    I’m not a Christian but man this Trump guy keeps matching what revelations said the anti christ would be so well that I might look into the religion if it wasn’t oppressing me and I wasn’t already happy with my gods

      I wouldn’t be surprised if project 2025 had an entire unpublished section discussing strategies to co-opt the imagery of antichrist to use as propaganda to further muddy the waters and aid in confusion and prevent a cohesive resistance.

        It has to be deliberate. Trump and Musk match the beast and the dragon so closely that it’s uncanny. There’s no way it’s a coincidence and given that we know that the author of revelations was ranting about Nero, they have to be playacting trying to trick God into fulfilling their prophecy fanfiction.

          🤣 > trying to trick God into fulfilling their prophecy fanfiction.

          I was thinking more along the lines of galvanizing their current followers like Hillary’s “deplorable” comment did.

          It’s like how evangelical Christians support Israel as a way to trigger the end times. They don’t care that this means a third of Jews will be cast into a lake of fire, they just want to make Jesus come back.

    Now I don’t believe a word of the Bible, but this guy checks off so many anti-Christ boxes it’s getting harder and harder to see how the people who do believe that stuff don’t see it.

      There was a trump property about 10 minutes walk from my house and every time I walk past it I cannot quite believe the utter lack of taste. It’s a sort of thing that a Saudi oil baron would consider to be a bit over the top.

          I can do better (optimism-wise).

          Maybe this will be remembered after the fact and once the Trump delusion dies, people will see that the tribulation and rapture never happened despite him literally bringing us to the end of the world, they all lose their religion and everything swings HARD to the left afterwards. No more Republicans, no more conservatives, no more capitalism, no more oppressive medicinal politics.

    When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.

    He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”

        Then the Sianai Times reported how the Pharaoh isn’t actually a that bad of a guy and it would serve the Israelites to reopen communication with Egypt and discuss trade partnership, and how slavery should be an individual’s choice and that they should vote Moses out for unilateral decision-making. Also, no haha the river never turned to blood and there are no locusts, don’t look up at them.

        Hi I’m a Christian and I care. The goat seems to be made to auction to spread awareness for human trafficking. Very bizarre to go with this method though. I also know nothing of the organization and it’s effectiveness in helping stop child human trafficking. Especially after that movie and the backlash it got with how little it did in helping the actual core issue. Bunch of hypocrites.

          The project is an initiative of Athletes & Causes, an organization in Florida that pairs athletes with philanthropic efforts. Its founder, Rob Canton, also runs the Grady Goat Foundation in Florida, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising through goat yoga classes in order to support disadvantaged children.

          I don’t know anything about them, but the auctioned thing being a perfect representation of trump’s ego, I’m fully expecting that none of the money will actually be used for the cause

            Yeah, probably. It’s a non profit but I don’t know how that money gets audited. If law even applies here.

          I call bullshit; christianity hasn’t been a real thing since its final resurgance which ended during the siege of munster. john brown at the lastest, and that was still calvinism.

          edit: wait, shit, tubman was also a christian fanatic, but she had massive head trauma, so I think she can be counted as an outlier.

            No idea what you’re talking about but Christianity is definitely a real thing, and it’s not the Christo fascism that you’ve been exposed to.

              oh. what’s their holy symbol? is it a symbol of statist exemplary violence, a monument of terror used on slave rebellions and sometimes other people? or some other thing?

              I get there are people who still call themselves that, but they’re not, and there is no continuity.

    Trump is literally the Anti-Christ, he takes Christians away from Christ and thinks it’s funny.

    I actually read a report somewhere that said Christians were having to choice between their Churches and Trump… and they choose Trump

        At this point, Idiocracy is looking more like an optimistic fairy tale than a cautionary look to our future. At the very least Kamacho was trying to fix things and the people could be convinced by obvious evidence set plainly before them.
