I think there's certainly a strong scriptural case for that. For example, if "the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death," it's hard to imagine people passing out of existence for eternity

As a non-believer, I always thought annihilationism seemed pretty fair (as I had no expectation of life after death). Eternal torment just doesn't seem compatible with anything you can reasonably understand as love (and there are answers to that, but I don't know that any are convincing)

There is something to be written about the shadow Foucault that exists in the right-wing imagination. The features/ideas they pick up on/focus on are peculiar (it's a very similar process with Marx I think)

But I think it's a good point you make that they should be challenged for the *other* antisemitism they're bound to have, because there really isn't a great *within evangelical Christianity* argument against the more annoying/harmful missionary stuff

And I (from outside of both these groups) have come to the conclusion that Christianity has some basically supersessionist elements (maybe some ultra progressive types can surpass that) and that it's best to just try to discourage the most direct types

Living in Boro Park, it has been interesting to note occasional missionaries/aggressive mailings to neighbors (though still fairly rare).

There's also a group of cloistered nuns in the neighborhood who pray for "the salvation of the Jews"

Both supersessionists, of course, but one does more harm

I find this remarkable, how unchanging things have been since late recession/Obama 2nd term starting.

I was someone who thought covid might change that (in like '20-'21) but it didn't really at all

Would it surprise you to know that the evil Greek mummy who owns it is close friends with Donald Trump?

There is a pretty healthy "Free Zone" scientology world (basically scientology protestantism) and spurns the church.

In scientology lingo they're "squirrels" and taken to be basically satanic
