Just makes it seem like we are moving closer and closer to the "The Chrysalids" timeline. Just need a nuclear war for some mutants.
Why the fuck would I want to worship a god that sends Donald Trump as his prophet?
They can all go get fucked
And when Trump wins they'll know God answered their prayers.
why does this death cult want the government so bad?
So they can spread Jesus's message of love and peace.... or else!
Korean Jesus would just kick the Door down
Well he hasn’t managed to get off that cross yet so I have my doubts…
Did they not pray hard enough to keep the hurricanes away? What makes them think it will work for them this time?
Something tells me these Christians wouldn't actually follow a middle eastern Jewish apocalyptic magician prophet if one appeared today, more likely they're interested in following supply-side Jesus
And don't forget the grand irony of Zionism. The people currently being genocided out of Palestine actually have a much closer genetic relationship to the actual Biblical Hebrews that the people genociding them. The people who formed modern Zionism were mostly the descendants of people who converted to Judaism during its more evangelical phases. The historical events like Rome conquering Judea didn't actually expel the vast majority of the population, mainly just some of its leaders and intellectuals. Most of the historical Hebrews remained in Palestine, and they mostly converted to Islam over the centuries. Zionism can largely be approximated as the destruction and displacement of the actual descendants of historical Israel by people who later converted to Judaism. The Palestinians have a much, much closer genetic relationship to the people that Jesus would have been interacting with regularly than the average IDF soldier does today.
They absolutely don't follow the teachings of Bible Jesus. None of them believe in true charity and tolerance which was all I learned from being raised on the stuff.
the death cult needs their anti-christ so the rapture can happen
simple
But it still doesn't make sense. If they want this to happen and believe he will usher in their revelations, then they also understand they will be damned and will never get into heaven.
Their pastor didn't mention that part, and they clearly don't read the Bible themselves.
I mean, she was great in Ugly Betty and all, but I don’t really see what she needs to atone for.
Psychos.
People don’t seem to get that trump is their god.
Just gonna point out the obvious here but...
It's so bizarre to me that someone could possibly look at Trump and think "yep, this is a godly man who is going to save us from the forces of evil".
As always, the Bible lets them think two things at once.
King David had a good man killed so David could grab his wife.
Noah was a drunk.
Lot was a drunk who slept with his daughters.
God uses bad men to give his divine message.
Could it be because God is a bad man?
Nope.
Because god is a woman. Prove me wrong.
(Heh, still not good, though.)
God was invented in our own image. The predominant culture that invented the Abrahamic god was patriarchal. As a reflection of that culture, god is a man. QED, bitches.
prove it.
I say god was a crossdressing woman with a fake beard and a horribly fake Scottish accent. (okay. I'd watch that movie...)
God is made in my image, and I'm not a crossdressing woman with a fake beard and horribly fake Scottish accent. Check and mate.
Wait I though that Lot was raped by his daughters, admittedly after getting piss drunk.
So you're saying he's a drunk who had nonconsensual sex with his daughters?
In that they raped him, yes.
Yeah, I was aiming for technically correct.
Like the Bible says, the anti Christ is Godly.
Also John 3:16 is a perfect call out.
"Similarly, in the end times, the evil False Prophet will cause everyone, regardless of social or economic status, to choose whether to receive a mark on the right hand and on the forehead. This mark will identify the recipients as belonging to the kingdom of the beast."
Kinda like a MAGA hat huh?
Knock yourself out, pray as hard as you want.
Trump is a false prophet, god is a superstition
Religions are delusions, and basing your political views on religion, means your political views are based on delusions.
But as a Christian to support Trump is crazy. There is no doubt that Jesus would oppose Trump strongly, for his inhumane denial to help the poor and the sick. For instance being against raising minimum wage, and against healthcare for all.
What, Jesus wasn't a rich, boasting, powerhungry pussy grabber??!
He did seem to hang out with an awful lot of rich people, though.
