Im not a religious person, I dont really believe in deities, gods, etc.
but if theres ever been an argument for there being an antichrist, I think between the Right wing fascists calling themselves christians in America, and the genocidal warmongering fascists in Russia calling themselves gods warriors, I think they've got it locked up.

The AntiChrist isn't an real person but it is a real idea. Demagogues come and go, often rising and falling in similar conditions and circumstances. The mythology of AntiChrist (and Christ) signals real patterns in human social behavior that generations of people have come to interpret as divine prophecy rather than intrinsic human failing.
Because the modern era grants us so much more direct and easy access to historical events, to mass communication, and to diverse perspectives, its easy to find guys like Trump scattered all through the modern historical moment. From the Park/Yoon government in S. Korea to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Modi's India and Orban's Hungary, we have reactionary, self-destructive leadership echoing through the modern political landscape. Go back a generation or two and you'll find the Reagans and Nixons, the Idi Amins and Hendrik Verwoerds, the Nicolae Ceaușescus and Fulgencio Batistas everywhere.
This is a good point, and also explains why the allegory would fit so many times/places in history going back all the way to Nero or Nimrod as well as having common attributes like the 'mark of the beast', they're all symptoms of fascist type leanings. Fascinating how the bible can be a guide to identifying it while still being a tool for it.
I have an easier time agreeing with this argument.
Jesus: "Your love for others is how the world will know you follow me"
NatCs: "no! our hatred for minorities and golden crosses is how we will show our faith" 🤦🏼
Stereotypes be real lol
I mean, it's a self-fulfilling consequence of a society that explicitly dictates every woman look like a potential 3rd wife / step-daughter the aging patriarch wants to fuck.
We're all just living in Roman Polanski's Chinatown
Once again, the "The harder people are trying to tell/display to others that they have a certain quality, the less they have it" rule applies.
As a non-religious person, this type of behavior annoys me.
Well lot of good old Christian’s voted for Cheeto ass.
Oh wow a christian community where the members are actually christians and not just racists hiding behind a bible and cross. All power to yall!
actually christians
oh look, another "no true Christian" fallacy.
Christian 1. "You're not a true Christian!"
Christian 2: "No, you're not a true Christian!"
...which one do I shoot, guys!? Who's real!?
...So loving thy neighbor is a fallacy now?
I’d argue it’s not really a fallacy in this case when the only reason they claim to be Christian is to get more followers and they actively go against everything their supposed religion teaches.
So you're saying that it's not a fair criticism of many Christians doing exactly what op said? If so you might live under a rock
Why is laezel in the middle?
(Side note, never knew this community is here, glad you all see that Jesus taught love and the MAGA brand of Christian’s are not preaching that. Happy Easter to you all!)
Well no true Scotsman and all that, but bible god is Jesus and is god as the no evidence claim goes, so in lore he's pretty clearly pro slavery, women as property. You can try to deny that but I'll just show you the bible, it's not ambiguous about these matters.
Seems in line with MAGA and all of Christian history basically following after Rome popularized it under a dictatorship and making eternal punishment in hell the canon, counter to the early (first 500 years) church teachings in regards to afterlife.
Obey or burn forever, slavery is good actually, and women are my property does look like something a dictator would find appealing.
You can tall a lot about people by how they interpret the bible and which parts they choose to ignore.
Aren't Christians supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who preached kindness, fought hypocrisy ("those without sin may cast the first stone"), encouraged self-accountability ("if your eye causes you to sin, cast it out"), and gave his life for the betterment of others?
God is an egotistical a-hole. He tested his followers in inhumane ways to prove their faith and devotion and used the fear of eternal suffering and damnation to enforce his will.
A Christian that reads the Bible and takes away the teachings of God but not Jesus is misguided at best.
Christians having to defend themselves explaining these are not real Christians. Is the same as Muslims explaining they are not radicals. To some extend Jews having to explain they don't endorse the actions of the state of Israel.
Atheists: "Look, when you compare China to religious countries..."
