    Evangelicals have pretty much owned the military, at least since the 80s. It’s particularly bad in the Air Farce.

    We can’t seriously put people who believe in this nonsense in charge of real world things.

    Religion is a mix of mass delusion and propaganda, period.

    Oh and great look btw, killing the Ayatollah (who, like it or not, is both a political and religious leader to many in Iran and around the world), and then immediately depicting it as a holy war… Great plan, Magastan!

    Definitely won’t be used to further indoctrinate lost souls with nothing to lose into radical extremist groups all over the world!

    I’d say it will be fun to point and laugh at them when they are proven to be stupidly wrong, just like every other end of days bullshit, but sadly when it doesn’t work out like they are psychotically convinced it will, you know the whole easter bunny coming back and bringing the righteous armageddon thing, they will just throw the nuclear football and pretend it was all par for the course. We all get to die for their selfish and idiotic faith, neat, huh?

    Remember, don’t bother hiding when you hear that the bombs are coming, nothing can save you from the white hot atonement, you’ll have just enough time to make a coffee, pet the cat, and maybe watch an episode of your favorite show. It won’t hurt.

    Insofar as everything is god’s plan if you believe that. Just like AIDS in newborns, children with leukemia, or Iran having a fundamentalist ruling class.

    And Rabbi Kaduri predicted Netanyahu would be the last Prime Minister and instructed him to fulfill the prophecy by defeating Persia/Iran to bring the Messiah: ‘Behold, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; it does not lie down until it consumes prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.’ Crazies running the world

    You can imagine the Hollywood style promo. “First we had the Crusades for the Holy Land. Now Trump seeks to return the holy oil to the home of Christ. The U-S-A”

    Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth

    Divine right to land is an Israelite and other Levant tribes religious tradition. Christ had different philosophies, but at the same time, that Divine right to land applies only to Levant.

    The only possible source of Noah’s flood, also the only possible location of Atlantis, was in 6200bc where a potentially advanced (relatively) civilization lived on a dry Persian Gulf. Ice age glacier recession flooded this area but somewhat slowly. For one side, Sumeria (which advanced in this period) was closest high ground, and "Shem"ite population grew from there and moved down to Levant over 4000 year span. The Persian/Zoroastrian side has a more accurate hard winter and melting ice “flooding myth” that is also a less cruel God in a “survival of the fittest” migration from the Gulf Oasis.

    Even Greater Israel “theory” stops at Iran border with Iraq, and there exists no possible twisting of Christianity’s pure devoted love for Israel, that can place a signal fire in Iran.

        Well to be fair, he was also his dad. And a ghost. And wine. And… crackers? Regardless, being both his dad and a ghost meant that any time Jesus jacked it, he was committing incestuous necrophilia. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    Thusly validating everything I’ve said about religion and the dumbass military. Fuck off with this “thank you for your service” validation.
