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.

    “No one knows the day or the hour except for my Father. And this orange pedophile who shits himself. That’s gonna make sense in a few thousand years.” - Jesus, probably.

    I don’t know how much of a religious person i am, but i am also quite sure that none of this in the Bible, not at all. I should know i i own two versions of the text.

    • well we should say two translations. It’s a huge text and it’s worth mentioning that being a decent christian should just require the knowledge of the important parts and certainly not the whole of it. But even in the approcachable important parts, this isn’t there. I’m having such strong deja vu.

    Do you want to fight another ‘holy war’? I think not.

    This is what cultists do when they see their reckoning coming. Rev Jones made his followers drink Kool aid (flavor aid actually) when US Senators visited and found he was keeping people against their will. Trump and his crazies will do the same. Remember … Trump could have just been impeached, or not elected in the first place.

    God is all powerful. Also, God needs you to commit war crimes to win this illegal war that he really wants to win. Like, you’re the only way he can win this war. Do it for our all powerful God.

      Don’t pin it on God, he doesn’t exist. This is purely human levels of evil.

        I know that, you know that, and I think they know that. Their idiot followers (or whatever you want to call them) don’t though, so pinning things on God is an age old scam that always works.

    People like this are literally going to cause the end of the human race with their “beliefs”. We have a bunch of religious fanatics killing at the behest of a demented pedophile and his genocidal buddy.

    Religion is a cancer.

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

    For those who haven’t seen the depths of christian nationalism, check out Jesus Camp which came out 20 years ago (those kids are adults now)
