My guess would be all of them, but some just accept the theological mental gymnastics that since the Jews rejected him, they lost their brownie points with God, blah blah blah.
What percentage that is I’m not sure, but among evangelicals, probably still a minority.
But Carlson’s working on that! Dragging the (at least somewhat) enlightened Christians back into the Jew-hating Dark Ages, on behalf of the still-in-the-Jew-hating-Dark-Ages Muslims!

I fear you are right, Liz.
That in this age there should still be the superstitions of organized religion is an indictment of our species.

Religion survives because of its emotional appeal. That’s why I don’t think it will ever entirely die out. There will always be people who think with their emotions.

Yes, you’re right. As Thomas Paine said of the gospel “fable” in “The Age of Reason” -
“There are…many who have been so enthusiastically enraptured by what they concieved to be the infinite love of God to man, in making a sacrifice of himself, that the vehemence of the idea has forbidden and deterred them from examining into the absurdity and profaneness of the story. The more unnatural anything is, the more it is capable of becoming the object of dismal admiration.”

Yes, Jesus both gave himself as a human sacrifice (against Jehovah’s ruling) and was sacrificed by the Jews who asked (in Matthew) to be held guilty of his death forever. He “died” and “rose again”. Bodily, into “heaven”. With his clothes on. And millions believe all that and very much more absurdity connected with the “son of God”. Even that God is three persons, yet Christianity is a “monotheism”. No end to the nonsense.

I see that Nick Fuentes likes the Inquisition (inter alia). I looked him up in Wikipedia where he has a very long entry.

Yes very interesting!
He seems to be as dumb and crazy as Kanye West. Which makes me wonder if he isn’t just a fraud like Carlson, only to a more extreme degree.
The things he said on Jan.6, about going “into the capitol”, were similar to what Ray Epps said, who was working for the Feds, I’m convinced. And he was never arrested, either. So paid by leftist Feds to make Trump supporters look like “insurrectionists”?
He certainly does a good job at giving the “America First” movement a bad name.
