Someone who believes that greed, war, torture, Big Business, and depriving
people of freedom are examples of following
Jesus' commandment to "
love your neighbor as yourself." Sometimes they place greater value on the Constitution of the United States than the
Bible, and use it as an excuse for patriotism (a form of idolatry) and cutting government programs which help the poor. They claim they believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, yet they believe in "the Rapture," which is not a very literal interpretation. Often, they think they can "rush" the Second Coming of Christ by promoting war in the Middle East.
I saw this televangelist on
TV, who
said that bombing the Middle
East was God's will, and that sending him money will save me from my sins.
