    The one about the end times coming? Seems fitting! Does Christianity even have any other prophecies?

      I mean, the one about the Antichrist fooling Christians fits so well that I’d probably believe it’s actually happening if I believed in their bronze age fairy tales to begin with…

        There’s the line about the beast that was wounded unto death and yet lived that seems vaguely apropos

        13:3:

        And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

        That is eerily similar. But then again, stuff like this probably also happened 2000 years ago. Just start doomprepping if people start wearing black and take up horseriding!

      It does have grifters trying to “crack a code” in the bible. This “prophecy” is based on one of those grifters’ prophecy.

    So God let him lose in 2020, but then decided he wanted him to back in 2024? God is pretty undecisive for an all mighty and all knowing kinda dude.

      Nonono see God both has total control but also loses to Satan at the same time. Doesn’t make sense? Something vague about free will!

      Especially for a guy with a “Divine Plan.” Did God have to change his plan? For Donald Trump?

    If things are going my way, it’s God’s prophecies (as interpreted by me) fulfilled.

    If things are not going my way, it’s God punishing us for not doing things my way.

    Also: if a natural disaster hurts people I don’t like, they’re being punished by God. If it hurts me, God is just testing me.

      Who knew the prophecy of the apocalypse was self fulfilling

      I will never understand Christians, we could have heaven on earth if we fucking built it, but they would rather destroy the world because of their fairy tale book

      If there’s a hell they’re all going there.

    If you are looking for self-centred, gullible people who think that the status quo is to their benefit go to your local church.

    Indeed, a prophecy fulfilled–Maelstrom. An soon-to-be hypercane, and extinction event. It will eliminate most, if not all life on Earth, due to climate change inaction. Or, abortions. It depends on whether you’re a failed one or not.

    My congratulations, America. Bask in your victory, oblivious to the true damnation you have caused. May humanity peacefully protest against the now-inevitable cataclysm you have brought upon yourselves.

    Wretches.

    I believe Trump, Putin, Xi and Netanyahu are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So I do believe a prophecy is being fulfilled, although not one worth celebrating.

    Oh yeah. This is the sort of stuff that will be in the news all the time from now on. It’s pretty crazy already, but just remember what it was like during the pandemic. We were so deep in crazy town that nothing was considered surprising any more.
