    Evangelicals have pretty much owned the military, at least since the 80s. It’s particularly bad in the Air Farce.

    We can’t seriously put people who believe in this nonsense in charge of real world things.

    I’d say it will be fun to point and laugh at them when they are proven to be stupidly wrong, just like every other end of days bullshit, but sadly when it doesn’t work out like they are psychotically convinced it will, you know the whole easter bunny coming back and bringing the righteous armageddon thing, they will just throw the nuclear football and pretend it was all par for the course. We all get to die for their selfish and idiotic faith, neat, huh?

    Remember, don’t bother hiding when you hear that the bombs are coming, nothing can save you from the white hot atonement, you’ll have just enough time to make a coffee, pet the cat, and maybe watch an episode of your favorite show. It won’t hurt.

    I’m not religious, but I’m fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.

    You can imagine the Hollywood style promo. “First we had the Crusades for the Holy Land. Now Trump seeks to return the holy oil to the home of Christ. The U-S-A”

        Well to be fair, he was also his dad. And a ghost. And wine. And… crackers? Regardless, being both his dad and a ghost meant that any time Jesus jacked it, he was committing incestuous necrophilia. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    “Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans." - Douglas Adams

    Turn back, we all made a horrible mistake.

    A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer. From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

      Trump, the man who literally embodies the 7 deadly sins, is the anointed of God - yea that totally checks out.

        I’m starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.

        Anything to bring about the end.

          It’s a super common trope in Mormon offshoot cults at least, to believe you’ve been put here by god to bring about the end times. Of course those people always believe they’re “one of the good ones” that will be let into heaven when it’s all said and done. It’s honestly frightening how common this line on thinking is among Christians, how normalized it’s become.

    And Rabbi Kaduri predicted Netanyahu would be the last Prime Minister and instructed him to fulfill the prophecy by defeating Persia/Iran to bring the Messiah: ‘Behold, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; it does not lie down until it consumes prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.’ Crazies running the world

    Religion is a mix of mass delusion and propaganda, period.

    Oh and great look btw, killing the Ayatollah (who, like it or not, is both a political and religious leader to many in Iran and around the world), and then immediately depicting it as a holy war… Great plan, Magastan!

    Definitely won’t be used to further indoctrinate lost souls with nothing to lose into radical extremist groups all over the world!

      Yes. A holy war. What better tool to indoctrinate the unwashed masses to fight for the billionaire class?

      The world is far less safe because of actions and words like this.

      I think we should expect a new wave of Islamist terrorism in the West as a response to the invasion of Iran and the killing of political and religious leaders, because their useful idiots also like to believe in holy wars.
