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.

Plot twist, Jesus is an alien and that's why Trump wanted to release the alien files

I figured Jesus would be the last person Trump would want to meet.

6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:6

Given this entire administration's relationship to children, and their hijacking and warping of the Gospel and manipulation of naive belivers to create a doomsday death cult, I'd say we're far overdue for millstones to go up in demand as much as RAM has.

"Any military members seeking to take advantage of their subordinates by advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran, should be swiftly, aggressively and visibly prosecuted.”

Can we just launch all the nukes and get it over with already? That’s how this all ends, we already know that, we aren’t going to become better at being people, things are not going to improve. It would be the path of least suffering, at this point.

Why do are these people doing it in such a complicated way? They have thousands of nukes, they could immanentize the eschaton today. Just launch all nukes into Russia and China. Problem solved, armageddon achieved.

That's exactly what they're talking about. It's too overt to be called foreshadowing, this is more like fiveshadowing.

Hitchens had a book(2007) religion poisons everything. every few years they whip the faithful into a frenzy hoping to make their delusions real. 'if we don't reach our money goals, god will take me home' said another faith leader. this seems like successful Russian propaganda, today anyway. obscure blogger fans flames. army guys don't go to church a lot.

I can only hope after the fallout clears and the species survives that we outright ban all religions as a species.

These people need to be stopped.

Christians are salivating for Jews to return to Isreal. I've known this since I was raised in the church.

Zephaniah 3:19–20 – God promises to gather His people and bring them home, giving them honor and praise. Hosea 3:5 – Israel will return and seek the Lord and David their king in the last days. Jeremiah 16:14–15 – A greater exodus than Egypt—the Lord bringing Israel back from all nations.
