I love this. I especially love that you can bet on this now, too. It's the only good thing PolyMarket has ever done is allow betting on "Jesus will return in 2026"
However, practically, Trump is placating a large voting base and source of money ahead of the midterms. Churches can do what a bunch of MAGA influencers can't do - convince people it's God's plan for them to pay $5 a gallon for gas. He needs them, this is what they wanted. It's purely transactional.
Oh wow, easy bet every year right there. And the only people losing money from it are psycho Christians.
Just thinking about the logic here... If you believe Jesus is coming and he's taking you with him, isn't this bet a no-win situation?
Let's say for argument's sake, he comes back. You've been raptured, so you're literally unable to collect your winnings (and why would you even want to?).
Obviously, logic and rationality isn't their strong suit, but goddamn they really didn't think it through.

This is the mentality that will have absolute power over our lives, for the rest of this century.
I wouldn't mind them having their Apocalypse, provided it is only shared amongst themselves. The rest of us have our own things to do.
Number of "prophecy" end of the world claims that have been: countless
Number of "prophecy" end of the world claims that have been correct: zero
Quack idiots gonna do quack idiot things, and there's usually a few quack idiots who stand to gain a LOT by convincing the other quack idiots to do things

Them: "Woooo, the end times are coming!"
US: "Yep, the end times are coming."
Fully understood end result, completely and totally different reasons why.
This is your captain speaking, just a friendly reminder trying to make the Apocalypse happen on your schedule will get you a free upgrade to first class on our descent into Hell where the temp is a scorching 69° nice

Well yeah... Christianity is a death cult. Since the very beginning they've been saying that the end times are coming soon. I guess some of them finally realise 2000 years is in no way "soon" and maybe they need to do something about it.

Fuck religion
The Reformation was a mistake, people.
The problem is that he's in the position to make it happen, one way or another. There is no future consequences that can be imposed on those bringing about the end of the future itself.
Hopefully the end times will be coming for them. Everyone gets their own little apocalypse. Just leave us out of it.
Fuck yeah hell is eternal 🤘🏻😎 We will fight in the Skeleton War forever, bathed in everlasting fire ! Who could ever get bored of that much fun !?
The "end times" have been coming for 2,000 years now. You'd think after the first 500 or so they would have started reevaluating their prophecies... But religion is a helluva drug.
The 'end times' are coming. The END of letting these incompetent cult members have any control over other people's lives. We will chase you all back into the shadows where you freaks belong.
