    "We're at war with Iran!" Me: Knowing Jesus is coming back

Transcript

Jesus is only gonna come back if we bomb enough kids. Mhmm. See, if we don't bomb children, how is it gonna get bad enough for Jesus to need to come back? Yes, Lord. So that's why we need to give more money to the state of Israel. And let baby Netanyahu bully president Trump and dispended tens of billions of dollars every single day on munitions until we utterly destroy the state of Iran even though it poses no threat to The United States whatsoever, gives them no legitimate geopolitical advantage. So that we can fulfill esoteric, very literal Jewish end times prophecies about rebuilding the third temple rank expanding greater Israel. Mhmm. Even though that was only grafted onto modern day Christian thought during the 1800. When we first got it right. And up next, I have literal prostitute turned Christian commercial influencer twenty five minutes ago worst still public for some reason. Nala Ray so that everybody know that it's okay that our warmongering, liar ass president is out here creating perpetual cycles of political instability in The Middle East and spending your tax money to do it. Because if we do it well enough, Jesus is gonna come back and be real fucking proud of us.
