    Mark my words. These people are not just willing, but eager to unleash nuclear hellfire in the Middle East, under the ludicrous delusion that they can fulfill prophecy and force Jesus to return. They shouldn’t be trusted to run fast food joints or craft supply stores, much less a superpower. It’s an apocalypse cult. They’ve convinced themselves that they’re better than everyone, but their religion spread across the globe by genocide, enslavement, and forced conversion, not by loving their neighbors. They have been trying to end the world for 2000 years.

      Imagine it actually worked…

      “Congratulations American Republicans! You won the God Prize! Murder enough innocent people in the right place and you win a visit from Jesus and salvation forever! You know what totally jives with our teachings of love and respect for your neighbors? Mass murder!”

      Not only is their kind better than everyone else in their eyes, but even among their kind, they as individuals are the CHOSEN ONES to fulfill the prophecy! I mean, they’re so smart and awesome that obviously the limitless power that created the cosmos needs a little help from such a very important big boy human.

      And then they go online and complain about how little kids all get trophies and told they’re worth something, or some shit.

      It’s delusions of grandeur, but in an especially Dunning-Kruger way.
