Joel Berry and the Babylon Bee have been some of the most vocal Christian Zionists with cache in Reformed circles and Conservative Inc. Predictably, Joel Berry has been a leading voice against Christian Nationalism, in the same vein as James Lindsay. After spending several months trotting out the label “woke right” against people who refuse to go woke for Jews, Berry has a new label.
Joel Berry alludes to Stephen Wolfe and ties Evangelical morality to support to Israel. Evangelical Dark Web has long noted that Christian figures devoted to Zionism are actually bad on several other issues. A good example of this is Richard Land of Christian Post, who promotes amnesty. We can also look at Ted Cruz and his support for gay rights. Indeed, a great trend has been documented this year where people believe that Israelis can have blood and soil nationalism but not Americans.
Evangelicals are the best voting bloc in spite of historic support for Israel, and this is not about to change, even though this support is plummeting, as Netanyahu acknowledges.
Ultimately, the label “pagan” is being applied because emergent Christian voices are not praying to the Wall. They are called pagan for not having preferential treatment towards Joel Berry’s favored pagan religion. It’s projection and hypocrisy.

The same people who want unfettered pagan migration to the USA act like “pagan” is a slur to them. Same as women who are pro-LGBTQP+ but then call a guy who asks them out “gay” if they aren’t attracted to him. So small hats are literally spiritually women.
