Not trying to get religious or anything but just asking for facts or similarities.

    Nothing in the Bible should be taken seriously. This is like asking if Elon Musk is literally Darth Vader as shown in the Star Wars franchise.

      Well yeah the stuff about helping the least among us should definitely be ignored. That shit is truly dangerous.

        OP wasn’t asking about that. He was asking about whether Trump is the antichrist.

        It’s not like we need the bible to tell us to help the needy. And the existence of Christian abortion clinic bombers and parents who allow their children to die rather than seek medical assistance make it clear that taking the bible too seriously can be quite dangerous.

        I’m fine with applying good words from any work of fiction to your own behavior. (Jediism, anyone?) But for fuck’s sake, don’t use the bible (or any other work of fiction) to justify bad shit like bigotry or worse.

        Basically don’t take the bible seriously. At least not any more seriously than you might take any other work of fiction.
