Spoke to my mother in law today and she suggested we read this passage for the Bible that bears some resemblance

To the orange evil dictator in the White House. This passage gave me hope we’re going to survive this reign of terror we’re living though now. I may not be a church going Christian but a not words but deeds one.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The Man of Lawlessness

2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

The Apostle Paul warned us to be vigilant against hubristic evil.

And certainly not to elect it as our leader!

9. That's twice you've done that. You are trying to stop people from talking about their religion

in a place specifically designated for them to talk about their religion without putting it in everyone else's face. Your doing that is as offensive to me, an agnostic, as evangelicals telling me I need to follow their religion or go to hell.

If you don't want to see it, move on.

PS: How did this go? https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20790074

11. What about those of us who are religious? Don't we get a voice? I don't read anything I don't want to read ...

... and I like this op especially. By the way: you do know this IS the religion section. You did know that, right?

If you don't like the religious leave us alone, we didn't go looking for you. I suspect you get your kicks stalking the religious.
