From my sister, who is very Xtian, comes this interesting tidbit. She didn't think it was necessarily true, she said she could see both sides.

Personally, I think it's a really wacky article, and I just want to see what you all make of it.

Ah yes, the good Rebbi Lapin. We've run into him before. He is the Jerry Falwell of the Jewish faith.

I really like this quote:

"As a Jew, I regard the Bible Belt as the Jewish safety belt because I am not too crazy about the idea of Christendom being eliminated.

Christians brown-nosing Jews into heaven because they are Gods chosen people, is my take on that and is the reason why they are so generous.

Are you an American female working in Holland or are you just on vacation? Either way it must be nice (it is my home country).

Rabbi Lapin is a featured speaker at the Christian Coalition conventions. He's found himself a niche being the token Jew on the Christian Right. If he didn't exist, Pat Robertson would have had to invent him.
