    Well, the previous theory they held was that God redirected this bullet away from the great and holy warrior Trump and into an evil and unrepentant volunteer firefighter at his rally.

    But even they are finding that harder to believe every day.

      One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

      The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

          The Greek gods did quite enjoy playing with the mortals for their own, often sadistic, entertainment. Trump is probably their favorite comedic character in the currently ongoing production.

            I’m pretty sure the only chill gods in Greek mythology are Hephaestus, Hades and Persephone, and weirdly enough Dionysus since he is just the god of sex, drugs, and rock and roll also crippling madness.

              I mean have you heard stories from the 60s-70s? I’m thoroughly convinced the only reason this isn’t part of the slogan is it wouldn’t fit on a shirt.

                Honestly yeah. Fun fact I’ve on more than one occasion have considered making lore for a Slaaneshi Ultramarine warband based on the Dionysian Mysteries with some 1970s aesthetics mixed in. Haven’t quite gotten how I’d want them to look down though.

              Ares, while of course being the god of War, was never accused of being a rapist, but he did murder someone trying to rape his daughter.

                Based and dad pilled Ares. Fun fact he was also married to Warlike Aphrodite over in Sparta, which explains why perpetual cheat is part of both of their characters given how Athenians were the ones writing things down.
