Note from the inside: this was always true. The fundies have been jonesing for Armageddon since dirt was new.
Megiddo, in Israel, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park. I've never been there but it's supposed to be a nice, quiet place and chock-full of major archeological work. It's where the big Final Battle is reported to start at a time of God's choosing. Did I mention that God's the one choosing the time? There's nothing in the scripture that says that can be sped up by the impatience of toothless hillbillies.
It would be wrong for any one among us, the secular people without a craving for Divine Glory, to injure any of them. Even if we had to in order to stop them from destroying our world. That would be wrong, because we are good, gentle leftists who would never hurt a fly. Yup, that would be a crying shame. It sure would.
This is bone shuddering information and while it has always been in the wings of life, Christian armageddon was never center stage until now. Thanks for your illumination and your clarity, Andra Watkins. A government being run by Crusaders from 1200s and the 30 years wars is so powerful a description. I also snapped to with your" I don't want to fix the Constitution, I want something better." Me too. And I believe the Founding Fathers wanted that too. They did the best they could with what they knew at the time, which changed civilization. In many of their letters they call for improvement as the nation matured and not worship of a document that was meant to be fluid enough to reflect the times. A more perfect union needs serious revision. Sign me up.
Thank you Ms Watkins I ran smack into a doctor who has a God complex! Many of his patients are having epilepsy from their medication being taken away from them. I guess he doesn’t like a woman standing up to him and letting him know I understand what happens to a veteran caught in a war long ago. People feel I should be ashamed of serving my country, and having temporal lobe epilepsy. He told me you may keep your medication. I thought what in the world is wrong with this physician. Physician heal thy self came to my mind. These people are still in the hospital, suffering from symptoms of epilepsy along with other illnesses! This cult has infected our whole country! I can only pray a cure happens soon. These White Nationalists are dangerous and destroying our democracy! We, have had so many cults nothing good came from these cults accept the death of innocent believers! My parents watched a movie I think it was called a thief in the night, long ago. I saw how truly frightened they were. Opeus day Catholics believe they are the, New world order! The Knights Templar I think was the Pope’s Army! I agree it takes a community that works together, in order to stop the division in this country. One per at a time! Thank you for saying and sharing this , Ms Watkins it’s very important especially now , everyone needs a seat at the table in a big way perhaps it will definitely defeat, White Christian Nationalist! For such a time as this! Thank you both this is what I needed to hear especially now.
Faith is simply trust in the one source of all that is and all that exists - this comes from the deep knowing / realization of the essence of who you are - ie consciousness / spirit - when one has this faith they accept what is and take action as it’s revealed through the spirit
There's a line from the upcoming Steven Spielberg movie, in which a nun says "Why would he make such a vast universe, yet save it only for us?" And there it is. By all estimates now, within the scientific community of astronomers and physicists, there are more than a trillion galaxies. A trillion. Would it be possible to even begin to explain to these Christian dumbbells what that means? Could they even begin to grasp what that implies in regard to their stupid, Armageddon fantasies? No, I suppose not. Among the MAGA cult, next to the all-out racists, these end-of-days kooks are the biggest assholes who worship Trump. And for what it's worth, I write this as the grandson of a Lutheran pastor, and someone who is not an atheist.
Election Denialism Has Been Going On for 14 years: Cheeto’s Fascist Ploy
Since 2012 when Obama was re-elected, the racist and fascist Cheeto has been beating the drums about election results Everything that emanates from that historically is completely on brand with the doubt that Cheeto has created
In a column on Democracy Docket(https://bit.ly/4sDik2S) Elias points out that Cheeto has been on this election denial campaign for a full 16y Cheeto knows that to gain a broad swath of the electorate to doubt outcomes of election results he needs to consistently repeat his message every chance he gets, no matter where he is or in what context
Take a lesson from Cheeto In order to create a counter narrative and resist the fascist takeover We the People can learn that a continual drip on the forehead over time is THE way to bring resistance to his propaganda Time transcends everything when it comes to “good” propaganda
What if this beautiful life was Gods gift and you wasted it? Perhaps we can have a beautiful life… love our neighbors… treat our mama earth with love and respect.. be good stewards of this wonderful gift…
There is a whole book about this titled "Fantasyland" by Anderson. You may never look at this country the same way again. We are very gullible and very into exceptionalism.
That's because millions of people think they are special and will be raptured up to heaven while everyone else burns in hell. It's the ultimate ego trip of them all.

They give a very generous interpretation to "knowing the season." Even if they make the season themselves.
Indeed, their capacity for rationalization is infinite.
Where do we go to find out about your suggestions on how to prepare?

What will they think if Trump pulls out?
"It's God's will". They have the attention span of gnats.
Their pastor dictators always find a way to convince them that whatever happens is God's will. It's all part of the programming.

The Nationalists are going to get us all ended at the rate they're going....including themselves.

That whole concept of "bringing about the End Times" is about as dumb as can be. It's unfathomable.
It implies God takes orders from inbred hillbillies. Dang, did I say that out loud?
Yet millions believe it. Fanatically.
What if this beautiful life was Gods gift and you wasted it? Perhaps we can have a beautiful life… love our neighbors… treat our mama earth with love and respect.. be good stewards of this wonderful gift…
Sadly…
There is a whole book about this titled "Fantasyland" by Anderson. You may never look at this country the same way again. We are very gullible and very into exceptionalism.
Agree. That's an excellent book.
That's because millions of people think they are special and will be raptured up to heaven while everyone else burns in hell. It's the ultimate ego trip of them all.
Not a biblical scholar, but didn't Jesus say something about the *checks note* sin of pride?
