People like this used to be institutionalized
It is so unlike for far-right religious leaders to side with pedophiles, I am very surprised.
The world's religions see no problem with sticking their dicks into children.
US was justifying its genocides in the middle-east by "they are religious extremists." How much of it was projection?
All
Imagine believing that your all powerful god is so weak that he has to wait on you to start the end of the world. Pathetic.
It's even more comical than that. Their own scriptures say that nobody will know the time of the end of the world. "I will come as a thief in the night." But in their arrogance, they think they can force God's hand.
Fundies never fail to escalate the stupidity and to stir up shit for the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure that's how they justified the Crusades.
Religion is the greatest threat to peace and human well-being.
There's a name badge in that picture so I looked it up. Apparently Alveda King, MLK's niece, is on the board of "Black Voices for Trump". MLK must be rolling in his grave.
Further evidence, if any more were needed, that these pig-ignorant sisterfucking hucksters should be taxed for interfering in politics, and better yet, should be institutionalized.
If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.
If you lived the miserable, joyless, superstitious, sexually dysfunctional, paranoid, clueless life that one of them lives, you'd probably want to join a death cult too.
Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?
An immutable property of marks is that they don't know they're being conned.
They collectively believed in it so much that they manifested him into reality without realizing
They believe they're too faithful to fall for that of course. It's the empathetic who are antichrists.
Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?

send these bible-thumping chucklefucks to the front
Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that's influencing him makes it happen even faster.
If they really think this is the End Of Time, why aren't they out there on the front lines?
Say what you want about the crusades, but at least the king and his knights all rode off to war personally.
My favorite story from the Crusades.
The Europeans landed and a huge mob of locals came running at them. Naturally the knights killed all the 'infidels.'
Later, they learned that the 'infidels' were local Christians who were coming to greet them and offer support.
Because they are War Pigs.
"Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor"
Far right leaders want to see trump ignite armageddon, making him the antichrist.
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur." Revelations 14:9-11
The mark on the forehead says “MAGA”
These dipshits always see everything in such stupid terms.
I imagine a future where such people are sentenced to be put into VR where they could live out their sick eschatological fantasies. That's unless some kind of therapy doesn't come online for such people, as I think they have a (probably as of yet named or recognized) mental disorder
I should have paid more attention and been more vocal. Every time those people came to my door telling me how everything was better when "god chose kings and leaders", I should have had facts to refute them. Hopefully I will be able to in the future.
I don't think facts would have helped you. This isn't something they reasoned their way into. You're not going to reason them out.
If you invite them in and have an honest conversation with them they leave and never come back.
A few years ago, I lived in a grand old house in a nice bit of California and we'd occasionally get Mormon missionaries knocking on our door. One time, a couple of them caught me while I was off work and relaxing. It was a boiling hot day, they looked like they were suffering, so I invited them in and offered them some herbal iced tea and homemade fig bars (my wife's a bit of a hippie, what can I say?). We talked a fair bit about religion, but I'm a non-believer, so that could only go so far. I have a policy of not trying to convince people to become an atheist, but if they ask what I believe, I'll tell them. These young guys were recruited in Provo, suited up and sent off to Sodom-by-the-Bay to have doors slammed in their faces. They were naive and were very polite, nice guys.
To their credit, when I'd be in town after that, if I saw one ride by on his bike, he'd always wave and say hi, despite the fact that I'm an evil infidel.
Pro tip: don't try that with Jehova's Witnesses, they're paranoid, hyper-aggressive and, in my experience, devoid of manners.
Well if Iran has nothing to lose and the US thinks it’s the end times this is going to end so well…
so…. The Crusades 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm pretty sure there already was a second crusade between 1147–1149. If we're counting, we're up to the 9th or 10th crusade, depending on how you group the last of the crusades.
We're fucked.
Maybe. If Jesus comes out of his cave tomorrow and sees his shadow it’s only six more weeks of Armageddon.
Hey, leave my lord and savior Punxsutawney Phil out of this.
They said the exact same thing about Iraq.

Yep. Because the crazies are gagging for Christ to return.
Their whole grift, their raison d’etre is “god is coming, pray harder, and give me your money “
I wonder if that's the key to Trump still being so popular among Protestant Christians after so much proof he's as evil as it gets? That they see the only way out of the incredible mess the GOP (primarily) has made of the country and world is for the "End Times" to arrive, condemning everyone in the world except themselves and rapturing their gullible asses out of trouble.
They really believe that Jesus is going to beam their fat asses up to the mother ship. These people are scary.
Hegseth already thought this when he got the job.
He’s insane and in charge enough without religious leaders anyway.
Make sure their children and/or grandchildren serve in the US infantry. Frontline duty only.
Far-right religious leaders should all be used for chum
The crusades. But with nukes.
And he's just the addled shitbag to make it happen.
