Soldiers told Trump's war in Iran will bring about Jesus' Second Coming - Magical Realist - Mar 5, 2026

The Bible thumpers are at it again getting all excited that Armageddon is coming. How can so-called followers of Jesus take any joy in the wholesale slaughter of other human beings?

https://dailyboulder.com/us-troops-file-more-than-200-complaints-after-being-told-trump-was-anointed-by-jesus-to-spark-iran-war/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQVx9BleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFQOXhkTVp1YWxjYmNqeE5Kc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHi0yCTtip7qxG4Ubmew5C8c2qUzy9QCcFxHZbuIxAI1wHLjV3w9wkPK4WnBT_aem_OTHc-Fs7iCwOXsC_sn_dYw

"According to reporting from multiple news outlets, U.S. military commanders have been telling troops that the war with Iran is literally part of God’s plan to bring about Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The reports cite complaints filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), stating it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across every branch of the armed forces — including the Marines, Air Force and Space Force — alleging that extremist Christian “end times” theology is being used to frame U.S. military action.

One complaint, reported by The Guardian and first shared with journalist Jonathan Larsen, came from a noncommissioned officer in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran.

According to the NCO, their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.

So praying... praying... is now "religious fanatic lunatics"?

You've lost your TDS leftist mind.

There's no difference in believing God is on your side in a war whether your Christian or Muslim. They are both using religion to justify killing. And they are both the definition of a holy war.

Morally equating people who rape virgin women in prison so they can't go to heaven to that pray and what peace is amoral delusion.
And thinking religious people are only ever motivated by their religion, a la "holy war," is stoopid with two Os.

So all Muslims do that? Based on what evidence?

And they're not praying for peace. They are praying for victory.

Ever since rationalising how the Abrahamic religions were likely spawn from China's Mandate of Heaven, I've come to realise what I already knew that religion was just invented by men for the purpose of manipulating others.

So those prayers give about as much change to the outcome of anything as downing a bottle of Whisky. (albeit not particular healthy for you)

Victory is the only peace the Iranians are ever going to get.

Never said anything about "all Muslims." I'm taking about the Iranian regime, where Ayatollah Khomeini literally said that.

So it has nothing to do with the Muslim religion as you insinuated and is only the ramblings of some psycho leader. Thanks for confirming that.

I didn't insinuate anything, illiterate. You're the one who morally equated who "Iran is run by" to a basic display of Christian faith.
Your post literally referenced the Iran regime, dumbass loser. You're so desperate to backpedal that you forgot what you posted, amoral moron.
