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.
They really believe that Jesus is going to beam their fat asses up to the mother ship. These people are scary.
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.
MAGA is a pedofascist death cult.
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
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
We’re fucked.
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”
Which everyone else reads as an “L”.
Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?
They collectively believed in it so much that they manifested him into reality without realizing
Yes. Also, giant man-faced scorpions wearing solid gold hats will climb out of the Earth to eat the unfaithful.
UNCANNY FORESIGHT
(not a joke, really says that. tax free. They don’t have to pay taxes for this shit)
They believe they’re too faithful to fall for that of course. It’s the empathetic who are antichrists.
These people are a danger to the rest of us. They are mentally unfit and lack basic decency.
Make sure their children and/or grandchildren serve in the US infantry. Frontline duty only.
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
Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?
-Edric, Guild Navigator - Dune Messiah
The mechanism of religion as a weapon never changes: controlling the public through fear and using said fear to extract power and wealth.
If you really want to understand power, religion and wealth one need look no further than Henry VIII’s Tudor court and Thomas Cromwell with his scheme to rob all the sacred religious Abbeys of England and take their wealth establishing a brand new made up religion. It’s the point in history where the veneer of religion was stripped away and left in its place were the people who had been using it casting all airs aside and start directly controlling people by simply killing and torturing enough of them.
