      3 One of its heads seemed to have received a death blow, but its fatal wound had been healed. In amazement the whole earth followed the beast.

        Well, that should be reassuring to those who need it, then. The wound was neither fatal nor healed.

        Not that a candidate bearing multiple points of uncanny RESEMBLANCE to what the Bible says the Church should WATCH OUT FOR in the personage of the antichrist so that they don’t accidentally end up following him because they were among the deceived has managed to stop many of them so far, but hey, if it avoids water like a duck with late stage rabies, we should put it on the lifeguard stand.

        I followed that rabbit-trail because, why the fuck not.

        Imma agree with that one person, it was kinda aneurism posting. Maybe it was just the structure of the post felt unhinged.

        Anyways imma also agree with the underlying idea that, yes, theocratic fascism loves that kinda shit. Solidarity.

      Prophecy is intentionally vague and the reason it endures so well is because it can apply to such a broad amount of topics…

      HOWEVER, we’ve had a shit load of things that match up with prophecies too fucking close in the past few years. There’s a part of my brain that was joking at first, but now is wondering if this really is the end times.

        Well, like Luke 2:10, Be not afraid, I come with good news of a great joy. God isn’t real. No one can see the future. All of this is bullshit, and the only thing that matters is what you do about it. We all have personal responsibility, and no one should be putting that on the shoulders of their sky-daddy and saying, “It’s all part of his plan.”

        How cod it be the end times, the harkening events of Ragnarok havent happened yet. Also why resist it, if the world is to end thwn it is to end betted to embrace it and go out with it in madness and glory.
