That said, it seems sometimes that the lessons of the reformation have been forgotten. There are valid reasons to whole heartedly support the seperation of church and state. I don't believe that the Bible supports the pre-millenialist concept. I do believe that the political ties between partisan politics and the evangelical right smack heavily of what John the Revelator saw in his vision concerning the political nature of the beast and Babylon.

Absolutely! It's funny how you hear that as a kid and can't see how it could be true. And then, you see time passing and things changing and it starts looking like reality.

P.S. Don't some Jews think Israel is having such a hard time because the "Eretz Israel" people tried to force it's creation? (just asking)
