    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!

    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.

      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.

    I’m not religious, but I’m fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.

    Any chance on getting these officers named and a date for when they were promoted to their current positions?

    It’s worth remembering that the antichrist will have many followers that believe he is Christ or chosen, it’s part of his whole deal

    “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.
