If he was sent by god, it's not for the reason they think.
A fair number of christians want the rapture to happen.
Yep - my mother is one of them - she won't admit it directly, but it's clear from some of the stuff she says.
It's scary shit - I think there are three different "accelerationist" groups trying to destroy society as we know it. The christians waiting for the rapture, Curtis Yarvin's tech bros that want to build their techno feudal cities and the extreme preppers that want to see some return on their investment. Have I missed anyone?
I've always like the way Sam Harris describes this in Letter to a Christian Nation:
It is, therefore, not an exaggeration to say that if the city of New York were suddenly replaced by a ball of fire, some significant percentage of the American population would see a silver-lining in the subsequent mushroom cloud, as it would suggest to them that the best thing that is ever going to happen was about to happen: the return of Christ. It should be blindingly obvious that beliefs of this sort will do little to help us create a durable future for ourselves - socially, economically, environmentally, or geopolitically. Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the US government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this, purely on the basis of religion dogma, should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency.
Rapes* Women
Was gonna say!
Hey, hey. Hey?
They knew.
They always knew.
They don't give a crap about his morals, they just wanted to ban abortion and push their radical political agenda for a theocratic fascist state onto a fully captive set of government branches.
They succeeded on all counts. So... who's the idiot here?
I think some of them are legit trying to speed run the rapture. Trump checks many of the antichrist boxes.
There's always the true believers.
In my experience, though, you get a lot more true believers on the parts that are also super convenient for your immediate political and personal goals.
Let's not forget the pedophile, rapist, and convicted felon part
I suppose evangelicals are generally the most gullible types of people…
Gullible or full of shit about their beliefs and instead only using religion to support their hatred?...
You forgot "is besties with notorious paedophiles"
Bro we gonna starve
Remarkable that there are people who think this guy is the literal second coming, but the ones who are critical of him are the ones with a derangement syndrome.
Maybe they are illiterate and just can’t tell Jesus of Nazareth from Jesus of Narcissism.
