbri turned it into this.
For, as the rest of the thread on RR shows, this post is part of a fundie rapture-fap fantasy, and we all know how much the people on RR can't wait for Jesus's second coming.

"I know the hatred for Israel is coming from his hatred towards Christianity & God"
What??
Any hatred of Israel comes from their absolutely appalling behaviour. Get your head out of your arse, look at something other than Faux News and stop spouting gibberish.
Here's a start fcuktard..

Your atheist friend actually has a point. While business and people are going to the wall in the US, the country is passing billions to Israel that she uses to protect herself.
Sadly her idea of protecting herself is closer to Adolf's (Lebensraum, Blitzkrieg)than that of any reasonable person. (I exclude from 'reason' fundies, religiomaniacs and churches of all denominations).
It is clear that a more even-handed foreign policy in respect of the Arab world/Israel would mean more influence for the US among Arabs. As it is, the Arabs call you the Great Shaitan. Shaitan, fundie-wunda-ism, is Satan! The see Americans behind every attack that Israel makes, behind every Arab man, woman and child that Israel kills. You are the real killers and Israel is your tool... I have heard that from Arabs own mouths. Yet you see yourselves as untainted and victims of the Arabs? There is confusion here on both sides, and Israel is the fulcrum.
Get to setting it right this time.
It is also conceivable that such an evenhandedness might well have avoided altogether the horror of 9/11!
We shall see with interest what president Obama does in this area.
While there are in fact atheists who are morons (being human, we have our share, just like you do), and it's possible that this conversation actually took place in a way somewhat similar to how you described it, given the source (ie, Rapture Ready), I find myself having a hard time believing it.
there's a better post further down in the thread:
"I have a confession to make... Other than some very basic info, I really have no clue why they are fighting in Israel. And it's not really something I'm interested in looking at too deep. My "orders" are to be with Israel, no matter what. And in some cases (for me) too much info is a bad thing. I'm very good at looking at things from both sides, I'd like to be better at looking at things from God's side. "

@dpareja
It's more likely coming from the fact that Israel is using their very powerful, American backed military to bomb innocent people in Gaza.
Let me fix that for you:
It's more likely coming from the fact that Israel is using their very powerful, American backed military to bomb terrorists, whom hide amongst innocent people in Gaza.
You don't think his hatred has more to do with the fact that Israel is throwing it's weight around, killing innocent civilians, and in general being a bully?
Nah. You're probably right.
"I know the hatred for Israel is coming from his hatred towards Christianity & God"
I'm of the mind that what your friend really hates is a 100:1 retributive body count when ever an Israeli is killed.
I think he's hates seeing kids having their faces blown off by cluster bombs.
I think he hates hearing about little girls and old women being strip-searched and deprived of tampons and sanitary napkins by Israeli checkpoint guards.
Most of all, I think he hates seeing entire generations of palestinians be born, live, and die in refugee camps without ever knowing their homeland.
That's what I think. I know it pisses me off.
@dpareja -- I think I understood what you said, there. Proportionally, Christians are more likely to be assholes, amirite?
To those that are curious, the reason that fundies support Israel is that for Jesus to come back, the temple must be rebuilt and the Jews must start the animal sacrifices again. They've found the red heifers, a fundie in Texas is breeding them. Now all they have to do is blow up the Dome of the Rock so that the building can begin.
Once the Jews have performed their part, they can go to hell with all the Muslims that were sent before.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
