You can imagine the Hollywood style promo. "First we had the Crusades for the Holy Land. Now Trump seeks to return the holy oil to the home of Christ. The U-S-A"

Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth
Divine right to land is an Israelite and other Levant tribes religious tradition. Christ had different philosophies, but at the same time, that Divine right to land applies only to Levant.
The only possible source of Noah's flood, also the only possible location of Atlantis, was in 6200bc where a potentially advanced (relatively) civilization lived on a dry Persian Gulf. Ice age glacier recession flooded this area but somewhat slowly. For one side, Sumeria (which advanced in this period) was closest high ground, and "Shem"ite population grew from there and moved down to Levant over 4000 year span. The Persian/Zoroastrian side has a more accurate hard winter and melting ice "flooding myth" that is also a less cruel God in a "survival of the fittest" migration from the Gulf Oasis.
Even Greater Israel "theory" stops at Iran border with Iraq, and there exists no possible twisting of Christianity's pure devoted love for Israel, that can place a signal fire in Iran.
I mean if it is I don't expect to ascend into heaven or anything but jeez I sorta feel I deserve a quick, clean, painless death. I mean common.
Woo! Christian holy war!
Who Believe Trump Was Anointed by Jesus
Why? Did he run out of locusts or something?
You might be thinking of Jesus' abusive dad
I want every American to stop and listen.
If you thought that the US military was going to save us at the last minute from this orange pedophile and his pedophile posse, ask yourself this.
Why would military leaders actively break international law on the conduct of military actions, knowing they could be arrested and charged with not just war crimes, but crimes against humanity?
trick question. it doesn't matter what your answer is, they're still not coming to save us.
prepare yourselves.
All the “good ones” in military brass already resigned anyway. From the first reports of those actions last year, I’ve been saying it’s a mistake to leave things in the hands of sycophants alone, when instead people of decent conscience could be in there sabotaging. But alas, here we are.
I wonder what all those "retired" moral, knowledgeable, competent, experienced officers are doing? Are they just sipping margaritas on the veranda, not worried about the fate of the nation they carefully protected for decades? Or are they in touch with each other?
I wouldn't know, I haven't heard a thing. Nothing. Nada. It's almost like NOBODY is talking about that 800 pound gorilla in the room.
I always took it as, even if half the military quit, choosing their own conscience over this BS, there's still half the military left to follow orders even if it means killing children
Thusly validating everything I've said about religion and the dumbass military. Fuck off with this "thank you for your service" validation.
If Jesus came back today maga would re-crucify him for being to woke.
Some brown guy talking about loving your neighbour and caring for the less fortunate? It's downright unamerican!
He might already be here... And in an ICE holding cell
And brown
“Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans." - Douglas Adams
Turn back, we all made a horrible mistake.
In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and is widely regarded as a "bad move."
I'm not religious, but I'm fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.
Trump is the antichrist.
You think that makes him more christian or less?
I agree, but stahp it.
you'll just feed his ego.
The 'logic' is that God has often used imperfect men to carry out his mission. Noah was a drunk, Lot slept with his daughters, and King David murdered a man so he could have the widow.
No matter what Donnie does, he is anointed because they say so
Yeah, that's why I gave up religion years ago.
Amen
Bless you, my child
Wonder how many times God tried to convince someone to do a thing and they just kinda… didn’t. Never read the Bible, but I don’t imagine many stories of unredeemed goat fornicators or greedy merchants end up sticking around.
I feel like that was one of the best parts of the Greeks. Their gods fucked up constantly, and everyone knew it. Fate is a flip of a coin, and so were the deities they worshiped
I think that's why a lot of the pagan religions had trickster gods like Loki.
They decided to cut the story of kid Jesus pushing people off roofs then bringing them back to life after people got mad.
He liked to play stone the adulturer.
Read "The Gospel According to Biff" by Christopher Moore.
Did him bring the living environment of all 7 deadly sins give it away?
And suddenly wars in the name of religion aren't Bad anymore. How the turntables.
The worst people in America are running this country. There needs to be a reckoning for these shit bags.
There will not be
Oh yes. Yes, there will be.
And who is going to make it happen exactly?
Clearly not you because you have already given up.
how's that dick taste?
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.
Trump, the man who literally embodies the 7 deadly sins, is the anointed of God - yea that totally checks out.
I'm starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.
Anything to bring about the end.
It's a super common trope in Mormon offshoot cults at least, to believe you've been put here by god to bring about the end times. Of course those people always believe they're "one of the good ones" that will be let into heaven when it's all said and done. It's honestly frightening how common this line on thinking is among Christians, how normalized it's become.

And there you have it folks... War is Peace... as decreed by Jebus himself
Religion is a mix of mass delusion and propaganda, period.
Oh and great look btw, killing the Ayatollah (who, like it or not, is both a political and religious leader to many in Iran and around the world), and then immediately depicting it as a holy war... Great plan, Magastan!
Definitely won't be used to further indoctrinate lost souls with nothing to lose into radical extremist groups all over the world!
It trump was anointed by jesus, I feel validated in my past 35 years of being an athiest.
So this is a war between theocracies.
Yes. A holy war. What better tool to indoctrinate the unwashed masses to fight for the billionaire class?
The world is far less safe because of actions and words like this.
I think we should expect a new wave of Islamist terrorism in the West as a response to the invasion of Iran and the killing of political and religious leaders, because their useful idiots also like to believe in holy wars.
Any chance on getting these officers named and a date for when they were promoted to their current positions?
“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works: he will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:9
God's plan. Ha ha, tell me another one while you're at it.
