    No. The real reason is to keep an ally in the very Muslim middle east and because they believe that it’s a prerequisite for the rapture.

      At this point, I don’t think anyone involved believes in a loving God, or even a God that will punish sinners. Neither of them would want this.

        Oh, they figured their way out of that painted corner a long time ago. All they need is Matthew 5:17 and the Old Testament in order to justify any atrocity.

        Whenever they are tired of the whole love thy neighbor/turn the other cheek/cast no judgements side of Jesus, they just bring up Matthew: he didn’t come to DESTROY the OT law he came to FULFILL it!

        That’s all it takes to make it OK for them to smite enemies and hate people for their sexuality.
