If I were religious I would absolutely think Trump is the Antichrist.
I’m an atheist and I think Trump is the antichrist.
When I was 8 or so, I prayed that god would wait to start the 7 years of tribulation until after I graduated college.
I graduated in 2019. Sorry guys.
Doomed by an 8 year old...
That gypsy was right.
If RFK is not pestilence in person I don't know who is
This is the funniest comment I have read in a while 🤣🤣🤣
There was a web site dedicated to a proof that Trump has all the characteristics of the antichrist whereas Obama only has a few.
I can't seem to find it.
Author of the site updated it, and yes, Creepy indeed.
There’s an entire serious sub called (r/trump666). They are more level headed than you’d expect and downvote and mod people too far out there. They have a lot of deep serious discussions on which of the four horsemen Trump and Musk are. They seem to mostly disagree on which person is which dragon/beast/horsemen. Although, I think there’s an agreement that RFK Jr. is Pestilence haha
It’s all over my head but this concept is strong enough now that people devote significant time to reading the lay-lines.
Coincidentally my old handle on Gawker was a photo of Trump and my name was “DiabloHimself.” But that was back when he wasn’t running for office and just tweetsulting Roseanne.
Oh, I can't believe it's really him! Doug Forcette! Well, if anyone knows, it's this guy.
Glad to make your acquaintance and I hope my presence has brought some joy to your day so as to offset the points lost from the ant I stepped on this morning.
I wondered about it, but it seems he has to put himself in the place of Christ and require people to worship him instead (to "anti" Christ...) to really qualify. I think he is till pretending to be a Christian, so we may not be there yet...
You mean if you were Christian as my buddy Hassan is a devout Muslim and ge doesn't believe in this shit
Not just Christian, not all of us believe in an antichrist. Even among biblical literalists it's not 100%. Rapture, too. I don't believe in either
I'm curious about how bible literalists that don't believe in the antichrist interpret that part of Revelations.
Revelation (no ‘s’) doesn’t really have the narrative that “Biblical literalists” think it does. The Beast isn’t said to be the Antichrist - the “Antichrist” isn’t mentioned in Revelation at all, only in John IIRC - a lot of this is coming from Scofield and Darby. People before the 1800s did not believe in the narrative of “there’s a rapture where Christians disappear, the Antichrist takes over for 7 years, all of these prophecies are fulfilled, and the Jesus comes back.”
It’s basically all made up through connecting unrelated passages in Daniel and Ezekiel. Premillennial dispensationalism is new and not reading the Bible “literally” at all.
and the Jesus comes back
Everybody please remember that you do not fuck with the Jesus.
I know the rapture doesn't exist in the Bible but "the beast" does. What is the beast to literalists?
Could be an Antichrist, could be a natural desire, could be Emperor Nero, could be something else. Being a “Biblical literalist” isn’t really something that makes sense, because at some point you do have to accept that some things are metaphor. The line being drawn is arbitrary, even if “literalists” don’t like to admit it. Revelation is especially obtuse and symbolic - though it does make sense if you realize it’s probably about Nero and John of Patmos was tripping balls on some kind of psilocybin.
Revelation almost didn’t even make it in the Bible - the Shepherd of Hermas was more popular. I don’t think Jerome liked it.
Hilarious. Bible is fiction though and feeding into their irrationality is not going to change any minds.
So no worse than trying to use rational arguments?
Yeah good point.
The point isn't that it's fiction. It's that their book is garbage and they pick and choose the parts that they follow.
and most of them attend evangelical churchs, which dont even read the whole bible.
Thanks for adding this
Ha ha, oh now things are getting a little feisty and controversial. I love a good meme that starts a fire. Nice……very nice.
I'm generally opposed to quotes from that awful fuckin' book, but context here works.
the power of gold^tm^ christianity would say blasphemy.
not enough gold linings.
not yet. soon, buy not quite yet.
