And they base their life decisions, and votes, on that.

I think if was Flynn in the Trump admin that believed we were approaching the end times and so was trying to shape policy for Israel to help that along.

What do you do with those people?  They have a right to their beliefs.  They don't have a right to force them on everyone else.  

You are correct. As for doing something, you do the same thing you do with everyone else who is not like you. You accept it and move on. Nobody has a right to force their opinions on you, but as for those who do, don't hate the whole group. At least that's what I try to do. All-in-all, just try to prevent myself from stereotyping.

There in no real proof of historical Jesus either ( and I've nothing against the message again, I just don't like his fan club ).

Well, not all, but most. I think throwing stones at the prostitute was probably literal and personal stories of that kind (not all) hold weight. But yes, a majority is metaphor IMO.
