Ironically enough, growing up Mormon is what helps me see through the nonsense that is Trump. I got out decades ago and learned hard lessons. I see the fraud that Trump is and Joseph smith was. I wouldn’t be surprised if mitt is mentally out but stays true to Mormonism because it pays his salary. The guy sucks still, would have made a terrible president, but I’m glad to see someone on that side calling it the obvious.
Do they care though? For some reason they really want the world to end so they can hang with Jesus, and if they need an antichrist to fuck stuff up first, they'll be right there voting for him to hasten their doomsday timeline.
This is exactly how my fundamentalist Christian aunt thinks. She knows and readily acknowledges that Trump is a fuckup, she just thinks that's his essential role in the end times.
They even act in bad faith with their own religion. I don't get how they believe but don't think that that kind of mindset will end up condemning them.
The best part is when they actually admit that Trump is flawed, but then go to the Bible. David killed a man to get to his wife; Noah was a drunk; Lot pimped out his daughters. The Lord has often used wicked men to push his agenda, because reasons.
First of all, this is dumb and the antichrist is not a thing in the Bible.
But from tradition the antichrist is supposedly a figure who gains great power, I don't see why anyone would expect they would not be a popular politician.
Well yeah, but it's just funny how all good Christians always talk about how THEY would stand up against the anti Christ with their bible in their hands, yet those exact Christians are the ones voting for Trump who is closer to the anti Christ than we've ever seen before in politics.
Err. Sort of. The NT does have the concept of someone who stands against Christ. But there isn't just one (there may be an archetypical one who will come in the future, that's kind of debatabke), but pretty much anyone who imbedes the spread of Christianity is an antichrist.
Imagine being a Christian an falling back on - reality check- Trump is not the anti-christ because no one is the anti christ because revelation is about the fall of the western Roman empire.
