Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Oh yeah, a side of blasphemy on top of attacking the pope?

Trump is an antichrist (not the definitive article, but the type of person described in the Bible). It really can't get any clearer at this point.

[–] MrSelfDestruct25@fedinsfw.app 35 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

The anti Christ brings about the end of the world. It's what Christians want.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd say only the idiotic ones who believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture would want that. It really makes me wonder how many "Christians" have actually read the Bible they claim to believe (and how many would be those told "Depart from me, for I never knew you" Matt. 7:23).

In my experience, Christianity is pretty divided over "End Times" worldviews - amillennial (no literal millennium, which usually says that there is no literal Tribulation either and so Antichrist isn't as much of a threat) vs. premillennial (we're living prior to a literal millennial reign of Christ on Earth, and there is a specific individual who will be the Antichrist and hold power during the 7-year Tribulation). Within the latter it gets even messier - rapture or no rapture? Ezekiel's War prior to the Tribulation or during it?

Whilst one can argue for the Rapture from the Bible, it's definitely not as clear-cut as the Antichrist or Tribulation period - so if it were me, I would not be in an hurry to usher in the reign of the Antichrist especially when he will hunt down and execute Christians during the Tribulation.

Of course they don't read it

Their book is to beat people with, not for reading

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 weeks ago

The conclusion that Christians want the Antichrist shows just how deranged American evangelicals have become from a Christian perspective.

Nah. The Antichrist is expected to broker a peace treaty with Israel and its enemies if you look at Daniel 9:27.

That ain't our Mango Mussolini. He's a petulant toddler who throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way. Trump couldn't negotiate a wooden tent spike from his own asshole.

It's not the end of the world. It's Israeli genocide (what a difference 84 years makes, huh?) and Iran trolling an orange dipshit for funsies. That's it.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, I know that the Antichrist (the definitive article) signs an agreement with Israel (that's what starts off the 7-year Tribulation, if I recall correctly). Trump hasn't done that, nor does he meet a couple of other specific requirements, so I don't consider him to be the Antichrist (note the uppercase).

That said, he's definitely consistent with many of the attributes and I think meets the definition of an antichrist (lowercase) - hence why I said he's that type of person.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The folks who wrote that book of the Bible probably has Nero in mind when they wrote it. But there have been narcissistic assholes since the beginning of time, and it's no accident that many of the descriptions of Nero from 2000 years ago also fit Trump.

I love how he's doing the highest form of Christian sacrilege so close to Easter. In fact, he's doing it on Eastern Orthodox Easter...

Praise be to Allah.

If you depict yourself as Christ, don’t be surprised when people nail your ass to a cross.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

With THAT ass? Better use two or three crosses to be sure.

I have some questions:

  • What does the hat of the guy in the left say? Pe...?
  • What type of warped fighter jets are in the top right?
  • Did one of the soldier angels get his head blown off, only for it be replaced with the crown of the statue of liberty?

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 41 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Is he healing Jeffrey Epstein here?

This is great - and it sends an important message, even if it should be obvious at this point. Have you considered making a separate post out of this so that more may see it? Thank you.

I wish this image could be appreciated for the immeasurable cringe and potential comedy it can deliver. But it's genuinely horrifying.

I want things to be funny again.

Isn’t this an antichrist thing? I’m not a Christian but isn’t that a part of their whole thing? Seems like they should get that before me, an atheist, gets it

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

They even carry the mark of the beast upon their brow (MAGA hats).

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The antichrist is supposed to trick Christians into supporting him, so that tracks.

He's also supposed to survive an assassination attempt with a headwound.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

If Christians are stupid enough to follow the dumbest antichrist in all of existence then they deserve what they get.

[–] NotAnonymousAtAll@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

Unfortunately a lot of other people who do not deserve any of this are and will continue to be affected negatively by this relatively small group (on a global scale) being monumentally stupid.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd be somewhat relieved if there were a supernatural explanation for how they were tricked into supporting Trump. Because Christ made a very clear list on how people would be judged in Matthew 25 31-46 ("The Judgement of the Nations")

  1. Treatment of the poor

  2. Treatment of the sick

3.Treatment of the foreigner

  1. Treatment of the imprisoned

This nation isn't doing great by that measurement.

They WANT the end of times to come, so the Antichrist would actually be a good thing to them as he heralds that.

Orban's defeat scared him so much he's going to really push this holy war angle.

For a second I thought that was Epstein on the bed:

Why is he healing Jeffrey Epstein?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

I think he's trying to absorb his powers.

It's what you would do too for your best buddy, isn't it?

After having him killed?

In this version, Jesus kills you for his sins, and then resurrects you.

major Antichrist vibes

"The supreme religious deception, according to the church, will be the Antichrist's messianism: mankind glorifying himself rather than God and Jesus."

The similarity between Trump and Jesus is the idea of 'praise and worship me or you will be punished'.
