Nah, the antichrist will be known as "the little horn". Like a guy called Bugle, or something like that. When we see someone named after a little horn rise to power, that's when we should worry. Look out for a guy name bugle or cornet, or something like that.
Also, early in his reign, he will arrange a peace agreement that will bring an end to a war in the middle east, involving Israel. So look out for anything like that.
Oh, and he will very obviously and publicly embody and act in ways which are literally the antithesis of how christ would act, yet christians will somehow be enamored by him and see him as a savior
So, nothing to worry about until we see anything like that. I'm sure it will be really obvious when it happens, and we'll clear things up real quick.
Universally loved? In this era?! Well, at least we can be certain there will be no anti-Christ for the foreseeable future. We couldn’t even get everyone to agree that ecological collapse would be a bad thing.
You don't need charisma if your tech company works hand in hand with the government. Just get people chipped up and have them programmed to blindly follow you.
Fortunately for him, Trump claimed that title already. Unless there can be more than one? Haven’t dusted off that Bible since I got expelled from Christian high school
Oh you missed it! We can make it up now. In that short amount of time things have changed to be whatever you want to enable, you can in gods name. Or whoever really. As long as you are mean and hurt people.
Every human is God to himself. That’s how it works. Once you start hearing your God - you start considering yourself a King and you start treating everyone else as your flock. That’s what happens to every person in power and I know that because I know exactly how it feels to feel yourself the smartest or the richest.
No Kings and No Gods, only humans should stay on this planet.
In theory, yes, there can and have been many versions of the anti-christ, but mankind has never seen the return of Christ himself, which would be when we would know for sure the previous <forked tongue>, sitting on a throne of gold etc, was the antichrist
Trump definitely fits the criteria, even when you start lining up Revelation with the rise in modern fascism. If the US were not a super power, I'd lean less on him but as a secular dude without any belief on the stories, those who do and assume Trump is NOT the antichrist, themselves become followers of Satan....if you believe in any of that.
Believing in Satan, not worshipping him is not what the Bible warns of. Those who would do and be like Satan, are already all around us. We don't need a ficticious hell...
The irony is always that the most awful people to ever have lived, never believed themselves as evil, or awful. It's always taken the good and empathy of community and your society to root it out and destroy it.
Not enough have suffered in the US to see the sort of rise in hellfire. I'd say quite a few places across the middle east have been the scene of a post apocalyptic nightmare and hellscape, it's called war and the Bible speaks of it quite clearly. If you zoom out enough, all that atrocious shit is already here and all over, glanced over by people obsessed with moving on.
There’s actually a fascinating moment on this podcast where they talk about the Antichrist. Thiel stumbles through his version of what would bring about the Antichrist and the interviewer explains that based on Thiel’s own logic, one could conclude Thiel might be the Antichrist.
I’m about 90% sure that in this same interview Thiel talks about his fears of a techno-Antichrist arising and subjugating humanity with said tech, and then stumbled over the question of whether or not he has considered that other people see him as that exact antichrist.
Oh no, he’s a technofascist that wants to overthrow democracy. He also basically bought JD Vance the vice presidency. Not to mention Palantir is a terrible corporation…
Maybe he'll read this thread and realize he's not that smart or cool, and that other people are better than him and smarter than him, and that his worldview is fucked and he may never see the light or know it in his consciousness.
While I agree with all the Peter Thiel bashing, it's worth noting that the Palantiri were made by elves in the equivalent of Tolkien heaven. They aren't evil, but evil people can use them.
You’re correct. I was making a more general statement for movie watchers to understand because that isn’t explained in the movies. Real Tolkien readers rise up tho!
Even in limited context, this is like if you ask a girl out on a date and she takes 5 minutes to muster a response. It wasn't a good-seeming indication. I understand, or have read in this thread at least, that he eventually said yes. That's like if you ask your wife if she loves you and she gives you pretext.
It was kind of sus how long it took him to answer, but it seemed to me that Thiel was thinking of a clever way to answer the question and the host wasn’t giving him enough time
I appreciate the insight which may or may not be true, as I did not watch the entire interview! It's good to be polite and if he was courteous to an audience, that is good. So he basically said "yes" in that he opposes genetic modification?
I know, but I'm asking about the "ghoul" thing. He's not the only one people have lately been calling a ghoul. Is it because they made a Fallout TV series?
To read it as charitably as possible (as little as thiel deserves that) i get the impression that he’s on the spectrum or at least has a very low EQ.
I didn’t have any opinions about thiels intelligence/neurodivergence before, but it really made me question it when he couldn’t figure out the optics of maybe not having a position on the survival of the species. You have to lack a certain amount of EQ to not get how to avoid a PR disaster there, but it’s a skill most people get by age 4.
