Why are evangelical Christians (and Catholics), in particular, so strong in opposition to killing the unborn and the dying but NOT the rest of us who want to live and not to be annihilated in Gaza, Judea, Samaria, Lebanon, Syria and Iran? And, outside the Middle East, such as the Far East with USA/British Christians and all faiths in the military, causing murder, mayhem and misery from illegal and totally unnecessary wars, courtesy of the Judeo-Christian world.
Why is abortion and assisted dying a major campaign issue rather than honourable opposition to the mountain of corpses piling up in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and, who continue to be murdered in cold blood by OUR leaders whom we vote for? And pay taxes for them to do it.
Why are they using quotes from the Bible books, Exodus, Joshua (named after a former Israeli military leader) and 1 Samuel, to support current Israel and USA leaders in their extermination of people like me who simply want to live in happy, peaceful co-existence with never our enemies (only friends) and with everyone else, regardless of their political or religious beliefs?
Why are there articles in evangelical Christian magazines about Christian nationalism which never mention Christian internationalism? In one long article on the subject, I could not find any reference to Donald Trump’s MAGA movement which is selfishly about right wing Christian nationalism of putting the USA first, foremost and central in every possible way and to the major detriment of other nations like Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?
Why, in February 2003, was I the only Christian from any of the Halesowen churches who attended the one million people who marched in London against the Blair/Bush war on Iraq? The UN weapons inspectors had found nothing of concern; Saddam Hussein, our leaders knew, had nothing to do with 9/11; and our good friend Bibi wrote in his autobiography that he had destroyed Iraq’s nuclear weapons, anyway! Our leaders got away with it then and now with attacking Iran and Lebanon, yet again.
Why do evangelicals go along with nukes for Israel, a country which is always so special in the eyes of God and, therefore, for evangelicals as well who are so ready to let Israel get on with it? Hasn’t that set a very bad example for other countries in the region and simply makes Iran, very understandably for their security, wanting nukes, too?
Why are quotes from the Bible being used to justify the extermination of civilians? “Utterly destroy” the Amalekites in my RSV Bible. The Bible Society argues this was an exaggeration and God did not really mean it. And not everyone would have been killed anyway. Or, it would have been only the fighters. But, no! See I Samuel 15 v 3.
Have there been any evangelicals arrested in London (there must have been; well done), so far, for holding up a piece of cardboard with the words:
“I OPPOSE GENOCIDE. I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION” ?
“Nearly 3,000 people (from 8 to 83 years last Saturday, I heard on Radio 4) have been arrested since the ban on Palestine Action was first imposed. Hundreds face charges.” From: https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/13/headlines/police_arrest_over_500_palestine_action_activists_in_london
