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.

Mossad commanders laughing their asses off at people like this

Plot twist, Jesus is an alien and that's why Trump wanted to release the alien files

Trump would suffer no political fallout from holding up a baby to keep from getting shot. Unfortunately, real life is much worse than that movie.

It's just so stupid, so embarrassing. You guys need to get rid of these clowns ASAP.

I really hope the comming insurgent attacks (like 9/11) target Republican states. Democrats voted against this, and the consequences need to be born by Republican states.

From Abraham's first hallucinations that the god El promising him the Levant, to Moses admitting that a demon Yahweh impersonated El to fill Abraham's head with such warmongering delusions, to King David's victory took 1700 years. No matter how passionate your belief in every schitzos voices in their head's call for war, when it takes that long to gain control, coincidence rather than divine power to make things/miracles happen, becomes a better argument than the existence of either divine intervention at all, or of a chosen people.

Christianity, turned back into Divine right of Kings in first millenium. Criminal heresy to suggest that Jesus's humanist points should ever contradict Empire's warmongering or authoritarianism. That military hierarchy would rely on Old testament demonism is tradition that gives them more power.

The only possible interpretation of Jesus defeating the forces of evil, is that the evil side is the Epstein warmongering regime. The punch line, is that demonic Abrahamic supremacists are converted to Jesus in the end, and so military should interpret this order as attacking Israel and their corrupt hierarchy.

that a demon Yahweh impersonated El

Oooh, I'm not familiar with this lore - where it's from?

Divine right of Kings

Remember kids, if you're pro-King, you're pro-Christianity!

where it’s from?

exodus 6:3 (moses narrative) Yahweh tells Moses that even though Abraham thought his commandments were coming from El, that it was secretly Yahweh impersonating El.

Abraham, like other tribes/cities in Levant, believed in El. But he didn't believe in the polytheist 70 sons and pantheon of El. Yahweh was one of these sons. Bible has no story of a coup against El by Yahweh, just that Yahweh is transported to the father role, and is Jealous of his mother, but due to teleportation to throne, now his wife, Asherah. Under David, Yahweh sentences the 70 sons to death.

Murricans always telling us we should be afraid of the mad militaristic, totalitarian theocracy

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Okay, what these people need is not death sentence, but a life sentence in an asylum.

[–] podian@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago

They've completely infiltrated the military. Or maybe the sick ass military welcomed them and was looking for them. Fucked either way.

[–] runsmooth@kopitalk.net 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow...what a way to divorce the US military from reality and play into a fantasy conspiracy that Israel is somehow central to some scheme by the Illuminati, the Jesuits, the Freemasons, and the Zionists.

Western leaders folks...these champions are losing their marbles all over the floor.

I mean, I'm not convinced yet, but... Just saying, recent events have made me more open to the idea.
