    American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.

      I have multiple factions now in my campaign based on their actions. For example, one is manufacturing an “invasion” and is about to plan a false flag event to gain even more power. Turns out fascists are pretty villainous people

              ridiculous, isn’t it? they’ll show up to stand around doing nothing holding signs, but when asked to actually fight for their beliefs they suddenly become pacifists and cowards.

              it’s easy to see why we’ll never win.

                Who are you talking about? You said it takes all of us, are you just talking about all protestors or all Americans or all liberals?

                The people protesting recently have not been “doing nothing” they’ve been doing everything they can to stop or obstruct ICE agents from disappearing people. It took a military deployment to stop them. That is not “doing nothing”

                  everyone left of center. enough people that they can’t come after us all.

                  and i don’t see people effectively stopping ICE. i see people making big shows for their social media. if you want results, you have to make them scared to do their job.

    Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.

    I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!

    That is some weird shit.

        I wonder if he’s one of those believers that the destruction of Israel will usher in the end times and Jesus’ return to earth and has the biggest boner right now over escalating this conflict.

          I’m pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I’m pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one’s own will is a one way ticket strait down.

            I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.

            They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.

              It’s the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn’t matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that’s a borderline scholarly argument these people don’t have the capacity to consider

              It is not those who hear the law, but those who do the law, who shall be delivered.

              It’s astonishing how many self-professed Christians straight-up ignore Romans 2.

              Epictetus puts it even better though:

              Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don’t talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation. And when persons came to him and desired to be recommended by him to philosophers, he took and- recommended them, so well did he bear being overlooked. So that if ever any talk should happen among the unlearned concerning philosophic theorems, be you, for the most part, silent. For there is great danger in immediately throwing out what you have not digested. And, if anyone tells you that you know nothing, and you are not nettled at it, then you may be sure that you have begun your business. For sheep don’t throw up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten; but, inwardly digesting their food, they outwardly produce wool and milk. Thus, therefore, do you likewise not show theorems to the unlearned, but the actions produced by them after they have been digested.

      You know, I didn’t think this was WW3 yet. I thought this was going to escalate proxy wars and spread fear across the globe at a scale we haven’t seen since the height of the Cold War, but… the President just quoted an Ambassador in Jerusalem asking for a thermonuclear World War in God’s name.

      Simple, you are so awesome, remember that you owe god one and even when a bunch of people are saying to be careful, listen to me because I’m the word of God, even though I’ll try to assert some false humility by claiming I’m not persuading, just “encouraging” you to do the things I say god says…

      The whole “my word comes from God” should be one of the biggest sins of they were at all close to reasonable.

        Our father… great guy. The best guy really. And he says the same about me. I hear it from people close to him all the time, he says ‘Donald Trump, great guy, not like Biden’… And he lives in the sky, can you believe that? Right up there, with the planes… The great American planes… Boeing. And you know where they’re made? I’ll tell you where they’re not made… China

        Or something like that anyway

    Some of those people have fully crossed into fantasy land and urgently need professional help (although I’m not sure either Israel or the US are the best places to find support for those who have gone away in the religious nutty realm).

    What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God’s divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.
