I'm not religious, but I'm fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.
Trump is the antichrist.
You think that makes him more christian or less?
I agree, but stahp it.
you'll just feed his ego.
Actually
The 'logic' is that God has often used imperfect men to carry out his mission. Noah was a drunk, Lot slept with his daughters, and King David murdered a man so he could have the widow.
No matter what Donnie does, he is anointed because they say so
Yeah, that's why I gave up religion years ago.
Bless you, my child
Wonder how many times God tried to convince someone to do a thing and they just kinda… didn’t. Never read the Bible, but I don’t imagine many stories of unredeemed goat fornicators or greedy merchants end up sticking around.
I feel like that was one of the best parts of the Greeks. Their gods fucked up constantly, and everyone knew it. Fate is a flip of a coin, and so were the deities they worshiped
I think that's why a lot of the pagan religions had trickster gods like Loki.
They decided to cut the story of kid Jesus pushing people off roofs then bringing them back to life after people got mad.
He liked to play stone the adulturer.
Read "The Gospel According to Biff" by Christopher Moore.
So we’ve got Noah as Secretary of Defense and Lot as President. I’m guessing King David’s job is whatever Stephen Miller does.
Did him bring the living environment of all 7 deadly sins give it away?
The worst people in America are running this country. There needs to be a reckoning for these shit bags.
There will not be
Oh yes. Yes, there will be.
And who is going to make it happen exactly?
If Jesus came back today maga would re-crucify him for being to woke.
And brown
He might already be here... And in an ICE holding cell
Jesus? Go back to mexico, that carpenter job is for Americans only!
Some brown guy talking about loving your neighbour and caring for the less fortunate? It's downright unamerican!
That’s why I don’t believe Jesus will come back, he must be afraid of to be crucified again.
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.
It reads like those people are living in a parallel universe. Or are they just memeing?
Turn back, we all made a horrible mistake.
In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and is widely regarded as a "bad move."
And there you have it folks... War is Peace... as decreed by Jebus himself
I want every American to stop and listen.
If you thought that the US military was going to save us at the last minute from this orange pedophile and his pedophile posse, ask yourself this.
trick question. it doesn't matter what your answer is, they're still not coming to save us.
prepare yourselves.
All the “good ones” in military brass already resigned anyway. From the first reports of those actions last year, I’ve been saying it’s a mistake to leave things in the hands of sycophants alone, when instead people of decent conscience could be in there sabotaging. But alas, here we are.
I wonder what all those "retired" moral, knowledgeable, competent, experienced officers are doing? Are they just sipping margaritas on the veranda, not worried about the fate of the nation they carefully protected for decades? Or are they in touch with each other?
I wouldn't know, I haven't heard a thing. Nothing. Nada. It's almost like NOBODY is talking about that 800 pound gorilla in the room.
Maybe they were secretly assassinated. Or it's my nation right or wrong, only legal means kind of people.
Or they are preparing a coup.
Grabs popcorn
I always took it as, even if half the military quit, choosing their own conscience over this BS, there's still half the military left to follow orders even if it means killing children
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!
So this is a war between theocracies.
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.
You might be thinking of Jesus' abusive dad
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.
@Sterile_Technique @return2ozma
Plague, posh... Melania and Milller.
So you are saying he cheated
@return2ozma
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"
Any chance on getting these officers named and a date for when they were promoted to their current positions?
And suddenly wars in the name of religion aren't Bad anymore. How the turntables.
I'm an atheist, but I would be willing to start believing if those assholes were cooked in hell for all eternity in return.
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.
It trump was anointed by jesus, I feel validated in my past 35 years of being an athiest.
Thusly validating everything I've said about religion and the dumbass military. Fuck off with this "thank you for your service" validation.
[nasal voice over intercom] Has patient number 13 reveived his sedatives yet?
God's plan. Ha ha, tell me another one while you're at it.
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
That’s also not how lions work.
I mean if it is I don't expect to ascend into heaven or anything but jeez I sorta feel I deserve a quick, clean, painless death. I mean common.
Woo! Christian holy war!
Bigly!
yes, that's why evangelical leaders like Trump. They believe him to be the antichrist who bring about the rapture.

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.
Divine right to land is an Israelite and other Levant tribes religious tradition. Christ had different philosophies, but at the same time, that Divine right to land applies only to Levant.
The only possible source of Noah's flood, also the only possible location of Atlantis, was in 6200bc where a potentially advanced (relatively) civilization lived on a dry Persian Gulf. Ice age glacier recession flooded this area but somewhat slowly. For one side, Sumeria (which advanced in this period) was closest high ground, and "Shem"ite population grew from there and moved down to Levant over 4000 year span. The Persian/Zoroastrian side has a more accurate hard winter and melting ice "flooding myth" that is also a less cruel God in a "survival of the fittest" migration from the Gulf Oasis.
Even Greater Israel "theory" stops at Iran border with Iraq, and there exists no possible twisting of Christianity's pure devoted love for Israel, that can place a signal fire in Iran.

He never listens...
He wasn't anouted, he was annoyed.
Insofar as everything is god's plan if you believe that. Just like AIDS in newborns, children with leukemia, or Iran having a fundamentalist ruling class.
Annoying Ted! He's famous now!
