Some evangelical Christians see Donald Trump’s win as ordained by God, offering “a divine mandate” in his second term.

    I believe Trump, Putin, Xi and Netanyahu are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So I do believe a prophecy is being fulfilled, although not one worth celebrating.

    Oh yeah. This is the sort of stuff that will be in the news all the time from now on. It’s pretty crazy already, but just remember what it was like during the pandemic. We were so deep in crazy town that nothing was considered surprising any more.

    So God let him lose in 2020, but then decided he wanted him to back in 2024? God is pretty undecisive for an all mighty and all knowing kinda dude.

      Nonono see God both has total control but also loses to Satan at the same time. Doesn’t make sense? Something vague about free will!

        See, god has total control, knows everything and is the ultimate good. Sounds like something that can’t be true when the world is the way it is? Well, someone very clever has found the perfect solution that explains everything: God must be extremely stupid.

        According to religious nuts: God is everything, God created everything.

        Me, an Atheist: By that logic, God is Satan and/or worse than Satan for creating him.

        Religious nut: “LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU!”

      Especially for a guy with a “Divine Plan.” Did God have to change his plan? For Donald Trump?

        Of course that God had to change his plan to accommodate an higher being than himself.

      He also apparently let Trump kill a million Americans through his sheer incompetence and maliciousnous, when he was president during a pandemic.

      Atheism is for the strong and the hard. Religion is mass psychosis.

    If things are going my way, it’s God’s prophecies (as interpreted by me) fulfilled.

    If things are not going my way, it’s God punishing us for not doing things my way.

    Also: if a natural disaster hurts people I don’t like, they’re being punished by God. If it hurts me, God is just testing me.

    Indeed, a prophecy fulfilled–Maelstrom. An soon-to-be hypercane, and extinction event. It will eliminate most, if not all life on Earth, due to climate change inaction. Or, abortions. It depends on whether you’re a failed one or not.

    My congratulations, America. Bask in your victory, oblivious to the true damnation you have caused. May humanity peacefully protest against the now-inevitable cataclysm you have brought upon yourselves.

    Wretches.

      I mean, the one about the Antichrist fooling Christians fits so well that I’d probably believe it’s actually happening if I believed in their bronze age fairy tales to begin with…

        There’s the line about the beast that was wounded unto death and yet lived that seems vaguely apropos

        13:3:

        And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

        There’s an entire website dedicated to relating each passage in the bible about the antichrist to trump. I don’t remember what the site was, but a quick google search should get the result.

        That is eerily similar. But then again, stuff like this probably also happened 2000 years ago. Just start doomprepping if people start wearing black and take up horseriding!

      It does have grifters trying to “crack a code” in the bible. This “prophecy” is based on one of those grifters’ prophecy.

          Arguably he’s done that one over and over in his speeches, and with the Central Park Five, and with the other people I’m sure he’s fantasized about killing over the years.

    Seeing as the Jesus of the Bible was absolutely a far-left liberal commie bastard by their standards, I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they’re the only ones not raptured at the end.
