The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

An American combat unit commander told his non-commissioned officers that President Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint flagged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).
“The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations,” writes Jonathan Larsen, who first broke this shocking story at his Substack. That number is only increasing. Larsen tells me there are now over 200 similar complaints filed over the past three days

This toxic form of white Christian nationalism that uses Jesus as a mascot for white supremacy and militarism is now the functioning ideology of the Trump White House. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is proudly affiliated with a church started by Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, who doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State or the 19th Amendment. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife flew two flags at two properties associated with the January 6th insurrectionists, including one “Appeal to Heaven” flag that Christian nationalists now use. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is a proud member of this extremist branch of Christianity who believes almost the entire Middle East belongs to Israel.
