    I’ve been waiting for some big Christian group to come out against him for years and I’m thrilled it’s finally happening.

    Unfortunately the ad itself was a bit disappointing…not quite as brutal as the title would have you believe

      Yeah, nothing brutal about Trump being Trump and then some Bible quote. Every single quote in the good book is against someone like Trump.

        They should have put the relevant quotes about the antichrist under each video of him exhibiting said characteristic

    I was raised religious and boy oh boy, let me tell ya, this guy ticks off so many checkboxes is not even a competition. Peak false prophet/antichrist criteria.

    This is more on the right track for how to de-cult people like Trump. Need more anti-Trump conspiracy theories and weirdo prophecies to get through to the crazies.

      Every country has their 10% crazies. You don’t need their votes to govern. Please focus on the 90% with good policy instead of normalizing idiot conspiracy theories.

        I’ve heard it’s 30% so it should be the same. Except in the US only 50-60 percent of people vote so suddenly it is an issue.

          I see it as in the 40s but not close to 50. Then again, how many of them take those poll tests?

        What if those 90% split into 45% and 45%? Then you need those 10% crazies to govern.

    Biblically, there isn’t an antichrist. It’s not a proper noun, there’s not just one. Most Americans’ understanding of eschatology comes straight from Left Behind (and further back, Scofield), which has little connection to the actual text. (The number of Christians who refer to RevelationS, when the tittle of the text has no “s”….)

    And I’d say Trump is definitely “anti-Christ.”

    I can’t think of a time in my Internet life when “Well, duh” was so often the most appropriate response to so many posts.

    On the one hand I really don’t want their support or misguided views and priorities distracting or pushing Harris off course.

    On the other hand fracturing a significant slice of the conservative base into not voting or voting against Trump would be delicious, especially if it meant more congressional and state seats to go blue because of it.

    My evangelical family members seem to be as enthusiastic about Trump as ever. What has changed over the past weeks is that they are no longer sure he’s going to win.

    Dude is a spot on representation of their antichrist. Not that trump is anything other than a pathetic dipshit.
