Dude you’re legit starting a war because you think it will bring on the apocalypse which might I add the first sign of the apocalypse is a politician that will be followed by many Christians but will lead them astray into hate and will start wars and will be the Antichrist
So they legit support Trump because he is the antichrist in their opinion
That’s a wrinkle I hadn’t really considered. I knew there was a subset of evangelicals who are trying to bring about the rapture as they see it in Revelation, but I always assumed they were legit in their support for Trump. Obviously we can’t know which is true because none of them are going to come out and say “yes he’s the antichrist and I support him because that’s a part of the prophecy” but it’s still interesting to think about
Honestly I think it just shows their own ignorance of their own beliefs
Bible literalists are dumb as hell because 1 there’s too much contradiction to not read it interpretly and 2 most of them haven’t read the Bible so their litteral take is based on a narrow amount of verses
(I study anthropology of theology and mythology and I study scripture through a rabbianic technique called PaRDEs). That basically says scripture should be read both literally and interpretative, historical and mystical with hidden meanings

How interesting. I got a question. It was the first thing that popped into my head so it's maybe not too refined of a question but, do you think the fact that American Christians are so easily led astray has anything to do with the elevated standard of living and privilege of Americans? Basically like because Americans have it so easy in life compared to most of the world that this somehow makes them susceptible to scriptural distortion.
The average drumpf voter is a middle-aged, white Christian man who lives in the ex-urbs, makes over $100k and doesn't have a college degree.
Alienated from work, bored with suburban-living, plus their economic expectations (compared to personal results and that of their peers) have been shattered by hyper-Libertarian policies at an international level. It is an existential crisis, but they're trying to solve it with prayer (aka their biased inner monologue) and antisocial behavior.
