I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

We are working on drafting a real set of rules right now. There will likely be a post about it later tonight.

Wait til the evangelicals read up on the Lunar Eclipse on Trump’s birthday where (like Revalations notes the Antichrist will be signaled by) the β€œmoon will turn to blood.”

Selective insanity.

fun fact: June 14th also happens to be my birthday so I might be the antichrist too πŸ˜”

If you’re going to have that kind of power thrust upon you might as well make good use of it. Be the Antichrist you want to see in the world

I was born on June 25th, and when I was little my sister tried to convince me it meant I was the antichrist since it's three furtherest day of the year from Christmas.

Truth is, she was annoyed that her December birthday meant family members always gave her a single gift for Christmas and her birthday, and I always ended up with a gift for each.

It also states we will only be able to buy and sell if we have a specific number. Is that a crypto wallet?

why would christians even like a persident who took a huge fat piss all over their religion and disrespected all of them during the inagaration?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Christians have been accepting oppressors taking a piss on the teachings of JC since Constantine The (supposedly) "Great" did it all the way back in ancient times.

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I was surprised to learn that Constantine is seen by many thought leaders in the protestant christian communities as a corruptor. Opinions of Constantine makes a fascinating litmus to start separating those who see religion as a source of power from those who see it as a calling to better the world. Not that most lay christians have a clue who he is, or his role in standardizing christianity to the Roman system of government, let alone the structural implications of the move

[–] Welt@lazysoci.al 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A theologian I spoke to pointed out that even Martin Luther didn't revert the changes Constantine wrought, like the holy day being on the sabbath instead of Sunday to commemorate Easter every week. I guess roughly 1200 years of habits are hard to break, when Constantine only had a few hundred years to contend with, and there were so many sects of a very different Christianity even then (Nestorians, Syriacs, Copts etc).

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

That gnostic shits really cool too and the beliefs were so fucking varied. Even had the "our God is evil for making a physical world in universe made for spirituality" types.

Demiurge intensifies

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Because they're actually fascists masquerading as christians because they can use that as an excuse. Any actual christian believer would probably be compelled by their religion to put them to the sword or crucify them for all their sins.

[–] 5redie8@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The fact that this meme makes sense is so surreal, imagine showing someone from 2012 this meme and telling them this is what we're posting in the future and it's unironic.

Idk I'm high as balls l

The Antichrist will not act alone in his destruction. Revelation tells us of three figures that will act together. The unholy trinity in the Bible consists of three key figures: Satan (the opposite of God), the Antichrist (the opposite of Jesus the Son of God), and the false prophet (the opposite of the Holy Spirit)

K, who's who? We got a lot of Oligarchs to choose from.

Musk is the false Prophet. He promised a Solar-Punk future by combining capitalism with eco friendly technologies. A way out, bridging the generational gap. A true visionary.

Well, all fake, all lies, that guy is a Nazi.

GOD is untouchable, unknown and all mighty. The Satan pendant here would be Putin.

Regarding their control over most nuclear weapons... that's a bingo for Apocalypse. (They could extort countries by threatening nuclear strikes. And no one could do anything about it. Fascists in both countries would support it).

Edit: Made it even darker.

Trump, Putin, Netanyahu fit the bill pretty good, I'd say.

His president photo kinda says it all

That's the look a cat gives you right after shitting on your bed.

That he desperately wants to look cool and still can't?

The beast also survives a head wound and gets more followers.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

Revelation 13:3

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's another that talks about a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. There are 7 Trump towers and, from what I'm told, 10 antennae altogether on the buildings.

Check out this website. They combed through and found a lot of passages about the antichrist. This is where I got the info for the above comment.

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 4 points 21 hours ago

Given the less than subtle use of nazi imagery in the last campaign i wouldn’t be shocked to learn that the parallels were less than accidental on Trump’s part

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

WTF that's a long list my guy

Y'all joke but my conservative christian parents straight up said this exact same thing a couple years ago. They did not like him either.

[–] midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My Bible thumping mother put her blinders on and voted the antichrist into office. I gotta say, if the Christians were right all along, I'll be laughing in her face as we both burn in hell for eternity.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If Christians are right no one is burning in hell

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That entirely depends on interpretation. Roman Catholics believe you need to do good to get into heaven. It's only some denominations who think it is through the grace of God alone and it matters not what you do/did.

I just remind them, The Deceiver isn't going to chuckle and taunt with obvious signs and abhorant behaviors....he is going to turn God's most faithful into his tools for manifesting his own desires on Earth....gay dudes fucking in a pool of blood surrounded by burning crosses are just people being trolls...the Christian Nationalists are the work of the devil coming to fruition.

(Not religious myself, but they eat that shit up)

If heaven exists, I have a feeling it will be full of people that are surprised it exists.

angels having therapy sessions with atheists, of course being completely understanding of their plight which just makes it even worse

Remember all the right-wing crazies that ran around saying Obama was the anti-Christ?

I literally fail to see why it's so hard to get people to believe me that the end of the world is happening, when it's being this fucking obvious.

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago
  • Covid
  • Ebola
  • 9/11 and the "war on terror"
  • The cold war
  • WW2
  • WW1
  • a whole host of other things before that

The world has felt like it's ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I'm not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.

First thoughts: The Antichrist looks like Draco Malfoy if he were the son of the billiards man from Homestuck.

I'm not religious and so do not believe in any prophesies at this time, but I don't think covid fulfills "…and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." (Revelation 8:10) The water part seems pretty specific, so it's something yet to come, and potentially much worse than covid, so that'll be fun.

The author seems to be stretching things a bit in quite a few places, but it was an interesting read regardless. Maybe Trump will check even more of the boxes in the coming years. Is he doing this on purpose?

e: Realized I hadn't looked up the quoted verse. There's supposed to be a star that falls, and that's what corrupts the waters. Good example of what I mean about the author stretching things.

The purpose of the mark The mark is a sign of loyalty and worship to the beast. People who do not have the mark are unable to buy or sell, and may be put to death.
