I just came across a post pointing out that anti-Maimonides Jews asked the Inquisition to help censor his work, resulting in the Talmud getting burned; and now I see this petition requesting that Trump help deal with Israel's institutionalized left:
I don't mean this as a warning, as I think this effort seizes upon a rare possibility, following up on Trump's continued insistence on Herzog pardoning Netanyahu. I'm just pointing out that Jews will always be forced to make these kinds of decisions.
@slooperbia50068 Not at all.
@slooperbia50068 What kinds of decisions could be influenced by eschatological considerations? What would they be doing differently? What "Armageddon" are we talking about? What will happen because of what? This is a distraction.
@slooperbia50068 Maybe they think it helps them to see themselves as Christian warriors.
@slooperbia50068 Don't believers have to think eschatologically?
@slooperbia50068 No doubt. Well, they should have a venue for complaining but I'm sure they'll do their duty.
@slooperbia50068 One could also say braver.
@slooperbia50068 Maybe, but more at the level of exhortation than strategy.
@slooperbia50068 Have I said that?
@slooperbia50068 OK, then. Why be anti-flat?
@slooperbia50068 I would say just keep taking out governing layers until you get to one willing to come to terms.
@slooperbia50068 I think they'll be fine.
