MAGA "Christians" are all for this Armageddon stuff because, due to an incredibly poor reading of scripture in a likewise incredibly poor movie series called "Left Behind"... they get the F outta the way before any of the bad stuff happens!

Sorry, but that's not in the Story. Oh, there's an AC or two and an Armageddon and all, and the current world geopolitics and the current US Pres fit the description.... but one KNOWS the time, not even Yeshua, but only the Father.

SO, sometimes... "Sometimes You Bomb Iran"

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
It's all part of God's plan

[Verse 1]
Well, if you want that peace
You can't be quiet
When there's a picture of you hanging out on an island

So you best be getting your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

[Verse 2]
Politicians and preachers get hard as a bone
Talking holy war
It's two birds, one stone
Get your Ted Cruzes and your Huckabees
Somebody set ole Lindsay Graham free
Flip Miss Tulsi, get the war machine rolling

Where it's gonna stop
Ain't nobody knowing

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
It's all part of God's plan

Well, bomb 'em to hell
Every boy and every girl
Be the change in the regime
You want to see in the world

Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

[Verse 4]
Bomb 'em to hell
Beat all the thugs
That Palantir's one hell of a drug

Government contractors salivating
There's real good money in a liberation
Same playbook as 2003
Looks familar to you
Looks familiar to me

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

thanks for the mammaries!

#53

Yeah, pretty much:

#58

Aw, well, at least we now KNOW THE TRUTH!

Stalin used "militant atheism" as an excuse to wipe out at least 12 million people:

-If Man was created before Woman then why do men have -------?

To make sure BJ is happy either way?

;;

("Men have ------- because all human embryos begin with a shared, default development plan that forms mammary structures before sex chromosomes trigger differentiation into male or female around week 6-7. ------- are essentially a "pre-installed" feature of the mammalian body plan, and for men, they are a vestigial byproduct rather than a functional necessity.")

- non sequitur.

Not at all. I just said you shouldn't be so self-righteous about your opinions of religious people, considering what some extreme atheists have done.

- this superstitious crap

We all know what opinions are like... some people just have two of those when you count the one they speak out of.

The difference in this conversation is that I know my opinions are just that, and you believe you KNOW the truth, per your distain of the opinions of others.

So, you and some mouthy rwing Gnostic who, "knows because they know' have much in common.

- and you believe you KNOW the truth

Pretty obviously refers to your insistence that anyone who disagrees with your profound knowledge about, "Bronze Age goat herder myths" is obviously wrong.

Like I said, just like any rwing Gnostic, you think you KNOW the truth.

The rest of us know that we have opinions, which you degrade... prolly out of a lack of confidence; we don't think we have the certain knowledge that you claim by deriding the opinions of others.

- it's no different than being extremely knowledgeable about something like The Lord of the Rings.

You can't help yourself, obviously. Derision of people who happen to disagree with your opinions says that you are:

A. Not actually confident in your opinions and
B. Project belief that your opinions are facts... again, just like any Gnostic rwinger.

#74

I gave my opinion on the subject of the article in #12. Perhaps you didn't get it.

oh, and:

- They're stories. Period.

Thanks for confirming that you believe that your opinions are Facts. Just like any Gnostic rwinger, you know because you know because you know.

Of course, we have all known that for years.

Meanwhile there are physicists, astrophysicists, neurophysicists, the former head of the Human Genome project, prominent Phds in all sorts of sciences that disagree with your OPINION.

Here's one now, neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman, who will tell you that the next time a neuron has a conscious thought will be the first time... and about his belief in God.

#82

... is no kind of argument at all.

And your opinions remain just that, not facts as you would have us believe.

#84

People who use derision to try to prove that their opinions are actually facts are... kinda sad, really.

Aren't you the one who got slapped around recently for not grokking that wine was usually healthier to drink than was the local water 2000 years ago?

- no one will watch

People who think that their opinions are facts are too close-minded for any new information.

- I find it interesting to push your buttons on this

Ah, so. Now, when confronted, you were just, 'pushing buttons".

You as see-through as clear glass.

- a logical fallacy fanatic

Appeal to Authority... is when there is no rationale given, as I provided in the link.

And if we took away your ad hominem and several other logical fallacies, you wouldn't be able to post at all.

#89

The last time we did this a few weeks ago, you hurt yourself and everyone pointed and laughed at you.

I don't want that to happen again.

#91

I liked my answer better... 'so BJ could be happy either way'.

Twoofy, that was the thread you also said Mary was underage... until someone pointed out to you that 12-14 was the average marriage age.

Which was right after your fiasco about the wine being worse than the water... to a blind horse, or something like that.

#99 |

'militant atheism' was State Policy, not just Stalin's personal belief.

#103

That does not make it rape, either, in that culture at that time.

Twoofy,

In the story, this is a spiritual happening, not a physical one.

M'K? Now, you may not believe that, but that's your opinion, which is not necessarily a fact.

On Topic....

Right before US Troops were told this was about Armageddon, Marco Rubio was saying that backwards Iran thought this was about Armageddon, lol.

Scratch some atheists, and apparently you get a rwing Gnostic who KNOWS that what is just actually their OPINION is really Fact.

I know what I say is opinion and or belief... you two need to hide behind ad hominem because you KNOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW that something is a myth, and couldn't possibly be real.

btw, all that 'New Atheist' stuff died of hubris at least a decade ago, and more and more people realize that maybe they don't KNOW everything there is to know.

Opinions and beliefs are fine either way... being -------- to anyone who disagrees with you is passe.

While ignoring the silly self-serving question above...

On Topic, it turns out that Trump's War had wiped out all the so-called Moderates that were vying to lead Iran, and as the only leaders left are the Radicals, Khomeini's son is now the leading candidate to lead Iran.

- A lot of those "predictions" were authored after they happened, so, --------, as usual.

That was actually true until the Dead Seas Scrolls discovery and scientific confirmation provided very early copies of the texts... verifying predictions of events that occurred centuries and even millennia later.

#139

Picking cherries is a logical fallacy.... specifically a fallacy of suppressed evidence.

Key Fulfilled Prophecies
The Rise of Cyrus: The prophet Isaiah predicted Cyrus by name over 100 years before his birth, stating he would conquer Babylon and allow the Jews to return from exile.

Destruction of Tyre: Ezekiel accurately predicted that the city of Tyre would be besieged by Nebuchadnezzar, and later that its stones and timber would be thrown into the sea by a future conqueror (Alexander the Great).

Destruction of Nineveh: Nahum prophesied that the city would be destroyed by fire, which was fulfilled in 612 BC by a coalition of Babylonians, Scythians, and Medes.

The Fate of Jerusalem and the Jews: Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (fulfilled in 70 AD) and the subsequent scattering of the Jewish people among all nations.

much more at the second link

Some scholars, religious or not, document 2000 out of 2500 predictions fulfilled, others about 800 out of 1600.... so far.

#142

I still think it's so BJ will be happy either way.

#144

Intuition is also a powerful tool... wonder where it comes from?

Running simulations they are:

- we'll get hit by an Iranian terrorist attack.

One might get rich betting on that eventuality.
