You wrote, "Every faith has its political quarrels, such as the one that resulted in the ascension of Hanukah to a major holiday." (underlined by me for emphasis). Second, the questions assumed that I believed the things you stated, or that it was necessary to believe those things to want Jerusalem to be Israel's capital. Third, Jerusalem is already politicized by the mere fact that Jews control it. Moreover, it is Israel's capital. The problem is that the Arabs don't want to recognize that, because they don't want to recognize Israel. Fourt, I don't give a rat's patootie for what the Evangelical want. I care about truth and history. Is it really your fear that some right wing nut group is going to start a nuclear war over Jerusalem? That's hysterics.
