    Some of those people have fully crossed into fantasy land and urgently need professional help (although I’m not sure either Israel or the US are the best places to find support for those who have gone away in the religious nutty realm).

    Holy shit. The Christian version of the 1979 Iranian Revolutionary Guard has risen. God is not with MAGA.

    And when St Peter reads Mike Huckabee the chronicle of his pig-ignorant hate-mongering life, Mike will soon become very familiar with Hell.

    What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Michigan. Are they also blessed by God’s divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.

      Don’t assume logical coherence matters to those whackjobs.

      Words, to them, are not to convey meaning. They’re like squid ink to obscure that they’re really up to.

      That there is that annoying ‘truth’ thing they have done away with. Without it its all ‘just your opinion man’ and the one who shouts their opinion loudest wins.

    Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.

    I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!

    That is some weird shit.

      jfc, would someone please dom this man already and help him get all the bootlicking out of his system in a healthy way that doesn’t jeporadize international affairs.

      In all seriousness though, this is sad as fuck. What a pathetic waste of flesh and bone.

      That’s some hardcore toadying. If it didn’t have such nasty real-worl consequences, it’d also be comical, since Trump clearly regards fundies as suckers.

      You know, I didn’t think this was WW3 yet. I thought this was going to escalate proxy wars and spread fear across the globe at a scale we haven’t seen since the height of the Cold War, but… the President just quoted an Ambassador in Jerusalem asking for a thermonuclear World War in God’s name.

        I wonder if he’s one of those believers that the destruction of Israel will usher in the end times and Jesus’ return to earth and has the biggest boner right now over escalating this conflict.

          I’m pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I’m pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one’s own will is a one way ticket strait down.

            Those arrogant fucks think they can force God’s hand.

            Incidentally, most of their end-times beliefs were made up in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It’s all a bunch of shitty fanfic from mentally unstable cultists. As opposed to mainstream Christianity, which is based on fanfic from deranged cultists from the first to fifth centuries AD, plus a bit of window-dressing added in the late Middle Ages.

            I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.

            They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.

              It is not those who hear the law, but those who do the law, who shall be delivered.

              It’s astonishing how many self-professed Christians straight-up ignore Romans 2.

              Epictetus puts it even better though:

              Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don’t talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation. And when persons came to him and desired to be recommended by him to philosophers, he took and- recommended them, so well did he bear being overlooked. So that if ever any talk should happen among the unlearned concerning philosophic theorems, be you, for the most part, silent. For there is great danger in immediately throwing out what you have not digested. And, if anyone tells you that you know nothing, and you are not nettled at it, then you may be sure that you have begun your business. For sheep don’t throw up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten; but, inwardly digesting their food, they outwardly produce wool and milk. Thus, therefore, do you likewise not show theorems to the unlearned, but the actions produced by them after they have been digested.

              It’s the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn’t matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that’s a borderline scholarly argument this people don’t have the capacity to consider

                Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable, but they are Christians too.

                Your religion is evil and always has been.

                  I’m not Christian so I don’t really have a skin in the game but insofar as I’m still Lutheran: No, those people aren’t Christian. Well, actual Lutherans would never say it like that but talk about “people regrettably being in grave error” but same difference.

                  Point being is that you can’t profess to follow a religion if you ignore core tenets. You can’t be a dancer if you never dance. And you can’t be a Christian if your creed boils down to “Jesus was too woke”.

                  Your religion is evil and always has been.

                  Christianity has always been self-righteous and arrogant (see the Lutheran “charity” above), but that’s not the same as evil – otherwise the French would also be inherently evil. They can, indeed, be quite rad on occasion.

    Iran should definitely be nuked if only for their lack of proper respect for Islamic faith.
