This is exactly why there needs to be a separation between church and state. How can you trust someone to run the country, when all their decisions are grounded in magical thinking?

Main-charactering. Obviously it has to happen during their lifetime because otherwise it would mean they're just as unimportant as the rest of us.

If you say the things these people say, but in Arabic, they are indistinguishable from bin laden, Khomeini, KSM, and all the other religious extremists that the US fears.

I don't want to hear anyone ever again try to tell me that women can't be good leaders because they are too emotional or delusional. Look at this weirdo.

According to the Bible, there will be some sort of ultimate showdown between good and evil when the world ends. “Good” is preordained to win. Therefore, some religious nuts think that by helping the world to end, they’re helping fulfill god’s plan.

In my opinion, they’re just giving themselves license to be cruel, hateful bastards.

I don’t know the motivation of nuts who don’t claim to follow the Bible, but I suspect the previous sentence still applies.

Because they are in death cults, fantasizing about death.

Evangelicals are fucking nuts

He is just playing to the base. This weasel will say anything and turn on a dime if it suits his purposes. Remember what he said about Trump before he became vice president...

Because their religion tells them they can fuck up this world and when it ends, they get into paradise because God will give them a universal Mulligan.

Reality: nothing happens, they become high fat worm food, then high fat worm shit.

how can you be evangelical and not think that Trump is the antichrist in that story

The unknown is scary. Prophecy fills in that anxiety. Religion, especially the Abrahamic religion, is for the spiritually lazy. The jewish God (YHWH, God, Allah) is a usurper, a thief, and dominator of the material. We're all spiritual beings and we don't need lesser gods to connect with each other within this universe. I know it sounds kinda cheesy, but loving kindness should be our spiritual path in this material world.

Death cult!

Went looking for context, and he just made that connection without prompting. They asked if we were in the end times and he rambled a bit using many words to say "don't know, but maybe" and basically took credit for hypothetical end times being because of him as if it were a cool outcome...

It's bad enough when these folks assert their work is "god's" work, but the "it'd be cool if my work causes the end time" angle is just....

Because everyone in this life hates them, including their own family.

You know your administration is doing a bad job when you use the end of the world as a selling point.

I mean, christianism was an apocalyptic cult that though that the world was going to end at around 100 aD

They are almost 2000 years late with their gran finale.

because they think they'll be the last ones standing, and all the gays, trans, brown people, and other undesirables will be the ones dying.

They're deeply closeted gay people and they want to die and go to heaven before they're found out for being giant pieces of shit.

Now I don't believe God exists.. But every single person right or left who talks about God misunderstands the idea of Omnipotence and omnipresence..

They want to say God loves everyone but hates gay people. They want to say that their ideas are right and everyone else is wrong.

Omnipotence and omnipresence god means he decided to create all the billionaires years ago and he knew everything they were all going to do for the entirety of their lives and he still did it. The idea that a god would exist and just decide that Trump and the Kardashians are somehow important and starving and dying children are somehow unimportant.. it makes me uninterested in the idea of a god.

I don't believe God exists. Life is pain and no idea of a god will make me feel better about this world.

The Bible starts and ends with the slaughter of the unrighteous, which means you.

When Jesus returns, He will be accompanied by legions of angels, and they will butcher every non-believer. The resulting lake of blood will be miles wide and "as deep as a horse's bridle".

Then, they will cast all of the non-Christians into Hell for eternal torture.

That is Christianity.

(Islam and Judaism are no better, they all revel in the murder of the non-believers)

Sure but if someone says: "I'm just trying to focus on doing god's work. If that leads to Vance's neck doing the same thing that Charlie Kirk's did, that's ok.", then they get a visit from the SS.

Because in the end of world situation it kinda pointless to ask for accountability , responsibility , or something related to those pos which they like because they do that every time.

These wackos want the world to end.

Because the end of the world means that if they die then it's get out jail free card and they get their gold ticket to heaven.

It would be the only concrete proof for them that their religion isn't a lie. If I was Israeli I don't think I'd be comfortable with the "support" I get from Evangelical Christians.

Because religion is a mental illness.

The best time to leave was a while ago. The next best time to leave is now.

Maybe it's the only way they imagine their impotent god can affect people they hate. It hasn't showed up for anything else, so... Leroy Jenkins?

Yeah, they never say something like, "if that leads to peace on earth, so be it."

yeah so I was helping the antichrist to start the end times for jesus so im totally going to heaven.

Shithole country.

Is end times what evangelicals call anal?

Obviously because The Almighty can't do their own job.

its an evangelical boner, they conceptualize the rapture, and it has pervaded in media that portrays christians in anyways.

Because they hate their lives and want their suffering to end.

Why would gods work lead to the end of times? Whats the logic here?

Everytime he comes up there should be his couch humping video

Yeah nah, that shit is some weird American fetish.

Raging nihilist, but these cunce make some part of me hope there is a god just so they can see how pissed it is at them

Traitors to humanity.

I say let him meet his god early.

Because their book promises them the slaughter of everyone they don't like once a certain series of events kicks off.

EOTWAWKI has always been a mythical fantasy, including the futuristic interpretation of Revelation regarding the second advent.

This is really the only way that cults in their late and isolated stages can hold together, not only that the end is neigh, but that it is imminent, a few month's away at longest.

And that is because the devout are expected to be squeezed. They're expected to toil to breaking for sake of the community and their leader.

