"Kathy Tyers and the Eternal Mutant Super Jew"

If you want to read a pathological evangelical novel, I suggest you pick up Kathy Tyers's Firebird series, a truly scary piece of writing. In this "trilogy" of novels, a spacefaring race of allegorical Jews breaks up into two groups -Messianic, soon-to-be-Christian Jews (the Sentinels) and the Shuhr, evil secular Jews who abort "babies", conduct genetic engineering experiments and are generally very nasty telepaths (the whole Jew as telepath theme that we've talked about earlier). What is sad is that Tyers's seems to be unconscious of her racism and indeed in other works proudly proclaims herself to be an opponent of eugenics-based thinking. Yet, why is it always the non-Christian Jews that end up getting killed off in Christian novels? I realize premillenial dispensationalists may not be able to help this, but it's depressing none the less.
