I have no doubt that he does.
Right. Rajk worships with his mouth just like he accuses everyone else of doing.

God's not done with Israel. If you don't know that then you're biblically ignorant.

I think his assertions show a kind of inclusive generosity of spirit towards a fellow 'people of the book'; I don't think they are convoluted.
You mean like when he states his hatred towards others?

Then you have to bear in mind that the Jews rejected Jesus and see him as a fake and an imposter. The country of Israel characterizes itself as the Jewish state.

When you say "Israel is God's country", which "God" are you talking about? The Christian one who you believe came down to Earth as Jesus, or are you talking about the Jewish God which, according to Jews, did not come down to Earth as Jesus?
There's only one God FMF.

I guess you weren't present when David Ben-Gurion addressed the United Nations. Here's a link to that speech.

It matters not whether one is a Jew or Greek or anything else. Jesus is available to all.

That statement is biblically incoherent.

I wonder whether or not you understand the difference between the Old and New Covenants.

And it's obvious you don't understand the difference between national Israel and the Christian church.

Why don't you take it a step further and blain queen Isabella and all of Spain for sponsoring Columbus?

Your disdain for America and Americans is repugnant. America is a great nation. I know because I've lived here my whole life. I wouldn't live anywhere else even if I could.

America has some real critical issues, but what country doesn't?

Your vitriolic denunciations are crude and immature.

It is quite interesting that Spain would be mentioned here: they did, after all, claim to be more or less the representation of Catholicism and thus the representation of God's will on Earth for much fo the 16th and 17th centuries.

However Spaniards view themselves now is not my business.

But it would be hard to imagine that there are not some very strong Catholic Spaniards who regard their own country as being 'God's country' in a way. This is not meant to say that they believe in a cartoon definition of this, but merely that they would believe it in the sense that they simply think their own country is a great, blessed place among other great, blessed places.

Would you say that there have been many great things that have come out of America over the last centuries -- things that are superior to the shady track record with native Americans?

It would be pretty easy to argue that that is the case, and it would also be easy to argue that , while not being perfect, we have very much contributed to the collective good of the world.

Wouldn't you say that the United States represents the sole hegemon today, and that it was massively influential since WWII and, to lesser degrees, before that..?
