this IS the "Politics, Religion & Philosophy" sub-forum here, so i thought i'd submit something i ran into while searching for other things-
(clicky)will american evangelicals spot the Antichrist, or even worship him? this is what the bible says-
“He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.”
Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10
(clicky)at least one fundy wingnut says trump "is our miracle*."
“He did everything wrong, politically. He offended gays. He offended women. He offended the military. He offended black people. He offended the Hispanic people. He offended everybody! And he became president of the United States. Only God could do that.”
-Franklin Graham, False Prophet
*“They [Israel] love him like he is the second coming of God..."
Wayne Allyn Root, self-described "jew turned evangelical christian"
"I am the chosen one." [our dear leader. who looked up to the heavens while speechifying this yesterday]

American evangelists will likely end on worshiping the Antichrist.

After all, they worship Donald J. Trump, and he just declared himself to be "The Chosen One".

:clown: "I Am The Chosen One!!"

:roll: "I'll alert the Media."

I'm definitely in the "ice cream" camp.

I don't believe most people I know view Trump as the "antichrist" or something equally dramatic.

They just believe he has a screw loose somewhere.

I personally know people who ignore Mr. Trump's stupidity only because he moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and then they claim that "He has done many great things".

I’m not an evangelical, I’m a Lutheran, but it’s possible Trump is the Antichrist.

If I were the Antichrist, or the devil, the first thing I would do is confuse every religious person and make them think that doing bad things is good, and doing good things is bad. I would get the organizations to cherry pick the wrong texts for their holy books, interpret them in the worst possible way, and chastise anyone who dared to question it.

In my opinion, multiple people from every major organized religion in the world beat me to the punch over 1000 years ago...
