    Ah, yes. I shall provide a justification for the war on Trump’s behalf, as a devout follower of Vengeful Christ and Merciless Mary.

    You see, after conquering the Roman Empire, Jesus viewed the Persians as enemies of God Himself. Those who follow Zoroastrianism do not follow God. It is for this reason Jesus sought revenge against the Persians for their lack of faith, and instituted pogroms to remove any of Persian descent from the Empire. Regrettably, Jesus was unable to complete His campaign against the Persians before his untimely death.

    What Trump thought of as a “feeling” was actually an order from Vengeful Christ, to finish what He started. Jesus considers the existence of Iran to be an affront to His eternal glory, and the region must be subjugated for Jesus’ return.

      This but unironically. US Military leadership has been pretty open about the war on terror actually being a war on Islam. I don’t actually think it’s that simple, but I’m sure at least a few high ranking officers sincerely believe that.

      If there are antichrists, these people are it. Jesus was violent twice at most and with zero fatalities. Even then, it was to drive out the profiteers who were desecrating the temple by using the idea of God to exploit poor people.

      If they get their wish for the return of a Rambo Jesus, they’re gonna be pretty shocked when he starts cleaning house in the mega churches, as the Bible claims he did in the temple.
