Ever wonder why so many Christians support America's many wars, especially in the Middle East? A new Christianity has emerged from the Twentieth Century called Christian Zionism or what could be called, "Angry Evangelicalism," or "Dispensationalism on Steroids." What motivates a nationally known, evangelical preacher like John Hagee to call for a preemptive strike against Iran when it is contrary to what Jesus taught and commanded his followers to do?

This "Roots of Zionism" presentation may be the first of its kind with a factual explanation of how Christianity's latest apostate epidemic was launched with the publishing of C. I. Scofield's reference Bible in 1909, and the influence of the notes in it. While purposefully reaching and helping many under Christian Zionist influence by featuring its identification and cure, this 2nd edition offers hope to all people, regardless of faith, who may also wish to leave it's grasp. Film clips include action inside Gaza Strip and a moving interview with Shareen, a young Palestinian woman living in Gaza.

Evangelical culture has more problems than Christian Zionism. As Ezra Pound lamented, they stripped the classics out of our educational system out of a desire to censor. Bad ideas must be crushed like snakes, according to the Evangelical type. Perhaps the worst idea is dominionism, such that in order to be blessed as a nation one must put the Old Testament God into all things education, government, and foreign policy. No self-determination is permitted unless it is for the good of the Christian community. This is what the 10 Commandments movement was all about.

A revolution today would be overtaken by Christian Evangelicals within and without the Establishment who would reinstall a Zionist government in the name of Christ. God's covenant with the Jews would mean that they would continue to be blessed with positions of authority in our banks, schools, and foreign policy centers. No conservative talk show host from Medved to Limbaugh would complain.
