This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

There's probably multiple. Or at least there's multiple interpretations of it.

I remember reading that bit.

But even if that's the actual version, this painting just assumes you down near the people you're wanting to see. Even though those groups would likely have mutually exclusive members? Does everybody get split into though copies to be everywhere they need to be at once?

There's so much unanswered lore specifics. Revelation was the first part I stopped believing in.

It just seems like whoever wrote it (I think it's supposed to be John, but those people still think Moses was a real person, so who knows) had dropped too much acid like 10 hours before and was having a really bad comedown phase. None of it is coherent at all.

And the fact that Trump is by far the closest any human has come to being the actual antichrist while they all just follow blindly is the most depressing humor around.

Any other tiny sleight they will call out preemptively (thinking of late 90s/early 00s satanic panic stuff, like Pokémon is evil because it's made by a company called Wizards of the Coast, and they also make a game called Magic!), but actual Hitler Jr? Nah, they love him to death.

Well here's what christianity says to that: If the Bible doesn't tell you about 1 specific topic, it's not important to your redemption. God reserves the right to keep mysteries from you, and the reasons he doesn't go into depth on what heaven is like are:

We aught to focus on preserving and caring for others alive on Earth, and the Earth itself, to demonstrate a worthiness to inherit heaven
he wants us to trust him - to believe that God's creation is good, and believe it so strongly simply on the evidence of this world rather than a sneak peak of the beyond.
it may be indescribable to humans.
if you have to earn a place in heaven, it follows that any description that sufficiently communicates it is like a sneak peak, and we can't really know if we've earned that until we die and weigh the virtue of that person's life.

And the fact that Trump is by far the closest any human has come to being the actual antichrist while they all just follow blindly is the most depressing humor around.

Not saying this argumentatively, but my 2 cents are that I don't think Christians "all just follow him blindly." First, i don't know how you can have much indication of how many of the christians in america voted for him - it's not the case that christians migrate en masse to the south to be with like minded people and atheists move up to the north and now you have a neat divide.

Many Christians will have voted him hoping that by second order effects he advances christian interests. This is something that happens under 2 party systems.

I don't think the most devout and lucid christians support him. Especially after he advanced zionist settle interestsm which is all he stands for now. But uh... you have in the USA a non-lucid christian problem. Mormons, JWs and ridiculous zionist-cult evangelicals. And i'm sorry you have to deal with that, because from what I can tell, those people do blindly support him. To me, those groups are not the best exemplars of "Christian."

There is a valuable lesson in Donald Trump, though - that we should all have higher standards for the moral standing of a leader. As soon as there was even a question of him being a sex pest (i.e "grab them by the pussies) all people, christian or not, shouldn't have voted for him.
