Are you...are you fucking serious?
Jesus was literally all about that peace stuff. What fucking Bible is he reading from exactly?!

This is Republican Jesus who hates brown people and loves rich people.
The anti-christ according to republicans actually sounds like a pretty rad dude.
Republican Anti-christ is eeriely similar to brown Jesus 🧐...
Fundamentalists and Evangelicals try to interpret the book of Revelation “literally.” Most scholars think it was code-speak to give hope to contemporaries being oppressed by the Roman Empire, but these people think it’s prophecy that will be fulfilled at the apocalypse.
Revelation, as they read it, describes an anti-Christ figure, who is a Jewish man, who will unite the world under one government and broker peace for a short time before a period of unimaginable suffering and destruction. Conveniently, they read between the lines and have convinced themselves that “real Christians” will be swept away in the clouds and spared from all that suffering.
Jesus eventually ends up flying down on a white horse with all the real Christians and angels and skewers the anti-Christ, his followers, and non-Christians with swords that shoot out of his mouth and casts them into a bottomless pit.
I mean, it’s really wild stuff. And apparently it’s informing US policy. They want all of this to happen, but they just want to be on the “right” side of it. This pastor isn’t saying they shouldn’t try for peace - just that Christians should furrow their brows about it so God won’t leave them behind.
Yeah, but the Hebrew god can't defeat iron chariots, so we got this. Murica.
MAGA pastors hate woke baby jesus. Also, they don’t pay taxes.
His Jesus is "Do onto others as they would do onto you, except that fucker over there. Shoot him with a howitzer."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armageddon
And every religious nutsack writes their own fanfiction of it, but Israel getting destroyed is usually the central part, so it kind of has to happen, or the "Second Coming of Christ" can not happen.
Jesus is whatever the fuck these cunts want him to be, period.
Book of Revelations mostly. Basically a fanfic about how Rome was going to get wiped out and Christianity would get all their swag. Jesus does not come off as a nice guy in it.
Disagree with your assessment of Jesus being all about peace stuff.
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
-Matthew 10:34
Also fun fact, if you note every time someone has a sword than from the Baptism to the Crucifixion someone is always armed in every scene that involves more than one person.
"Angry piece of shit bastard continues to be an angry piece of shit bastard."
Someone should report him to the College of Pastors and Preachers, and get them to review his license to preach.
Just kidding. There are no qualifications, and there's no regulatory body.
Religious leader advocating for mass murder of innocent women and children so that his religion's Armageddon can come to pass.
How is this not classified as a cult and squashed?
Also, does he really think that supporting genocide is buying him a ticket to heaven? Really?
Right, someone who encourages neighbors to love each other like themselves will be the anti- Christ.
I'd kind of be curious to have some prominent 'Christians' rewrite the New Testament without being able to look anything up.
Just WTF do they think is actually in there?
Genuinely? They believe that when peace happens there it is the final sign of the end times and the second coming is literally happening. And yes... It will be the work of the anti-christ because he is supposed to be some great world leader.
He's 83. Tick tock, motherfucker.
Even if heaven existed, he's not going there.
Sucks that this raging asscunt won’t realize that his worldview is a fucking moronic lie that he bought.
I suspect he knows already. Hypocrisy and religion have always paired well.
If Israeli invaders and Hamas terrorists murdering civilians is what Jesus would want, then I'm on the antichrist's side.
According to every preacher on the streets, hell is where all the cool kids hang out. So come join the antichrist if you enjoy sexual liberation, witchcraft, intersectional feminism, psychedelics, or metal music! Or stay with the preachers if you support church funded child diddlers.
We also have devil's food cake
Also apparently D&D is of the devil, so we got that too.
Who is John Hager, and why should anyone care?
He once said God “sent Hitler to help Jews reach the Promised Land.” https://politomix.com/democracy-now/2093531/march-israel-speaker-pastor-hagee-once-said-god-sent-hitler/
Sounds exactly like the kind of guy we shouldn't be giving a platform
Correction he sounds like the type of guy who deserves to know the bit of a Dane Axe.
Hagee and he (at least) used to have an outsized influence over Christian thought, radio and TV.
Niche influencer, but effective.
Mostly he's famous amongst MAGAs and therefore dangerous and an awful person.
Please do not give these morons any publicity.
Burying your head in the sand doesn't stop these people from getting their message to their supporters.
Stop acting like ignoring the problem gives you some high ground over them. You need to know what they're saying in order to counteract.
Preach 🙏
Could American Evangelicals spot the Anti-Christ?
He has no idea what to look for because otherwise he would see.
Get fukt
Wow, I did not realize this piece of shit was still alive. Unlike some of the others, I think he actually believes the bullshit he spews, and I think that might be worse.
Is he volunteering to lead negotiations?
I think so. Or he's volunteering to be sent over there with a rifle and a new pair of boots.
Charlie Kirk? Is that you? Did you travel back in time so you could let your racist flag fly?
"MY imaginary friend said people with THAT imaginary friend have to stand on that exact spot for MY imaginary friend to come back and destroy the world ...but in a good way somehow, so we gave them that spot decades ago. Now those people with THAT imaginary friend clearly need to kill all those people with THAT OTHER imaginary friend who were on that spot that were forcibly removed and want that spot back.
It's just common sense!"
These are bloodthirsty man-children playing bloodthirsty pretend with real consequences. When your imaginary friend calls for killing/subjugating real people and you agree, fuck you and more importantly fuck your violent religion and your fake evil deity.
Somewhere in the Middle East a Palestinian Jewish pacifist is spinning in his grave hard enough to end climate change
Isn't what they want? Jebus won't come back until the antichrist shows up and what not ... I'm confused, it's like it's all made up...🤷🏼♀️
Abrahamic religions and their followers are a cancer on humanity.
Don't stop at Abrahamic religions. Look at all the fun people in India are having with extremist Hindus.

Wait, Donald Trump is in support of an Israel-Palestine peace deal?
Man that anti-Christ really gets around. His workload is unbelievable. What could be more insidious and obviously evil than working to broker peace between war torn nations? Certainly we can't expect pastor John Hagee to step up and promote peace, everyone knows that peace is evil and invoking the anti-Christ gets you more donations.
