Everything about the US is just amazing. You guys really know how to do stuff over there.

Yes, evangelical extremists are probably one of the most dangerous religious cults in the US right now. Now you see why. They actively want to trigger the end of the world, and they have support from the top.

Why does no one see themselves as the ones that god abandons for causing war that makes him return?

Having a religious war in the middle east never goes badly, history has definitely taught us that.

This sounds utterly psychotic. Like, it's not even rhetoric, this is Heaven's Gate level psychotic.

Israel wants a holy war. Trump wants a terrorist attack so he can declare martial law. Everybody loses

Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Reddit is doing its part by mass censoring this story

They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore.
And I suppose that’s the final humiliation.

The Amerikan Christian death cult wants to bring about end times because they think their cruel and shitty version of Christianity will make them worthy of rapture.

Jesus. Are they ASKING to get fragged?
Oh, well.

This is because trump and hegseth forced out all the good commanders and put their foot soldiers in their place. It will take a decade after they are gone to fix this.
WarThunderLeakedMySpecs
There is no ‘fixing’ this. Any of it. The USA is cooked. The Pedo in Chief, abetted by Congress, will continue to burn us down from the inside out to fulfill some horseshit fantasy of White Christian nationalism. I’ve we’re lucky we’ll end up as a fractured collection of states. If not, we become what the Nazis always dreamed of being. Maybe Mango Mussolini or couchfucker and kegsbreath nuke the world for shits.
We could have been killing fascists a year ago but hey, midterms’ll fix it!
ipointoutnahtzeesbyreplyingtothem
No, it will take exactly as long as Trump took to replace them with his cronies, unless we're still doing the dumbass "We have to play by the Rules or we're no better than them!!1" routine.

Only 200 complaints that they are being told to go fight a “holy war”? That seems wayyyyyy fucking low.
forelle
Well this complaint mentioned it is on behalf of 16 people, so you can multiply that number
Freyja33
To be fair that's just to this specific non-profit, and the complaints sometimes represent more than one person as this one did
Freyja33
But yeah, to be honest, even despite that I worry there are plenty of soldiers who are fine with this
DownvotesStarWars
This story is truly breaking my brain. I’m used to regular evangelical bullshit of end times and 2 Fast 2 Jesus narrative as a grift, (or kayfabe) but these assholes are deadass ready to nuke people to fulfill a prophecy, that they made up.
GuileAndGlory
+1 for the use of the word "kayfabe"
MarcoPoloOnPollo
2 Fast 2 Jesus. Definitely gonna have to remember that one.
wejustdontknow
Yep

I left Christianity over the last few years, pretty much solidifying my position around a year or so ago. I see this stuff and it gives me pause. "Wait, are the prophecies actually being fulfilled and what does that mean for my lack of belief in Christianity?" But then I realized the only reason they're being "fulfilled" is because fanatics who believe in those prophecies are doing everything they can to bring them about. Because, y'know, that's how prophecies are meant to be fulfilled.
ImJustSoFckingSickOfThisBllsht
How ironic would it be if the Bible was proven right by Trump ACTUALLY LITERALLY being the anti-christ...
MeeepMorp
While all their beliefs are completely antithetical to the words of Jesus Christ. They’re going somewhere, but it sure ain’t heaven.
graehall
yall sanewash jebus like the media sanewashes trump. His message was submit to me or be tortured for eternity, that's not even close to good
Freyja33
That really wasn't the message of Jesus at all though. He never mentions hell or damnation or anyone being tortured for eternity. All of that stuff comes from later Christian traditions
TomBrokaw
"If you kill yourself, you'll go to hell!"
"If we murder innocents to kick off armageddon, we'll go to heaven!"
they can't even maintain internal logic, this show sucks
DarthGoodguy
I fucking wish Hell was real
Darkwell
The people at the top, the powerful, are running a grift and doing what they've always done: using religion as a method of control. The people at the bottom believe the grift is true, and true believers are zealots. Remember Morpheus' line from the Matrix?
"You have to understand. Most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
TsukariYoshi
I think that's giving most of them too much credit. I think the much scarier truth is that at least some percentage of them truly, TRULY believe in this stuff, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get to heaven without dying, which just seems like the most incredibly selfish shit I've ever heard of in a world full of incredibly selfish actions.
Hrafna55
Just like COVID. The people at the top got the vaccines while spreading disinformation about them. Then you saw the true believers down the line end up dead.
