    Prophecy implies the Antichrist would be polling much better.

    But also, the middle-eastern man named “John” had no fucking idea what the fuck America even was when he wrote all that. And it’s a very young religion too.

      I dunno. People say they hate him, but also that they would vote in him again and do the stuff he asks them to do (buy his phones and etc).

    calling him the antichrist is giving him too much credit. he’s just a vile human being.

    This is the kind of thing one thinks after injecting quite a bit of THC, but a conspiracy theory I half-believe in is that shit like Left Behind was a plot to mislead people so they wouldn’t recognize him when he showed up.

    So much of what your average white fundie/evangelical Christian believes about eschatology is not really in the Bible. It’s all mostly based on a Bible edition from 1917 plus John Bircher stuff - see the obsession with the United Nations. It can sorta be an anti Catholic church thing too, but fundiengelicals have mostly had a truce with Catholics since they formed their anti abortion coalition in the 70s (in the Left Behind series, the original pope does get raptured, but most media has the pope as either the anti-Christ or an eager collaborator)

    This is how they imagine the end of the world

    The Antichrist is a lefty who promises peace and tolerance and good things, so there’s nothing wrong with building a statue to this great guy, almost as persecuted and powerful as Jesus himself. Global warming is fake, really the sign of the end of the world is litter boxes for furries at school.

    When it was increasingly clear to Christian extremists in the 70s there won’t be any forthcoming event at the end of the millennium, instead the bastards have to artificially force the second coming, so they created the scheme to destabilize the world.

    Listen, when we started these ‘shitpost’ communities, it really wasn’t with the intention to post about a demented pedophile literally shitting in public everyday. You’re taking this way too literally guys.

    technically the Antichrist we were promised was supposed to wear the pride flag, have a 10 inch dick, have 6 breasts, and be an 5 year old black (or latin) kid… I think that covers MAGA’s wet dreams.
