Israel tells ppl in Tehran to leave.

They intend to turn a city of almost 10 million ppl into something akin to the wasteland of Gaza

And there is nothing on Earth that will stop them

Insurrection in the ranks?

These people are mentally unhinged and it's not gone unnoticed where it most matters.

..yea, saw much the same and commented in a similar way. I recall a conversation i had with an ex-colleague during the iraq war. She said the war would be over soon because 'God was on our side.' She found it hard to understand my reply, which I need not mention here

"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." I shit you not.

@Geri @ReggieHere Can religious people never step back to see the farcical nature of their beliefs?

A God of infinite compassion, love and power would stop all senseless deaths and illnesses.

@NicelyManifest

That would detract from their absolute and unquestionable faith.

@Geri

@ReggieHere @Geri Indeed - a key component of the religious indoctrination methodology.

That has the equivalent of 'externalities' in economics in its cop-out 'God works in mysterious ways'.

So God can witness a crime against an innocent person, and do nothing to help, with impunity. Madness.

@NicelyManifest

It's handy that there's always a specific answer to a specific question, even if the big picture remains fundamentally flawed on every level.

@Geri

@ReggieHere @Geri And all this scripted, calculated indoctrination seems to be embedded fast and securely enough that it flies under the conscious vetting radar.

But in many, it gets unravelled sooner or later.

It remains galling that religious zealots operate with a deep sense of superiority supplied by buying into a myth and doctrine.

@NicelyManifest

Religious privilege exists, sadly.
