Bob Johnson – The Deist Henry Jones, M.D. is a strong believer in people helping themselves and only embracing rational altruism and sacrifice and not blind altruism and sacrifice. He articulates this important point very well in his eBook Psychological Evolution and the Invention of Evil: A Scientific Exposition.

A recent poll shows how Dr. Jones is right. The Bloomberg Politics Poll of Democrats, Republicans and independents shows that 45% of Americans believe the US should support the Jewish state of Israel “even if our interests diverge.” They believe in putting the interests of Israelis and Israel above the interests of Americans and America. This is amazing and very dangerous for Americans, America and the world.

When a nation as powerful as the US puts the interests of a foreign nation that is based on the religious violence promoting Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, as Israel is, above all else including its own well-being, only bad things can happen. Bad things such as the US turning a blind eye to Israel’s aggression against its neighbors; Israel’s religious violence in the form of the decades old growing illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land; the cowardly Israeli sneak attack on the USS Liberty which killed 34 American sailors and Marines and wounded 171 others; the Jewish state’s murdering American citizens as it did Rachel Corrie and Furkan Dogan; Israel possessing and growing a stockpile of nuclear weapons of mass destruction and a fleet of submarines to use for delivery virtually anywhere on our globe of these very real nuclear weapons, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseam.

A major reason so many Americans believe the US should put Israel above its own interests no matter how many lives or how many US tax dollars it costs is because millions of Christians believe the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the New Testament are God’s Word. They don’t stop and think with the innate reason God gave them. If they did, they would realize these books are not written or inspired by God, they are merely the writings of ancient Hebrews/Jews. That is why they teach the lie that God chose the Jews “above all people that are upon the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6). That is why they teach that God will destroy any Gentile nation that will not serve the Jewish state of Israel (Isaiah 60:12). The list goes on and on.
