US Military told this war will bring about End Times.

Re: US Military told this war will bring about End Times.


The shift toward a religious theocracy has effectively weaponized our military’s core identity. Because zealotry defies rational deterrence, the promotion of apocalyptic rhetoric by high-ranking officials suggests a dangerous trajectory. We are no longer looking at a conventional defense strategy, but a prolonged war orchestrated by unseen architects. The implications are profound.


————

“Since the start of the unprovoked American and Israeli war on Iran, this past Saturday morning, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been literally inundated with desperate calls for help from military members across all branches, organizations and MOS/AFSC/SFSC designations (military occupational areas). Well over 100 calls have already come in and more keep coming.

These calls have one damn thing in freaking common; our MRFF clients report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new “biblically-sanctioned” war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian “End Times" as vividly described in the New Testament Book of Revelation.

Before their rapture even starts. They'll die starving the rest of us.

what it will take to to root out this evil that has infested the nation.

4. Any other verified sources besides some guy's blog?

If true, I’m sure the MRFF would confirm or refute this report.

6. I was just on the MRFF site, saw comments about the drunk's comments

at some prayer breakfast, not sure it is the same thing.

12. I haven't found any other source that confirms this

15. "some guy" is a former executive producer at MSNBC

Larsen has been involved in some of the most popular and well thought of programs in TV news. Most notably, as executive producer, he created �Up with Chris Hayes,� which was recognized by critics across the political spectrum for its smart, substantive engagement with topics other shows wouldn�t touch and its inclusion of people and voices seldom heard from. Prior to �Up,� he worked for many years on �Countdown with Keith Olbermann,� and also helped launch "Anderson Cooper 360."

and he has a good relationship with MRFF - see eg https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2024/02/prolific-journalist-jonathan-larsen-takes-a-deep-dive-into-the-cesspit-of-horrific-antisemitic-hate-hurled-at-mikey-weinstein-by-so-called-christians/

16. So, then one would expect MSNOW to be carrying the story, right?

Why aren’t they?

5. Modern weaponry certainly has the firepower to create something like the mythical End Times.

But religious fundamentalists still alive when the battles finally end will be sadly disappointed at how the reality turned out very different from what they believed it would be.

[Alephy]

7. The end of times? That sounds a tad self-defeating

I am, myself, my time. No time, no me.

[BidenRocks]

8. Yeah, about that.

Feel free to end times yourself!
As an atheist, I am free of all your theocratical bullshit.
I won't play this game!

[eShirl]

9. great, we're ruled by a doomsday cult

[Scrivener7]

10. These religious hypocrites, along with oil dinosaurs, are the source of every evil in our society. I am so sick

of these pea-brained assholes using their religion to justify every batshit crazy act they commit.

[spanone]

11. Just fucking sick.

[Kaleva]

13. This might be a work of fiction

Something that could be posted in General Discussion but not in LBN which has higher standards.

[Hugin]

14. It's the ultimate in arrogance to try and force God's hand.

I completely believe that there are some people who feel they can.