In the cases of communes like Jonestown and the Branch Davidian compound, there's always a dire labor shortage. There's consistently more work to do than can be done by the labor force available to make sure everyone is fed, housed, treated for illness, clothed and so on.

Exploited labor cannot work under pressed conditions for super long, but giving them a hard deadline weeks or days away, helps a bunch. Doubly so if it comes with a guarantee of eternal bliss (or a UFO ride to join the space aliens).

Naturally, at least for all cases so far, the deadline comes and goes. This is usually when the prophets recompute and provide another deadline. Again it can only be a little bit longer. Even a year later and it's too much to ask.

With each passing doomsday that doesn't manifest, the cultists get more antsy like the crew of the Abraham Lincoln. Suicide and apostasy rates rise, then soar. Discontent heats up in the community, as each false apocalypse deteriorates confidence in the next one.

Eventually, something has to crack. In the 20th century US, reports leak to the authorities about the poor conditions and the abuse (there always is, in a large enough population), and in the face of intervention, the cult leader goes scorched earth like the Nero Decree.

In the meantime, the list of failed apocalypse predictions grows ever longer without any yet coming to fruition.

Keep your god out of the government you stupid brainwashed fucktard!

Crazy lunatic!

OOH OOH i know

Because (a) they are narcissists. Being right about the end game would mean (b) they were the smartest people in the room about the most important topic in their lives.

Might as well inject that right into their veins, you know?

Self loathing from development in an environment of mental and physical abuse.

Because there would be nobody left to laugh at how weird, pathetic, cringey they all were if everyone died. Nobody left to fully document their failures, convict them for their crimes against human and teach future generations about their evil and incompetence in the fullest context.

Many will laugh at this, but trump is a child with a broken brain and a toddler's sense of what impresses him and what he fixates on - he very likely will not be able to leave office without pressing the "big red button" and launching one or many nukes. And even though the sequence isn't triggered by one giant red button, he'll have them make him a giant red button to press so he has the feeling. And his dad still won't love him after that.

You are not a servant of god, you're a servant of Mammon.

You should be a servant of the people.

They want to see their god/s. I agree with them, they should go see god asap.

Wow what happened to separation of church and state. Was that one of the foundations that built America and the constitution? If I'm wrong let me know.

The danger is greater than ever today than it's ever been

Its the only way to get to heaven without waiting for the end of your natural life.

Maybe because they have some buried understanding in their subconscious of how history will remember them, and they'd prefer that there was no one around to know

Very the onion like

New converts seem like newly out queer people, they speak way too confidently about their newfound identity

They did a lot of God's work during the crusades.

Every religion and therefore every god forbids killing babies. If you worship anything, it is ultimately Satan that you worship.

Christianity is a death cult and a doomsday religion. A big reason we don't have any first person accounts written by anyone with first hand experience of Jesus' life and times is that anyone that believed him, also believed the end of the world was coming so fast writting things down would be a waste of time.

We've never been closer to it and it's all their fault.

I hate the world we live in.

It was about Rome in power and stuff back then, not a future prediction, but they ignore the truth, as usual. They keep people in basic thinking right/wrong rather than grow and learn the truth about the universe. This is the one time to be the cosmos looking back at itself. There is no supernatural coming to save us on this one habitable planet, and no reward later for suffering now.

That's literally what he was voted in to do, voting majority actively wants to speedrun to the end of the world. Country is fucked.

As a side not for everyone. All religions were designed to get rid of the masses once we have the means for it. It was tried multiple times in the past but now we are reaching a stage where the military industry has the technology to "bring gods from the heavens". There will be 2 kinds, the ones who accept their faith and "will be sent to heaven" and those who oppose and will be slaughtered just like the rest.

They will bring the biblical events to life through technology, get rid of the masses and have this heaven for themselves.

Chosen people empires, while based on Moses (Jesus contradictions ignored), were integral to Rome and US (manifest destiny) empires. Chosen people are immune from anti-civilization/human atrocities, but there are 2 approaches. The 1000 years of peace model made famous by Hitler, but the basis of Crusasdes, and neo-liberal naziism of cold war is about converting and administering enemies to chosen people rules based order.

Zionazi capture of US rulership/politics post JFK, started with taking the chosen people Christian/neo-liberal supremacism, and equivocating Zionism into the neo-liberal equivalence.

The 2nd approach to Chosen people anti-human permission, is end times prophecy. Instead of conquest/conversion, pure extermination of every heretic who would not approve of end times mission is "necessary". Zionaziism is integral in right wing Christofacism, pastor influence, and even has demons like Ted Cruz expressing Israel first chosen people status over American Christians.

End times supremacism is far more dangerous than neo-liberal naziism, because the former justifies perseverence in the face of defeat, which is specifically why JD Vance is expressing the psychosis.

Because that's the only way for them to claim any relevance

I get a bit confused listening to some a Christians talk about the end times. According to the Bible, we already live in the end times. The end times are not some dial some people are twisting one way and some people are twisting the other.

I think some people believe that God has a checklist, and he's waiting for all the monkeys to essentially random chance Hamlet of of a typewriter, with all the hoops and conditions needed to bring about the end of the world. If your eschatology is Twitch Plays Pokémon, try again.

Also Marxists.

Well he said he does win the award for the most American thing any American has ever Americaned.
