Podem não ser os alucinados da
Aryan Brotherhood; mas não deixam de corresponder, em quase todos os quesitos, à minha definição de malucos extremistas de direita. Acreditem ou não, os rebanhos cristãos mais literais nas suas interpretações bíblicas contam com Israel para
apressar a segunda vinda de Cristo. E isto não se resume a meia dúzia de ratos de sacristia entretidos em masturbações supersticiosas: o apoio da comunidade evangélica americana a Israel envolve milhões de dólares e um incansável esforço de
lobbying.
Se calhar, esta tribo até apoia mais activamente Israel do que muitos judeus americanos, de lealdades já
diluídas por incontáveis casamentos com
goyim e pela distância a que jaz um pequeno estado belicoso que nada tem a ver com as suas histórias familiares.

No caso americano, vem de um segmento de cristãos evangélicos sionistas por razões teológicas, que vêm Israel como um dos passos necessários na histórica futura (Israel, por sinal, será destruída nesta visão) após o Apocalipse onde se dá a subida aos céus (rapture), o que torna a coisa mesmo esquisita.
Coisa que por sinal não é nada católica do ponto vista teológico.

"There are three basic views of the final judgment. The first view, called amillennialism, is common to most European church traditions. It teaches that Christ will return bodily in final judgment at the end of the era of the church, which is the end of time. The church will never attain universal dominance in history. There will be no literal millennium of a thousand years of cultural and political rulership by the saints of God. On the contrary, reign by evil-doers is to be expected. Christianity will be one position among many in a world characterized by sin, i.e., the same old same old. The position is called amillennialism because it forecasts no literal millennium preceding the final judgment.
Postmillennialism is a narrowly held position which teaches that there will be a worldwide era of Christian dominance prior to Christ's second coming. This position was held by some of the English Puritans of the Civil War era of Oliver Cromwell (1642–60). It was also held by many Scottish Calvinists in the same era. It was held by New England Puritans prior to the restoration of Charles II to the throne in 1660. Jonathan Edwards defended the position a century later. So did many Presbyterians in the nineteenth century, especially those associated with Princeton Theological Seminary. The term postmillennial refers to the timing of the second coming: post-millennial, i.e., after a long reign by the saints.
The most widely held view among fundamentalists is a variant of premillennialism. This view teaches that Christ will return to earth in order to establish a worldwide kingdom. He will return bodily in full power to rule mankind with a rod of iron. The final judgment will take place one thousand literal years after Christ's bodily return; hence, the term pre-millennial, i.e., a return before the millennium. This view has had defenders in the church almost from the beginning, but it has rarely been dominant.
Modern fundamentalism has adopted a variant of premillennialism that was first taught in 1830. It is called dispensationalism. This view teaches that Christ will return invisibly to "rapture" – a word not found in the Bible – every Christian into heaven. Then Christ will return to set up a worldwide kingdom that will last a thousand years.
As to the timing of this visible return, dispensationalists are divided into three camps. The dominant group teaches that He will return after seven years, three and a half of which will involve horrendous tribulation. This tribulation will be applied to the State of Israel. This view is called pre-tribulational: the removal of Christians from the world before the Great Tribulation that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24. There is also a small group of post-tribulationists. They teach that Christians will go through this tribulation. It will not be limited to Israelis. Those Christians who survive will then be translated to heaven by Christ, who will stay behind to set up his earthly kingdom. There is a tiny group of mid-tribulationists, who see Christians removed from the world three and a half years before Christ returns to set up His kingdom."
