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.

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.
There was a really interesting article posted the other day about the Antichrist. Religious folks are really wacky.
That’s a very interesting article but does 2019 qualify as “the other day”?
Lol! I didn’t even look at the date. It was posted in another instance just yesterday or the day before…I can’t remember which.
Religion can certainly be problematic but I think its worth bringing up how monotheism specifically acts as a mind virus at its worst. It’s inherently exclusivist and closed minded, priming people to see those that don’t believe in their god as not human and can even act as justification to bring pain, suffering and death upon nonbelievers. It’s also inherently centralized and authoritarian which is why it to works synergistically with oppressive forms of governence.
Polytheism is riddled with mystical thinking but, generally, beleiving in more than one god makes it more difficult to use it as a justification to hurt people that don’t believe in your god. By having a wide variety of divinities it is naturally decentralized.
Christianity wiped out Roman polytheism with relative ease and ushered in a millenia long dark age. Politicians/Rulers of long past and even today recognize the coercive and unifying power of monotheism and are often keen to wield it to stamp out dissent and concentrate power.
Monotheism is also effective at priming people to accept autocracy. If you believe in one supreme all knowing deterministic god then it’s not that hard to believe in a human ruler wield absolute power as god’s chosen one.
Democracy and monotheism in many way incompatible phiosophies. It’s why the Greeks, South Asian and indigineous confederacies were able to arrive at democractic systems at various periods in history (they were not monotheist) and also why the West had to institute seperation of church and state to become democratic.
I say this not to disparage spirituality as a whole. I personally have been made better by it and believe that it’s core to the human experience but acknowledge that some do not feel a need for it. What we need to be wary of is monotheism. It has brought great civilizations to ruin and promotes conformity of thought which stifles human ingenuity.
These people are mentally ill
And they hold power.
Is this dude on substack a legitimate source? Honest question. We live in the times of lies
I have similar concerns.
I‘m not seeing mention of this on the MRFF site.
According to the authors profile he’s worked at a bunch of known places in the past
Really wish these death cults would get on with it and leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.
I’d be happy to make them some Kool-Aid
I’ve been saying for a while now that the biggest threat facing humanity isn’t climate change but religion. By far.
Capitalism is the sword, religion is the shield. Climate change is the consequence.
When you can justify your actions due to a fuzzy theological belief it’s quite silly. I am an atheist but if there is a god, he gave us the power of reasoning and logic. Then if there is that, why is there any logic to disobey one of ten major rules for humans to live by? He put them in a rock according to the story, wasn’t like hidden words needed to be seen by lemon juice or something. They are quite pronounced in the Bible, so why can thry think don’t kill people doesn’t apply to them?
God sent one kid, why not another if an amendment was needed in the killing but?
Climate change is a real threat that will affect the lives of billions of people. The only difference is that it doesn’t happen overnight and people are normalizing its effects.
I do agree with you that western religions seem to be another dividing factor and are used by certain individuals to control their own populations with populist bullshit.
The problem is not the religion per se, but the people who are using it to control the population. And this comes from an atheist.
So they admit that Trump is the Antichrist?
Religious fundamentalists in a death cult vs Religious fundamentalists in a death cult
The common people should just send all these lunatics to Mars.
Yeah they are literally trying to speed run the end so they can be mindless automotons in heaven. It’s real fucked up.
These stupid fuckers really think they can bring Armageddon fourth and still get an easy pass to heaven…goddamned morons
They might actually be closing to getting it. Maybe.
Maybe they should read this: https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/
On the other hand… “Those kids would be quite upset if they could read!”
This was even written before he got “shot”
“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.
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.
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.
Why does God need a starship?
Religious people are so easy to manipulate lol
How they don’t see it, when their “pastors” are driving Porsches and living in manions while telling you if you don’t skip a meal so that you can donate to the church you’re gonna go to hell… it’s beyond me.
We had a babysitter whose husband was a pastor and would always talk about being scared for our souls. In her eyes, being a good person and having a private relationship with God was inadequate to avoid going to hell. She truly felt that church attendance and renouncing other religions was the only path to salvation - belief, prayer, and following the teachings of Jesus would be inadequate.
Now I can’t claim to know what God wants. But I can’t see how paying the church and excluding people with different belief systems outweighs kindness.

It’s hilarious that these offshoots of Protestantism basically went so deep into the sauce that they became Catholics again. Martin Luther spinning in his grave.
I’ve dated non American Christians. When I tell them I’m agnostic they more than understand my relationship with God is personal but I do have one. I wish Americans could understand this
There is such a huge difference between American Christians and global Christians. If you’re American all that good you’re missing is by and large in the global Christians because by and large the global Christians come from poverty. What America has done to Christianity is disgusting.
I really hope this photo is real.
Tiny hands confirmed
Yay! Death cult is doing death cult things!
So about that authoritarian religious regime…
Killing girls going to school. Good plan, God. Well done, you fuckin idiot.
