The mass murder of some 94 teenagers in Norway has brought home to many the danger of the unapologetic killer\’s world view.  Anders Behrent Breivik, is a Christian Zionist by our well-established definition, as is Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann.  

 

The wave of Judeo-Christianity, popularly known as Christian Zionism, seems to be a prerequisite for presidential candidates today.  It can best be thought of as an acquired mental illness because it results in discordant actions among those who admit to having it.  Unfortunately, some are in public office, and this then becomes the business of each of us.  Christian Zionism has grown so large that it is fair to call it a religious bubble, and is the number one enabler of the economic and moral dilemma that faces the USA and other North American countries.   Most victims of it, like those who develop a tragic eating disorder known as Anorexia Nervosa, cannot see their illness and need help to recover from it.  

 

I am told by professionals who treat Anorexia that some of its victims will eventually starve themselves to death if not treated, and most are said to resist treatment.  It has finally been acknowledged to be a disease even though it is self-induced.  I do not pretend to have a clinical explanation, but I do know what causes Christian Zionism.  It is taught, and no one is born with it, but it is a sickness because those who have it cannot see it, nor can most get over it without outside help.  It is a social problem because those who have it act in ways that are often discordant with and an anathema to the well being of the rest of the population in several distinct ways. Christian Zionists also cannot see the lack of common sense they portray to others, and they overlook multiple Bible inconsistencies taught to them by their spiritual leaders, who tell them they are the beautiful members of God\’s society, and all others are ugly by comparison. 

 

Anders Behrent Breivik and Michelle Bachmann are both Christian Zionists.  Their beliefs are very similar and are "faith based."  They differ only in the finer details of how their respective brains are wired.  What makes Christian Zionism so dangerous is that it is promoted by those who benefit from it politically, and by institutionalized recruitment by leaders who profit from it directly.  It now infects as much as 33% of USA voters.  Anorexia Nervosa seems to serve no one, but Christian Zionism serves one important national political end, it enables serial wars that serve the interests of investment bankers, warmakers, and the State of Israel.  It is, in turn, supported by persons, powers, and a media that would not for a moment believe one word of what Christian Zionists teach.  Most obvious among these promoters are the Israeli Lobby and the Serial War Lobby, which overlap.

 

Because Christian Zionism is a mental illness, and not a coherent faith as following Christ is, it allows little tolerance, nor debate. Many readers have told us painfully about close family members who stop communicating once the subject of the State of Israel is broached in religious context, sometimes broken over a single offhanded statement.  And then there is Breivik; and there is Michelle Bachmann! 

 

Most Republican Party candidates appear to cater to Judeo-Christians, even if they are not themselves one because so many votes are at stake.  Bachmann from Minnesota, is said to be a serious candidate for US President and is a living example of a discordant and bazaar thinker, but she will resonate with some 70 million Americans who are known to be influenced by the Judeo-Christian illness.  Here are some of her words from her own website that should be carefully examined, and are very much like Anders\’ profession:

 

*"Most Americans recognize that Israelis and Americans are two sides to the same coin because we share the same values…we even share the same mission, to be a light to the nations.. " 

 

*"We learned that our Christian Faith is rooted in Judaism.  Without the laws of Moses, without the Temple (at Jerusalem) there would have been no sermon on the mount."

 

*"It was this love for Israel and the Jewish state that brought me to volunteer for a kibbutz in 1974."

 

*"Upholding American values"…means "we must stand with Israel."  "I stand with Israel… "our policies in the Middle East must be guided by this imperative."

 

It should be clear to all, but other Christian Zionists, that Bachmann cannot function in national office under oath because her first commitment is to another flag, not to the USA, to another people, not to Americans first.

Author\’s Note:Project Strait Gate’s volunteers may have been the first to stage demonstrations "Vigils for Peace with Justice" at several of John Hagee\’s Night to Honor Israel meetings, and his Sunday services at his church in San Antonio, Texas, in October 2007.  We also staged an August 10, 2008, demonstration at Rod Parsley’s "World Harvest Church" in Columbus, Ohio.  On April 29, 2007, Project Strait Gate also held a "Vigil" outside Pastor James M. (Mac) Hammond\’s "Living Word Christian Church" in greater Minneapolis, where Congresswoman Bachmann was present and is supported financially. These demonstrations set a standard for the exposure of Christian Zionism\’s un-Christlike views and acts.  May it be spread, God willing.
