    US was justifying its genocides in the middle-east by “they are religious extremists.” How much of it was projection?

    I wonder if that’s the key to Trump still being so popular among Protestant Christians after so much proof he’s as evil as it gets? That they see the only way out of the incredible mess the GOP (primarily) has made of the country and world is for the “End Times” to arrive, condemning everyone in the world except themselves and rapturing their gullible asses out of trouble.

    Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that’s influencing him makes it happen even faster.

    Imagine believing that your all powerful god is so weak that he has to wait on you to start the end of the world. Pathetic.

    I should have paid more attention and been more vocal. Every time those people came to my door telling me how everything was better when “god chose kings and leaders”, I should have had facts to refute them. Hopefully I will be able to in the future.

      If you invite them in and have an honest conversation with them they leave and never come back.

      I don’t think facts would have helped you. This isn’t something they reasoned their way into. You’re not going to reason them out.

    These dipshits always see everything in such stupid terms.

    I imagine a future where such people are sentenced to be put into VR where they could live out their sick eschatological fantasies. That’s unless some kind of therapy doesn’t come online for such people, as I think they have a (probably as of yet named or recognized) mental disorder

    Thats the entire cause of the world’s pains. Ignorant religious fools calling every conflict the end. If only it was the end of THEM, we could all rest easier

    Far right leaders want to see trump ignite armageddon, making him the antichrist.

    If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur." Revelations 14:9-11

    The mark on the forehead says “MAGA”

        Like the orcs from 40k hahaha 😂

        But I honestly have way more respect for the orcs. They at least got creative with their collective psychic abilities.
