20. My theory
Mon Feb 10, 2025, 10:55 AM
Feb 2025

The evangelicals actually believe Trump is the Antichrist. They support him because the Antichrist must rule for 7 years before Armageddon happens. In their end times theology, they believe the righteous will be raptured straight to heaven, without the pain and suffering of actually dying.

So they get raptured, Armageddon happens and they watch from heaven while they eat holy popcorn. Christ returns, slays the Antichrist and rules for 1000 years of peace.

This is why they don't give a shit about taking care of the planet. This is why they want WWIII and push for it to start in the Middle East. This is why they "support" Israel - because it fulfills Biblical prophecy. They don't give a shit about Jews.

Now, I am not a Christian and never have been. But Christians who believe in end times theology believe this stuff AND WANT IT TO HAPPEN. All the chaos Trump causes, in their minds, fulfills Biblical prophecy. They support him because they want to go to heaven and the sooner the better, all because basically, they fear death.

They will be doomed with all the other infidels who will be destroyed. I pretty much abandoned evangelical theology many years ago. I think I was probably in my twenties.

Oh, I do believe the planet will be destroyed, but it will be by humans' fucking up the resources and burning it up with carbon-based fuels and we will basically self-destroy. Unfortunately, all the other remaining species will be destroyed as well.

Mon Feb 10, 2025, 05:19 PM
Feb 2025
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scofield_Reference_Bible

"The Scofield Reference Bible promoted dispensationalism, the belief that between creation and the final judgment there would be seven distinct eras of God's dealing with man and that these eras are a framework for synthesizing the message of the Bible.[6] Largely through the influence of Scofield's notes, many fundamentalist Christians in the United States adopted a dispensational theology. Scofield's notes on the Book of Revelation are a major source for the various timetables, judgments, and plagues elaborated on by popular religious writers such as Hal Lindsey, Edgar C. Whisenant, and Tim LaHaye;[7] and in part because of the success of the Scofield Reference Bible, twentieth-century American fundamentalists placed greater stress on eschatological speculation."

Plus, goats are associated with satanism.

Stupid magas take GOAT (greatest of all time, one of their mantras) and literally, not figuratively, literally constructed a golden-hooved false idol. Idols figure in the Ten Commandments ("graven images&quot .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_calf

Goats feature in mythology, folklore, and religion in many parts of the world, including in the classical myth of Amalthea, in the goats that pulled the chariot of the Norse god Thor, in the Scandinavian Yule goat, and in Hinduism's goat-headed Daksha. In Christianity and Satanism, the devil is sometimes depicted as a goat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat#Religion
Jesus said that like a shepherd he will separate the nations, rewarding the sheep, those who have shown kindness, but punishing the goats.[96] The devil is sometimes depicted, like Baphomet, as a goat, making the animal a significant symbol throughout Satanism. The inverted pentagram of Satanism is sometimes depicted with a goat's head of Baphomet, which originated from the Church of Satan.[99]

Likewise there is no power or predictive power to astrology. Much greater success can be obtained by studying history and recent events to understand the currents and forces in human life. This provides greater comfort because one is less surprised by actual events. For example, tRump's tariff actions in his first term and his statements about the economy and tariffs in 2024/5 are much more predictive than any star chart.
