A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald 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 by a non-commissioned officer.

From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations

Hey, so they know that the "helpers" of the fulfilling of Jesus' prophecies can still go to hell right? Is Judas in heaven right now?

The billionaires are going to declare that Jesus Christ has returned in the form of AI to rule the world. The new emperor won't even be sentient, just convincing enough and controlled by them.

Zardoz is the new correct dystopian cautionary tale.

Betting most of them are Calvinists. They think they're God's chosen.
