send these bible-thumping chucklefucks to the front

Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?

If they really think this is the End Of Time, why aren't they out there on the front lines?

These people are a danger to the rest of us. They are mentally unfit and lack basic decency.

Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?

-Edric, Guild Navigator - Dune Messiah

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”

They said the exact same thing about Iraq.

Hegseth already thought this when he got the job.

He’s insane and in charge enough without religious leaders anyway.

Christian Zionism is out of control, and a thread to modern society.

We're fucked.

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.

The crusades. But with nukes.

Religion is the greatest threat to peace and human well-being.

Make sure their children and/or grandchildren serve in the US infantry. Frontline duty only.

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

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

It's wild people are just realizing this literally decades into this far right group grooming jr politicians and incoming officers at every military academy...

It's like looking at your house on fire, flames leaping from every opening, and being concerned if your pillow is going to smell like smoke tonight.

Yeah, that would suck to smell smoke all night.

But the bigger issue is it smells like smoke, because it's been reduced to ash.

I'm not saying them pressuring trump isn't bad, I'm saying it's infinitly worse that over the last 30 years they've installed their people and had them recruiting peers the whole way.

It's not just "extremist Protestantism" it's the verbatim 1920 "second wave kkk" plan:

https://billofrightsinstitute.org/essays/the-ku-klux-klan-in-the-1920s/

And that's not the end game, that was what in sports is referred to as "rebuild years" where the focus was on growing membership and distancing from the hands on violence of lynching to systemic violence perpetuated thru legal but highly unethical means.

People really need to start learning this shit, it's honestly the same playbooks, we can easily tell where they're going, we just have to actually learn history.

The bad news is, we missed the off ramp they took last time:

Just as quickly as the Klan rose in membership and influence, however, it collapsed. There were many reasons. Some members were embarrassed by the organization’s bigotry, some by its silly regalia and ceremonies, or its money grubbing. Others were repulsed by its violence or its hypocrisy.

The Klan’s most fatal weakness was rooted in its poor leadership. The organization claimed to stand for morality, but its leaders provided the worst possible examples. For example, Edward Y. Clarke and Mary Elizabeth Tyler, the two Atlanta-based publicists who masterminded the Klan’s skyrocketing rise, were soon revealed to have been arrested in 1919 for sexual impropriety and possession of illegal alcohol. Then, with millions of dollars rolling in, infighting for control grew fierce, and Klan founder and Grand Wizard Col. William Simmons found himself ousted by Houston dentist Hiram W. Evans. Evans had allied himself with perhaps the Klan’s most successful personality, Indiana Grand Dragon David C. Stephenson. Stephenson, a former Socialist and a failed Democratic congressional candidate, had quickly engineered a Klan takeover of Indiana’s Republican Party. Clearly the most powerful man in Indiana, Stephenson (who said, “I am the law in Indiana”) viewed himself as a future senator and perhaps even president of the United States.

In April 1925, however, the 33-year-old Stephenson forced his aide, 28-year-old Madge Oberholtzer, onto a Chicago-bound train, where he assaulted and raped her. She attempted suicide, but her death a few weeks later was ruled to have followed from infection of the wounds Stephenson had inflicted on her. A jury found Stephenson guilty of rape, kidnapping, and second-degree murder.

If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.

People like this used to be institutionalized

“It’ll happen this time, I’m sure of if guys.”

It is so unlike for far-right religious leaders to side with pedophiles, I am very surprised.

… And it gives them all raging hard-ons.

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

MAGA is a pedofascist death cult.

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

Well if Iran has nothing to lose and the US thinks it’s the end times this is going to end so well…

so…. The Crusades 2: Electric Boogaloo

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.

I'm pretty sure that's how they justified the Crusades.

End Times, yes. But for the "US Empire".

Is this modern crusade three or four? I am losing track

The next logical step is obviously to kill their leadership, this worked very well in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia. Bastions of peace to this very day

Oops I have had a stroke

p.s. free one-way ticket for every Abrahamic faithful to the holy land, includes AR-15 and jug of gatorade.

Best money ever spent I tell you what

Further evidence, if any more were needed, that these pig-ignorant sisterfucking hucksters should be taxed for interfering in politics, and better yet, should be institutionalized.

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.

There's a name badge in that picture so I looked it up. Apparently Alveda King, MLK's niece, is on the board of "Black Voices for Trump". MLK must be rolling in his grave.

And he's just the addled shitbag to make it happen.

Far-right religious leaders should all be used for chum

MAGA and religious zealots are like two peas in a pod, ready to use fear, disinformation and wealth for their purpose of subjugation, oppression and even genocide.

trump won't see god in Iran but he will try to use him for his own advantage.

Oh god the news is just permanent satire

My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations

'the end is near' is key to the 10% tithe grift. same since i can remember. believer; what need money for, here.

So happy to send men and women to die and to kill innocent people. Let's give these proud Americans some guns, a tin hat and a water bottle and drop them into Iran! They may need a lot of bullet-proof suncream too.
