It's ridiculous and the whole internet is like this. There are Nazis, WNs, Zionists, Islamophobs, closed-minded atheists (as opposed to neutral open minded ones), anti Abrahamic religions, etc.
No mention of Christians being closed minded?
Hmm possible right wing christian.

Yep, passerby had a go at Protestant Christians, but left out the Catholic Christian, some who are fundy xtian zionist and dislike any other forms of Christianity.
Is Christianity not an Abrahamic religion? I thought it would cover all of them.
The Catholic church is corrupt beyond belief I cannot argue with that, however, there aren't a lot of Catholic Zionists. Christian Zionists mostly come from Protestant fundy and evangelical sects since the theology is open to interpretation and they don't take orders from
il Papa. Catholics aren't compatible with Zionism. They probably exist and they're not really Catholic if they do.
What’s the Catholic Position?
As far as the millennium goes, we tend to agree with Augustine and, derivatively, with the amillennialists. The Catholic position has thus historically been "amillennial" (as has been the majority Christian position in general, including that of the Protestant Reformers), though Catholics do not typically use this term. The Church has rejected the premillennial position, sometimes called "millenarianism" (see the Catechism of the Catholic Church 676). In the 1940s the Holy Office judged that premillennialism "cannot safely be taught," though the Church has not dogmatically defined this issue.
With respect to the rapture, Catholics certainly believe that the event of our gathering together to be with Christ will take place, though they do not generally use the word "rapture" to refer to this event (somewhat ironically, since the term "rapture" is derived from the text of the Latin Vulgate of 1 Thess. 4:17—"we will be caught up," [Latin: rapiemur]).
