If I were religious I would absolutely think Trump is the Antichrist.

When I was 8 or so, I prayed that god would wait to start the 7 years of tribulation until after I graduated college.
I graduated in 2019. Sorry guys.
Doomed by an 8 year old...
That gypsy was right.
There was a web site dedicated to a proof that Trump has all the characteristics of the antichrist whereas Obama only has a few.
I can't seem to find it.
There’s an entire serious sub called (r/trump666). They are more level headed than you’d expect and downvote and mod people too far out there. They have a lot of deep serious discussions on which of the four horsemen Trump and Musk are. They seem to mostly disagree on which person is which dragon/beast/horsemen. Although, I think there’s an agreement that RFK Jr. is Pestilence haha
It’s all over my head but this concept is strong enough now that people devote significant time to reading the lay-lines.
Coincidentally my old handle on Gawker was a photo of Trump and my name was “DiabloHimself.” But that was back when he wasn’t running for office and just tweetsulting Roseanne.
Oh, I can't believe it's really him! Doug Forcette! Well, if anyone knows, it's this guy.
Glad to make your acquaintance and I hope my presence has brought some joy to your day so as to offset the points lost from the ant I stepped on this morning.
Hilarious. Bible is fiction though and feeding into their irrationality is not going to change any minds.
So no worse than trying to use rational arguments?
Yeah good point.
The point isn't that it's fiction. It's that their book is garbage and they pick and choose the parts that they follow.
Thanks for adding this
Ha ha, oh now things are getting a little feisty and controversial. I love a good meme that starts a fire. Nice……very nice.
I remember the first time I heard someone use that phrase Mark of the Beast. It was by a conservative who commented online in the pre-9/11 internet, and it was in relation to a new article discussing the possibility of using RFID chips in humans for very specific reasons. Pets have been having RFID implants to help find them when they get lost.
The guy insisted that these chips are the mark of the beast and he would rather die than get them.
I don't know if he is still around, but he if he is, he is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates is the devil for wanting to chip people but think Elon Musk is awesome for the same.
Lol back in the mid-90s, there were people at my evangelical church that believed credit cards were the mark of the beast. Credit cards.
I'm pretty sure they all still had them though.
I mean, they're not wrong. Enabling lower-income people to impulsively take on high-interest debt is one of the main factors perpetuating wage slavery.
I'm generally opposed to quotes from that awful fuckin' book, but context here works.
the power of gold^tm^ christianity would say blasphemy.
not enough gold linings.
You won't be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. Think crypto chip.
Non-Christian and non-Bible person here, but I think it's probably best to be accurate about citing these things:
Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
