I saw this Matrix meme when I first joined years ago and I didn't get it then

Could you explain it now?

You're right that there are people who claim to be Christians and are only doing so to deceive their followers. As for me, I do not turn to a mortal for salvation, but I trust in the Lord Jesus - And yes, I think he likes cats.

There's a pattern to it, like how a number of us can recognize Socks just by how and what he writes, I've noticed I can tell if someone is Jewish by what they write on Twitter. It's usually bloodthirsty things, indifference to suffering, or comments that advocate for positions that seem like they're generally destructive to society like feminism or atheism. Stereotypical stuff Jews get accused of.

It's pretty easy to confirm by their position on Palestine, there's only two types of people who support what's going on, and one are right wing Christians who believe Israel must hold the holy land for the second coming to happen, but they come across differently.

Or my brain is just melting down on a high pain day -- and the last couple days have been doozies. Whatever is going on it seems to affect everything including my mind, or maybe that's just tangentially related.

I'm sure there are lots of garden variety neocons who don't necessarily believe in the second coming thing.

Maybe, although I've been accused of being a war mongering neocon and I see no benefit of attacking the Palestinian people to the US. They don't really get along that well with their muslim neighbors, and they're too poor and weak to be a threat.

Still, regardless of the exact reasons, there's a different pattern to people who support the war for reasons other than benefitting Israel. It's more abstract, less visceral hate.

I'm sorry you were in pain and pray you would receive relief from that.

Many Christians are immature and do not yet understand the spirit they are of, wanting to destroy their enemies rather than love their enemies. Jesus rebuked his own disciples for wanting to call down fire from heaven to consume their enemies.

There are many Jews that are also immature, and they do not even believe in the first coming of the Lord, whom they crucified.

And then there is the synagogue of Satan who like to blame their atrocities on the true believers, even calling themselves Jews or Christians, when they are clearly not. Do not get these three groups confused. God's adversary pretends to be religious, but under that sheep's clothing is a ravenous wolf.
