[beveeheart]

15. Out of the White House!

[Irish_Dem]

17. I'd pay to see that. nt

[madaboutharry]

4. End Timers scare me.

They believe in Armeggeden. The Earth and our worldly existence have no meaning. That is why they think it doesn't matter if the environment is savaged.

[Siwsan]

13. I posted about this, just this morning

Endtimers are the like the American Taliban.

[Arkansas Granny]

25. That's a good analogy.

[HopeAgain]

30. They are the what they think Sharia Law is.

People trying to reinstate Bronze-Age beliefs.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. He'll never make it through security.

[Angry Dragon]

8. so true..then locked up for acting crazy

[doc03]

7. They believe this stuff they want to instigate Armageddon. nt

[karynnj]

9. So - Trump is leading to the huge war and chaos that signal the coming of the messiah

Does that make him the anti Christ?

[treestar]

10. Wait, shouldn't Israel decide what its capital is?

FCOL, the POTUS gets to decide that?

[dubyadiprecession]

28. Israeli leadership is, and they are also putting their citizens lives in jeopardy!

It's as though, they want to go out of their way to start a fight with the Palestinians.

[dalton99a]

12. So there will be a happy ending

[BannonsLiver]

22. ...

[mountain grammy]

16. Yeah, cause god had to wait on trump to do that.

what crap! These people are nuts.

[lindysalsagal]

18. Mentally challenged idiots: sure! Find some to speak at the same rally as potus.

THAT's how to gotv!

WTF is wrong with the south?

[DonViejo]

19. According to an entire set of my in-laws...

the Temple must be entirely rebuilt first. Then the Nazarene returns, Jews are afforded the opportunity to convert or face eternal damnation immediately. No mention of what happens to the rest of the un-xtian world but, Jews are damned. Surprisingly, these in-laws are not Trump supporters, or so they say.

[Roland99]

20. Religious nutcases should be deemed hostile to the US

[Comatose Sphagetti]

21. Don't believe in literacy tests to vote, but...

If you think the Earth is only a few thousand years old.

If you believe a child was born of a virgin.

If you believe noah put all animals, INCLUDING FUCKING DINOSAURS, on an ark.

If you believe a man parted a sea.

If you believe a man walked on water.

If you believe a dead guy is coming back.

Etc., etc., ad nauseam....

THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!!!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. Don't fall for it, Jesus! It's a trap!

As soon as you start reminding them what you taught the first time through, they'll crucify you again!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

26. Evangelicals hate America and want it destroyef

In the apocalypse

[sharedvalues]

27. Yes that's what evangelicals really believe. Get religion out of politics!

Separation of church and state!

As part of Trump's downfall we need to re-establish this bedrock principle of American democracy.

[Vogon_Glory]

29. In the unlikely event that the End-timers are right

The few that pass Final Judgement going to HATE the Hereafter: all those gosh-darn liberals and progressives within the New Jerusalem and so few of their buddies there with them.

[MarvinGardens]

31. Trump is still having rallies?

Doesn't he allegedly have a fucking job to do?

[haele]

32. End-timers need Armeggeddon the way a 12 year old wants it

To avoid taking the geography test or getting in trouble with Mom and Dad for ditching school to hang around corner stores and bum cigarettes and booze from the druggies and drunks.

They don't really care about their God's creation or laws, other than in getting away with pretending they're the center of the Universe and are still entitled to all the goodies no matter what they do.

And they want to ensure they have the last word in their "God's" ear, so they've got to ensure the world ends when they do.

38. "The apocalypse ate my homework"?

[Sailor65x1]

33. He already came back...

With a big robot. And doomed us all to annihilation. Then, Jennifer Connelly changed his mind and saved us. Then Jennifer Connelly married me...

Oh, guess I was daydreaming again.....

[Garrett78]

34. When is religious belief going to be listed in the DSM?

How is that not a mental illness?

[Willie Pep]

35. Maybe this is why Fundies don't care about how bad Republican policy is.

If you think the world will be ending soon then devastating tax bills don't seem so important anymore.

[sunonmars]

36. The first thing Jesus would do is smite all these lying immoral paedo supporting scumbags

GOP = Greedy old Pervs

[Ken Burch]

37. Elvis will be in Jerusalem?
