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.

I really hope Republican states are the ones that will suffer the consequences of their voting.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago

So about that authoritarian religious regime...

[–] davetortoise@reddthat.com 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking nutcases. At this rate troops might actually just mutiny

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 hours ago

It bet it would work in America, too. The military is popular, and the civilian federal government is not.

Really wish these death cults would get on with it and leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago

I'd be happy to make them some Kool-Aid

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

Ah yes. The mentally ill are running the military.

[–] mattc@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I find this very hard to believe, especially as it's coming from some random guy's substack.

So they admit that Trump is the Antichrist?

[–] DrivebyHaiku@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah they are literally trying to speed run the end so they can be mindless automotons in heaven. It's real fucked up.

Religious fundamentalists in a death cult vs Religious fundamentalists in a death cult

The common people should just send all these lunatics to Mars.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Sending thlose lunatics to Mars costs resources we don't have and cause pollution. IMO, running them through with a machinegun is easier.

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

So wasteful. Feed them into a mulcher and use them to reseed the rainforests.

Words fail me right now, all I can think is: AaaaahhhAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Christians are salivating for Jews to return to Isreal. I've known this since I was raised in the church.

Zephaniah 3:19–20 – God promises to gather His people and bring them home, giving them honor and praise. Hosea 3:5 – Israel will return and seek the Lord and David their king in the last days. Jeremiah 16:14–15 – A greater exodus than Egypt—the Lord bringing Israel back from all nations.

Canada needs to arm ourselves. These people are fucking crazy and are gearing up take everything from everyone else.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

Guess who Canada buys arms from?

[–] Coleslaw4145@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

If you mean small arms then surprisingly enough its mostly Canada made or European.

Most of Canada's armoured vehicles are either Canadian made or German. For example, their main battle tanks are German (Leopard 2).

A lot of Canadian artillery is made up of French and British pieces.

It's really just the Air Force that's dominated by US equipment.

[–] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh I'm certain they will be as effective on fat white Americans as they are on the brown people the fat white Americans predominantly use them on. It's less about who we buy them from than who we point the business end at when it's business-doin' time.

What are the odds nukes start flying once the bunkers finished?

[–] NewSocialWhoDis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Hmm... I wonder if nuclear winter would slow global warming.

Holy fuck...🚨🚨🚨 🚩🚩🚩‼️‼️‼️

These people are legitimately crazy. Like drowning their kids in the bath tub because the voices in their head they think are Jesus told them to "save them," level of crazy.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 15 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I remember in the time after 9/11 when Muslims and Islam were shown in this kind of light while the west was too modern, scientific, and secular to fall prey to this stuff.

Now... now everything they accused Islam of they are actually doing AND the worst of the wordt Muslims are being armed and propped up by them as they always have been.

I need a good strong whisky this weekend...

Some men with butterfly nets should have come and taken him away to a padded room for his own safety.

At least these psychopathic Christian evangelical Zionists are being honest about their goals. They want the Rapture or end of the world because they think that forcing ww3 will make Jesus return. This is why Christian evangelicals support Israel no matter how depraved their policies because they believe they will start ww3 and that’s what they want. Christian nationalism is dangerous. It’s been bad for a long time and people like Mike Huckabee have been working towards this goal for decades. We used to regard these people as crazy but now we put all the crazies and narcissists in charge and that’s why everyone sane is depressed with crippling anxiety.
