    I’m not religious, but I’m fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.

    A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer. From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

      Trump, the man who literally embodies the 7 deadly sins, is the anointed of God - yea that totally checks out.

        I’m starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.

        Anything to bring about the end.

          It’s a super common trope in Mormon offshoot cults at least, to believe you’ve been put here by god to bring about the end times. Of course those people always believe they’re “one of the good ones” that will be let into heaven when it’s all said and done. It’s honestly frightening how common this line on thinking is among Christians, how normalized it’s become.

      It reads like those people are living in a parallel universe. Or are they just memeing?

    “Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans." - Douglas Adams

    Turn back, we all made a horrible mistake.

    I want every American to stop and listen.

    If you thought that the US military was going to save us at the last minute from this orange pedophile and his pedophile posse, ask yourself this.

    Why would military leaders actively break international law on the conduct of military actions, knowing they could be arrested and charged with not just war crimes, but crimes against humanity?

    trick question. it doesn’t matter what your answer is, they’re still not coming to save us.

    prepare yourselves.

      All the “good ones” in military brass already resigned anyway. From the first reports of those actions last year, I’ve been saying it’s a mistake to leave things in the hands of sycophants alone, when instead people of decent conscience could be in there sabotaging. But alas, here we are.

        I always took it as, even if half the military quit, choosing their own conscience over this BS, there’s still half the military left to follow orders even if it means killing children

        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.

    Any chance on getting these officers named and a date for when they were promoted to their current positions?

    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.

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

    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”
