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

    By prophecy fulfilled — do you mean the part of the Bible where people start getting fooled by the antichrist?

      Hooray jeebus is coming back to judge everyone and send all the bad people to be tortured forever, as any benevolent deity would do.

      Goddamn fucking assclown motherfucking hypocritical shitheaded bastards! FUCK THEM.

        You forgot the part where the Rapture happens BEFORE the millennium, meaning that all these Christians just get to sit in Heaven and laugh at the sinners. Evangelicalism in the US is heavily premillennial.

      As a reminder, helping the Antichrist bring about the end times does not earn them a spot in heaven, but rather in the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

      Well it did say large part of Christian would gladly line up and have the mark stamp to their fourhead.

      Look at the mega hat and see how they aren’t wrong.

      There is a part of the bible about lusting after donkey dicks and horse jizz.

    Can these people just have their rapture already and leave us to get on with our lives?

      Honestly, they are just in denial that it happened so long ago and they are the unwanted damned left behind.

      The only real difference between a cult and a religion is that the person who started it is dead.

        Real estate. The religions have more real estate, the cults are just pikers.

    Wrong prophesy, dipshits. He’s not King Cyrus. He’s just a senile pervert and you, Trump voter, are the reason we’re not able to address global warming or even people pissing everywhere in public bathrooms.

    I kind of fucked up today and while going on a rant of how stupid these people were I equated them to believing in Santa in front of my one kid. Fortunately she’s young enough I played it off…

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
