My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She's a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God's plan.

The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

What making suicide a mortal sin does to a mf

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 35 points 2 months ago

They had to do that because it's a death cult. A Christian's goal is to die and go to heaven as quickly as possible, so if they let them commit suicide, then that's the fastest way to heaven.

And then, of course, murder is a sin, or else the best thing a Christian could do is blow up a Christian church while it's full of worshipers.

Actually, since murder can be forgiven, you'd think Christians would be killing each other left and right, just to help the other guy get into heaven faster without them committing suicide.

Even if murder couldn't be forgiven, you'd think a Christian parent would want to kill their children right after they were baptized. Guaranteed ticket into heaven for the kids. Best thing for them. What loving parent wouldn't sacrifice their soul for their children's souls?

It's almost like it's a bunch of made up nonsense.

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

You're not wrong. And they keep making up crazier and crazier nonsense.

I remember when Operation Desert Storm was supposed to bring about Armageddon. And then it was W's war in Iraq. And now it's the war in Iran.

Every time they move the goalposts, they also increase the stakes. It's terrifying.

Didn't they have one of those end if the world things recently? But it sure sound like that saying "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine end of capitalism" or just any change in world view.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Joining the hordes of followers of the beast of the sea because you think that the end of the world is awesome. I suppose there's a theoretical nobility of choosing hell so others can go to heaven, but this ain't it chief.

Back when I was Christian I was so confused by these doom cultists. Like, the religion teaches that the gates of heaven are open. It's not like the saints are waiting in sheol. There's no benefit to the end of the world happening sooner from a theological perspective, and you aren't supposed to know when it's coming

Is your aunt the same as my aunt?? Lol

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

I hope so cousin. Otherwise there are more of her out there.

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

This point of view seems to be what a lot of evangelicals fall back on whenever you somehow manage to score any points against their orange god.

I've heard several of them admit that, "Oh well, the world world is awful, and it's fine if it ends." Who gives them the right to make that decision for the rest of us?

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Spoiler: Hello is actually right.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago

that's the beauty with religion... you can interpret it at your convenience

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago

Too bad he already got left behind. 🤷‍♂️

Wat?

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think it's a "dog whistle"

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 months ago

evangelical christian in beijing...

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 12 points 2 months ago

that checks if you replace god with Putin

[-] plyth@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

The propaganda machine that brought you trickle down economics, the private healthcare system, no child left behind schooling, an outstanding military budget and keeps people committed to FPTP voting was beaten by a mid Russian KGB agent?

[-] Mniot@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

Check your Book of Revelations for interesting news about a charismatic leader who survives a terrible head-wound, marks his followers foreheads. There's also some stuff about an alliance with Israel...

Remember "The man who saw tomorrow"?

They specifically foreshadowed a purple turban, but I think a red hat is close enough.

Google summary:

The Third Antichrist: The film highlights a prophecy about a "King of Terror" wearing a blue turban, often associated with a Middle Eastern tyrant, destined to rise to power and cause global devastation. Context: The documentary interprets Nostradamus's quatrains, suggesting they predicted events like the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, with the final act focusing on this future warlord.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

That makes so much more sense than the way evangelicals here attribute the mandate.

[-] lennee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

trump might believe this as well

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

The elites don't actually believe the religion talk, that's just one of their main vote-taking methods

[-] Graymouzer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Some of them do. Peter Theil is religious nut.

[-] pohart@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I don't think you're wrong but I think Trump is legitimately getting worried about hell. He may not believe but he fears.

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Uh, no way. He doesn't even know the meaning of repentance. If he's worried it's about what remains of his decrepit life.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

...............why is this post showing up twice in a row on my feed?

[-] vzqq 22 points 2 months ago

Chinese interference, obviously

It’s the tankie evangelical fediverse armageddon algorithm.

Trump has stolen the Mandate of Heaven for himself.

Broke: the Apocalypse is coming

Woke: the Apocalypse has come and gone and come and gone numerous times and in each occurrence replaced our comfortingly benign world with something new and terrifyingly incomprehensible. The crystal temples of revelation have been both built and felled and will be built again, and the many marks of the beast have worked their way into our lives bit by bit as ID numbers and credit cards and smartphones and so neatly that few people will object when he comes time to implant them. The only certainty is that each successive apocalypse and the world that comes after will be be unthinkably more bizarre than the last.
