It ain't going to happen. Relax.
It must REALLY suck to be so paranoid, Chicom.
Who? Give me an example. Do you mean that some military leaders are Christians, and that's dangerous? Pete Hegseth for example may very well believe we are nearing end times, as millions of Christians do. If so, tell us how it's dangerous. Is there some passages I'm unaware of that calls for some radical action when 'signs' of the end times appear? My understanding is preparation consists of being a good Christian and getting you shit in order. I'm not aware of what part of 'being a good Christian' is 'extremely dangerous' to others.
I'm not suggesting that you don't have actual reasons for believing it's 'extremely dangerous', I'm sincerely asking how and why. I'd hate to think you were falling into the same trap the left does. Not saying you are, it just looks like it to me. Again, maybe I'm unaware of things an 'end times believer' might do that could put us in danger. If it exists, I'd sincerely like to know.
Ol Kegsbreath himself for starters.

Tell me genius. What's the fucking difference?
Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is described as being deeply influenced by Islamic apocalyptic beliefs. According to reports, he is said to be "obsessed with the end of days" and believes he has a "special part" in hastening the return of the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, a central figure in Twelver Shia Islam who is believed to be in hiding and will reappear to establish global justice. This belief is tied to the concept of Malhama al-Kubra—a great battle interpreted by some as a confrontation with Western powers. Exiled officials and former study partners claim Mojtaba’s worldview is shaped by these end-times traditions, making him potentially more willing to escalate conflict. His appointment as the new Supreme Leader, amid claims he is in a coma and lost a leg, has raised concerns about the future direction of Iran’s regime.
Ok, I will.
I asked simple questions, trying to be fair giving you a chance to admit you were just being dramatic out of ignorance and hadn't thought it through. Instead, you doubled down on the libtard playbook: ignorance plus arrogance.
Your core mistake is equating radical religious fanatics with rational believers in faiths that have survived thousands of years of intense scrutiny by minds far sharper than ours. You're comparing sane people following time-tested doctrine to an insane dictator who deliberately misleads armies of hate-filled morons into believing religion demands killing anyone who rejects their twisted narrative. In short, you're equating the sane with the insane.
I asked for any evidence any at all that Christians who take the Bible's end-times prophecies seriously pose a danger to anyone. Reality? The worst you might get is someone becoming a better person, getting their affairs in order, and preparing their soul, because that day could come anytime it's not on a calendar. What did you do? You quoted an insane thug who knows exactly what he's doing: bastardizing a peaceful religion to radicalize drones. Give a guy who already fantasizes about rape and murder a couple of out-of-context verses telling him to kill the non-converted, and he'll bow, chant, and do whatever you want.
If you'd bothered to grasp even the basics of world religions, you'd know classics like 'kill the polytheists wherever you find them' get thrown around as proof Islam is inherently violent. Dig one inch deeper and you learn that verse targeted specific Arabian polytheist tribes who broke peace treaties and attacked Muslims in 630 CE. It authorized fighting only those actively hostile eye-for-an-eye style, not blanket genocide.
Islamists deliberately rip those verses out of context to turn thugs into ignorant killers serving their insane cult leader. Too many people confuse Islam (a religion) with Islamist (a brutal killer cult hijacking the name). Huge difference or at least there should be.
For the record, I don't practice Islam, never have, never will. But I try not to run my mouth about things until I've actually learned something about them. You might want to try that before the radicals you claim to oppose own you.
Back to my original simple question: How exactly does a Christian who believes we might be nearing the end times endanger anyone? You answered with the rantings of a lunatic Islamist propagandist and pretended the two deserve equal comparison. That's textbook ignorance. The only question left is whether it's genuine misunderstanding or pure stupidity. Your response so far is a big strike against you.
Before you or any others run out to find your favorite quotes from the Koran (a book I think is nuts, by the way) to prove an irrelevant point. Why is it irrelevant? I asked specifically about Christians that take end times prophecy seriously, not Muslims and certainly not crazy Islamist. Even so, please at least learn the context at least a little if you insist on arguing about Islam, before making a fool of yourself, again.
FYI, I typically agree with your posts, but I rarely agree with everything anyone says, and I call out my disagreements regardless of where someone sits on the political spectrum. Sorry about that.

Was it me?
yes.
with a caveat.
I would say it like this though:
Yes, the finalization of the long term plot to create a globally integrated technocratic surveillance state has a theocratic overlay as part of it's public relations campaign.

Each generation since the death of Jesus have believed they are the final one.
Revelation was written for that generation of first converts.

In America, opportunities are around every corner. The Hawkeye's of America are no exception. Think of how much the prepper companies have benefitted, lol. If this guy isn't bunkered down in a re-enforced shipping container, he buried deep underground, I'll pour out every can of soup I have.

they start creating wars on purpose to help it along in a misguided way.
Okay, pretending you have a working brain capable of reason: If Hegseth believes we're nearing the 'end times,' what exactly does Christianity demand he do that even a simpleton would call a 'danger to America'?
I assume anyone that believes our existence is a result of design (not random luck (mutations)) should terrify people, right? Only those that believe everything we see is a result of random chance should have power, right? People like you, that have done the deep dive into our origins using your extensive scientific knowledge, eliminating the need for faith. You don't have to 'believe', you know for sure, right? Or at least, smart people you believe, know for sure, right?
I don't want to overwhelm you, so just stick to the first question, and try answering that first.
Starting an illegal war in the middle east doesn't qualify in your alleged mind?
I'm going to take a second to recognize improvement when I see it. You didn't end with the typical, 'you are an ass-eater war pig globalist...........'
The only problem now? Your comment is lacking any argument to consider. Hard to argue against 'they'. Those people are behind every problem we've ever had. 'They' are everywhere and both sides love to blame 'they' for every problem. It's much easier than figuring out who 'they' are, isn't it?
