Not a Christian, but I used to be one, and I've never heard of anyone fitting the criteria for the antichrist better than Donald Trump

Its actually remarkable how many of the categories and descriptions and even events he fits into.

There it is. If you hadn't posted it, I would have.

Right? I had a grandparent heavy into that part of Christianity before they died. The guys fits. As does the bad weather. I’m a bit surprised the Christian following hasn’t gone there. Granted, there may not be one of any significance given how bot run the internet is these days.

There’s a fun Forbes article voicing concern about wasting ad efforts on bots. If any relief occurs it will be because of this. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2024/04/16/yes-the-bots-really-are-taking-over-the-internet/

If you ask AI they list the number at 20% not 50%.

Isn't a big part of it how the Antichrist deceives people into following him who ought to know better?

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 4 points 11 hours ago

That is the story, yes.

Many Christians are theologically incompetent. They don't know their scripture. They just like feeling good.

But didn't JD Vance say the pope needs to understand theology more before he starts preaching about what Trump is or isn't doing? /s

Fuck America is so lost.

I think it’s more about community. White culture in america is trademarked by a lack of community. Unless you go to church or join a cult/hate group.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget there's a fair number of evangelicals who want all this to happen and more so their imaginary friend can come back to life and they themselves can live forever. They actually believe that.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

I'm not a religious man but I am a man of faith. I've explained to many people the biggest of the problems to me is accepting that someone can absolve me of all my sins. If I go to hell I go to hell but I own what I've done. That is between me and God and no person regardless of who they are has the right to absolve me of my sins.

It's that fervent lack of accountability it instills in otherwise weak people that really sours me.

Oh, and the general inconsistencies in the rules. Because everyone fails to acknowledge that God may be real but religion is a concept made and evolved by man and man is inherently flawed.

Long story short, my relationship is with God. Not the church. Not the religion. Not Jesus. With whatever I chose to believe is above is all.

Yes I know it's not really responding to what you said but Jesus Christ I have met and dated real Christians and they are so not like these dollartree Christians you have in America.

They are really Christians.

There is no god and no antichrist. Humanity has seen worse. They've all been human.

[–] CTDummy@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Given they stated they’re a former Christian not sure your remark will be a revelation to them. More pointing out the hypocrisy of the same crowd trying to use religion as the reason in every conversation (e.g. sexuality and gender) constantly forget the basics and TL:DR rules of Christianity. Like it isn’t even that far down the list, it’s rule two.

There may have been worse, though many of them were likely not in charge of the self proclaimed “leader of the free world”, not many have exhibited overtly anti-Christ like qualities. I get what you’re saying but it comes off as almost dismissive of gestures broadly at geopolitical landscape.

Still just human beings. No invisible sky goblins required.
