    American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.

      seriously, as long as believing in gods and shit isn’t seen as the mental disorder it is in the whole world, humanity will never drag itself out this swamp of stupidity we are currently in.

    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.

        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.

            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’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 these people don’t have the capacity to consider

      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.

        They’re doing some sort of prayer, I’d guess something along the lines of “God let this man be your vessel to help achieve the glory of the kingdom of heaven on earth”

        You know, kind of like asking a wolf to bring about a vegan paradise on earth

          No, he is exposing America for what it has always been. What he is doing to the interior of the empire is what this country has been doing to the global south for over a century.

          America has never been the “Good Guy”™ willingly.

              I will just be happy knowing that the American hegemony is ending even if I never get to see what comes after.

                  They have for much longer and more consistently shared the fruits of those trees when they aren’t being manipulated by social forces that condition them to compete with each other for readily available resources.

                  Humans are a communal species by nature. We only need to encourage that nature instead of continuing to allow a small subsection of the population to abuse it.

    Known dominionist doing extremist shit; once all the Muslims are gone the Christians are supposed to kill the Jews. Then Jesus returns. These people actually believe this and will use it as their justification to drag us all down with them.

    What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God’s divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.

      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.
