      The Bible is more of less a study in human error and human potential. Of course they have caught on to the concept of narcissistic idiots in power being a bad thing. I’m sure there were plenty of those back in the day and plenty who were far worse than trump.

      Hell, we have leaders right now in the world who are worse than trump and they have all been in power for decades. The biggest difference is that most of them are smarter and more cunning than trump, who is an 80 year old toddler that wants attention all the time.

      American Christians are pure evil but there’s a lot going on now that lines up with warnings issued in their book

      As a former Christian, It’s been SO hard keeping my non-faith while actively living at the same time as the Anti-Christ.

      Dude REALLY wants to be the anti-Christ, and the “Christians” that put him in office want that too. They think they’ll be rewarded for putting their fellow humans(& the planet) through hell, and bringing on the end-of-days sooner, rather than later.

        The Bible says there will be many antichrists. Anyone who contradicts Jesus’ teachings, or misrepresents or misunderstands are antichrists. That would include misogynistic apostles. (1 John 2:18)

          Hard agree, but I’m not here to argue against entire denominations. I personally despise any organization/religion above the Congregation level.

            So, Nathaniel Hawthorne has been on my mind, recently (oooh, illuminati, Freemason! They used to have some measure of honor, you can search up the Freemason symbology of pauper Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Manly Hall and Lon Duquette do excellent justice to the topic), he wrote Young Goodman Brown for reasons (although being guilty himself of not understanding indigenous American culture, but ignorance of the time, we all are guilty).
