I love running into these people. Hell isn’t scriptural and it’s easy to bring the receipts. They are cultists, so you won’t change their mind, but they will never forget you or how you knew their fake religion better than they did. I always hope that a seed planted in their diseased minds eventually sprouts, but it’s still fun to give them a solid intellectual wallop.
I grew up in it, and I love when someone realizes that I know more about their bullshit religion than they do.
Goddamn. Can’t this cult just Jonestown themselves already? Seems like the best case scenario for all parties involved.
Is that a trans flag back in there??
Yes, counter protester.
Why are you assuming that? Nothing in the caption or article says that, and they are mixed in with the Christians. Usually counter protestors and protestors are kinda separated.
Absolutely 100% certain. Evangelicals and support for trans rights have never mixed. There’s also significant physical distance in the picture, look at the ground.
Yeah but Evangelicals are also hypocritical, they can pretend you are all right if you believe in what they actually care about which is Zionism and the Apocalypse.
IDK the two people in the front look about 6 feet apart, and the person with the trans flag looks about 10ft behind both of them. Doesn’t seem to be a well attended protest.
Number of “prophecy” end of the world claims that have been: countless
Number of “prophecy” end of the world claims that have been correct: zeroQuack idiots gonna do quack idiot things, and there’s usually a few quack idiots who stand to gain a LOT by convincing the other quack idiots to do things
I lived in the Deep South for a number of years and these idiots are everywhere and think literally everything is a sign of the end times. Hurricane coming? End times. War breaks out anywhere in the world? End times. House fire? End times. Bad cell phone service? End times. Red light taking too long? End times.
These dipshits are brainwashed and there’s no getting through to them.
No argument there. I’m in the north and they’re the same here, just less willing to openly share their “views”. I think the only real difference between the south and the north is that up here they still (somehow) maintain the slightest amount of shame- at least enough to mostly keep their mouths shut about it.
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.
Agreed. Now how do we go about achieving that when a good chunk of the country thinks not Christian=evil Christian killer?
Well, I would not object to those assholes getting raptured any minute now. Less mess and more housing available.
The Reformation was a mistake, people.
Mixing religion and politics is a mistake, people.
Politics and religion have literally been the same thing for most of human history. Religion itself was the mistake. You might even say that the invention of religion was humanity’s original sin.
Allowing religion to continue to fester is a mistake, people.
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.
It’s newsworthy because these people are in power in the US, and starting major wars and attacking sovereign nations on several continents.
Not all of them believe the people who come up with dates, my parents just go by vibes and stupid shit that they see as fulfilled prophecy.
Just don’t ask them about all those prophecies that were fulfilled back in the mid 90s when they were certain Jesus’ return was just around the corner. Or about all those same prophecies that were fulfilled again in the early 00s. Or about all those same prophecies that were fulfilled again around 2008. Or about all those same prophecies that were fulfilled again in 2016. Or…
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 !?
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?
Those were revolutionary communists. The left.
These christian folks are the right. They prefer to murder brown people than kill themselves to bring about awareness to class struggle.
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
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.
Oh wow, easy bet every year right there. And the only people losing money from it are psycho Christians.
Just thinking about the logic here… If you believe Jesus is coming and he’s taking you with him, isn’t this bet a no-win situation?
Let’s say for argument’s sake, he comes back. You’ve been raptured, so you’re literally unable to collect your winnings (and why would you even want to?).
Obviously, logic and rationality isn’t their strong suit, but goddamn they really didn’t think it through.
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.
Logic like that doesn’t work on these people.

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.
That’s rape
And bestiality.
Hopefully the end times will be coming for them. Everyone gets their own little apocalypse. Just leave us out of it.
