One of two Michigan brothers arrested in Tunisia this week on suspicion of terror says he is the Islamic messiah foretold to bring about Judgment Day, according to social media posts discovered by The Daily Beast.

NBC News identified one of the brothers as Patrick Alan Lawwill, 31, based on a passport shown to them by Tunisian officials Wednesday morning. Public records show Patrick has one brother who matches the age of the other suspect arrested in Tunisia, 32-year-old Nathan Wells Lawwill.

Nathan posts on Facebook under a pseudonym where he says he is a convert to Islam who does not speak much Arabic and recently married in Tunisia. The day before his arrest, Nathan wrote he is a divine being.

“I am two in one. Mahdi to Muslims and Messiah to the Jews,” he wrote. “Christians hate me because they know Jesus when they see him. But not Jesus when I am hidden in plain sight. Did you not read all the parable and see the signs when I was still yet with you and now too?”

4. Nope

Maybe I should've said;

"seems as legit as any of the other Saviors in the last 6000 years"

6. I assume that there will be a trial, so we'll find out on Judgement Day.

can anyone prove him wrong?

Nobody was able to prove the gunworshiping terrorists of the Bundy Militia were wrong, so maybe this guy will get lucky as well.

7. I've never met an atheist who believed in "Judgement Day."

You're the first.

8. Have you never met a militant atheist? After the trial, comes the verdict and sentencing.

I've never met an atheist who believed in "Judgement Day."

Seriously, find some militant atheists and ask them how their trials went, with a particular focus on how they ended.

It's not so hard to educate yourself.

10. Have you never been tried? Have you never been convicted? Have you never been sentenced?

I've never met an atheist who believed in "Judgement Day."

I'm trying to understand the reason for your ignorance, here.

There must be some explanation.

11. I've never met an atheist who believed in "Judgement Day."

Because "Judgement Day" (sic), when capitalized, refers specifically to a religious concept.

Perhaps that will help explain my "ignorance" here.

12. Go yo your local courthouse and watch a few trials. (Or watch some lawyer shows on TV)

Educate yourself.

I can't do it for you.

You have to have the desire to learn.
