The same group of Americans all worried about the anti-Christ found the one guy who matches the profile and decided to make him President. Twice.

Accelerationists and bigots make up a large chunk of that bloc, and “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” make up the rest.

(The oligarchs that bought him don’t count in the same group as the plebeians.)

Religious accelerationists are beyond my understanding. Provoke God into action? And how exactly do you plan to avoid God's judgement? I mean religious extremists often give impression like they think their God is stupid and you just need to find a loophole in the rules.

They were made in God's image and they are morons therefore God is a moron. - Moron Thinking

Moron Logical Fallacy - A moron who has the unfounded belief that they are smarter than anyone else and anyone who claims otherwise is a moron.

God is omnipotent. He doesn't need our help to sound the trumpets and bring about Revelation.

It's like they started at Genesis, got bored in Leviticus, and skipped to the end of Revelation without bothering to read about that pesky Jesus fella in the middle.

Bold of you to assume they even opened a bible to start with

It's a mental illness, it doesn't make sense, and its no use trying to make sense of it.

I mean, there's literally an "actual" case in the Bible. I'm not even religious, so sorry if I can't provide much detail, but in the story of Sodoma and Gomorrah there's this bloke who asks God to save one soul. After God says okay, he's like, if you could save one, couldn't you save another? Then he proceeds to get God to save everyone in the same vein.

Yeah, God in his infinite wisdom and his mysterious ways (of being convinced by a 10 cent trick).

I hate to burst your bubble there, but actually it's the exact opposite. Abraham hears what God is going to do to Sodom and Gomorrah (and that's only because God chooses to tell him), and thinks to himself, "Oh shit, my cousin is there. I don't want him to die."

So Abraham starts out small. He says, "if I can find 50 good people, you won't murderhobo everyone?" "Fine," God replies. Now Abraham has something he can work with. He tries 45, God says cool. Abraham gets God to agree on 40, 30, 20, 10, each time God agrees. At 10, God up and leaves, and Abraham just chills there.

But of course, they can't find even 10 in those cities. Oh well

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, that's the story. Thanks for the correction.

God's just trying to avoid a buffer overflow. So only one person per request.

429 Too Many Requests

There are a lot of us who've been paying close attention, though, and are doing all we can.

I was 17 when 9/11 happened and I've been watching and learning. Now is the time to move

You may be able to survive the shakeup. Maybe a loved one doesn't end up in Lubbock or Alcatraz or CECOT. Maybe your neighborhood looks like it always did.

Maybe your state plays nice with the feds. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe shit gets hairy. The people pulling Trump's strings want Christian Nationalism and they'll get it, at least here in the South. We fought em before and we'll fight em again. We may lose, though.

The time for action is here.
