On Monday, thousands of Christians from every state in the union will gather in Washington, D.C. for the seventh annual Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Summit. CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the country, with well over one million members. And our Summit is one of the largest grassroots policy events held in DC. Yet we still often find ourselves laboring against anti-Christian myths that should long ago have been debunked.
Starting with the sublime and then working our way back to the merely ridiculous, we in CUFI continue to be accused of entering the political process to stand with Israel for the most outlandish of reasons: to speed Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus. Really? The very persistence of this claim demonstrates the prevalence of anti-Christian bias among significant segments of American opinion.
