    It seems like it shouldn’t even be possible to be that irrational and function - like a person whose brain is that broken could never even make it out of the house because they can’t figure out how to work a doorknob.

      The US military has been pushing their religious nonsense since forever. Believe it or not, this is a very subtle shift by their standards. This rhetoric has been common and coordinated with “religious” “leaders” , and on rightwing media.

        Yep, even at boot camp it’s sundays are easy days, and the mornings are off for church.

    It’s absolutely mind boggling to me.

    Like, even if you accept the premise.

    Like, let’s riff. Let’s “yes AND” this.

    Jesus comes back. He descends from the sky, bathing in a heavenly glow. Lands himself right on the deck of the Ford.

    “Hey guys, you did it. I’m here. What’s up?”

    “Jesus, Lord and Savior, we’ve done your work.”

    “Ah, this vessel is one of mercy and service… feeding the hungry, healing the sick?”

    “Uh, no, it’s a weapons platform. We just blew up a school full of kids, actually”

    “…”

    “Also to build this ship a ton of money was spent and a bunch of kids are hungry and homeless and we could have helped them but we didn’t”

    “…”

    Like… motherfucker. If there is exactly one moment of your life that you’re praying Jesus DOESN’T come back, this should be it.

    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.

      Suicidal Death-cult followers shouldn’t be in command of army-colored crayons, let alone actual milirary branches.

      I half expected them to say he was Jesus. I wish that was sarcasm. Awful people. Leader of the “Peace Board” using a religion of “peace” to justify murdering others.

      I mean, we can give Israel the benefit of the doubt, it is not like they have a history of bombing schools after all.

    I genuinely don’t know: What happens, Biblically speaking, to the people who hastened Judgement Day by worshiping the Anti-Christ? Is it something good?

      We need to figure out what those people do to the people who dont too. My old boss was a nut like this, and in his story I think those people are supposed to try and wipe people who dont out.

    We’re really checking off the constitutional rights. Here we go, Separation of Church and State.
