The Reformation was a mistake, people.
People who believe in prophesied apocalyptic events should not be in positions of power, because they have a tendency to try to make those prophesies self-fulfilling.
We need separation of church and state, but we also need ways to establish an expectation that religious institutions will at least not promote beliefs that directly go against established science and reason.
Well, I would not object to those assholes getting raptured any minute now. Less mess and more housing available.
Fuck yeah hell is eternal 🤘🏻😎 We will fight in the Skeleton War forever, bathed in everlasting fire ! Who could ever get bored of that much fun !?
Funny thing is I grew up evangelical and Trump fits their description of the anti christ down to the letter. Maybe that’s why they love him? A masochistic religious love for the one they know is evil
As someone who grew up with parents who believed the rapture was constantly about to happen, this is really not newsworthy at all. The predicted date shifts a couple of years each time another one passes by without anything happening. The most original I thought was some date in 1998, because that’s 3 times 666. But really, it’s just a random number from some swindler, usually.
Really have to wonder why these people can’t just you know go find a compound somewhere and make some special Kool-Aid or something. Why do they got to drag the rest of us into it?
The way the religion is presented to them ties it very purposefully with actual history which, for many of them, gives it all the authenticity needed to believe the crazy shit.
That fact is important because it’s also why they won’t leave us alone, they think the entirety of mankinds existence revolves around these end times ideas and indeed their beliefs REQUIRE there to be non-believers that suffer for rejecting it.
It’s really dumb and upsetting
Do these clowns not understand that by wishing trump start their armageddon that it makes him the antichrist?
They are following and encouraging the antichrist?
So yeah, y’all talibangelicals going to your hell.
I love this. I especially love that you can bet on this now, too. It’s the only good thing PolyMarket has ever done is allow betting on “Jesus will return in 2026”
However, practically, Trump is placating a large voting base and source of money ahead of the midterms. Churches can do what a bunch of MAGA influencers can’t do - convince people it’s God’s plan for them to pay $5 a gallon for gas. He needs them, this is what they wanted. It’s purely transactional.

My personal favourite is the woman whose chicken laid eggs with “Christ is coming” etched on them. Turned out she was writing on the eggs herself and pushing them back up the chicken’s bottom.
What they seem to be missing is that the beast, and crew, precipitate the rapture and do the persecution while the righteous are the persecuted.
Hopefully the end times will be coming for them. Everyone gets their own little apocalypse. Just leave us out of it.
You know the funny thing is there’s actually a biblical calculation that puts the end of the world around 204X that several well known Christian Theoloegians calculated including Isaac Newton.
It seems odd to me that fanatics ignore this prediction and insist on accelerating the end times or claim that the rapture is tomorrow.
The other funny thing is all the insane level of violence and corruption that both Christian and Islamic eschatologies warn about in great detail.
If you’re familiar with either source, the irony is astounding. People read a big fat warning about the end times and then decided “We can accelerate this and make it into heaven by playing the explicitly evil guys in this big fat warning”.
Indeed. Evangelical MAGA really didn’t read their book. It says that no one can accelerate or manufacture the time. If it happens, people will not realize what is going on until the last minute.
The problem is that he’s in the position to make it happen, one way or another. There is no future consequences that can be imposed on those bringing about the end of the future itself.
This is the mentality that will have absolute power over our lives, for the rest of this century.
