    “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.” - Jonathan Larsen

                                    Any ideology with enough power always starts behaving like this, the nominally atheist Soviet Union and China also murdered millions.

                                      The current setup is still the less bad one, even a quick glance into a history book should be enough to see how bad it was with soldiers in charge.

                                      (I'm from a country that already had 2 military dictatorships)

                                        That is the $.64 question you might imagine that they are secure but the commercial record of security for these companies is not exactly stellar

                                          @BrianJopek religion needs to die in a fire. I understand there are excellent human beings who are religious, but IMHO, pussyfooting around and being polite about “faith without evidence” is a slippery slope to this kind of batshit insanity. Where does one draw the line about mystical belief?

                                          @nomdeb @BrianJopek I don't really care if people have mystical beliefs. Just leave me and the rest of the world out of it. If their mystical belief tells them to kill or even to legislate away other peoples' freedoms, then they can get fucked.
