So once again, what I'm hearing, is a bunch of morally destitute "Christians" came up with a bullshit narrative to unite the Judean world against muslims and draw tax dollars for something they pretty much made up for profit.

Which doesn't make any sense since early jews wanted Jesus crucified for heresy. So why on earth would they built a temple for the supposed false messiah to return. And yet this retarded ideology seems to be guiding US foreign policy today.
