Praying for Armageddon, Literally [1]

“Praying for Armageddon"

Several years ago, I granted permission to an international film crew shooting a striking new documentary movie called “Praying for Armageddon” to fly out here to my residence in Albuquerque and interview me for their movie. Venerable Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) Advisory Board Member Col. (Ret.) Larry Wilkerson was likewise interviewed for this film. The theme of this documentary movie was to focus on that End Times-obsessed, tortured version of Christianity, which lusts in an unbridled and totally unrestrained manner for the world to end in the impossibly violent and bloody hellscape as described quite vividly in the Book of Revelation. (Indeed, many adherents to this extremist version of fundamentalist Christianity revel endlessly in the fact that they are promised a 200 mile long river, 4 1/2 feet deep filled with nothing but the blood of those that their version of savage-Jesus has slaughtered at the Battle of Armageddon.)

The movie made its American debut almost exactly at the same time that Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. I'd been invited to the Hamptons in New York for that debut and participated in the ceremonies for same.

America Attacks Iran

As I write this, it has not yet even been 48 hours since the mentally ill, two year-old sack of shit tRump authorized the strike by American forces against Iran. I'm not going to opine on the wisdom of this strike in this Opinion Editorial. It is incontrovertible that Iran is clearly a malign actor in the Middle East and on the international stage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ramifications, repercussions, and consequences for this preemptive attack, I will leave it for many others who are currently so opining.

U.S. Military Leadership Craves Armageddon

However, almost immediately after word of these American strikes became public Saturday evening, June 21, 2025, our foundation became inundated with military members who were caught in the same bloodlust by their chains of command eagerly watching the cataclysmic events unfolding. Why were these military superiors gleefully observing so fervently? For the same reason they rejoiced at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. It is because such sudden warfare, which could explode according to the experts even into World War III, substantiates and adds credibility to the lubrication of the exigent return of their wretched version of AR-15 carrying "Weaponized Jesus" and the infamous Battle of Armageddon. What, you don't think that the alcoholic, womanizing, Christian nationalist, Crusader-tattooed, proselytizing Jesus freak little Petey Hegseth isn't TOTALLY getting off on all of this for the very same reason?!

MRFF does not eat Christians for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between

Please keep in mind that there is nothing “anti-Christian” about the Military Religious Freedom Foundation in any way shape or form. Indeed, MRFF currently represents just under 100,000 military members and veterans as well as members of the 18 national security agencies, the Coast Guard (DHS) and the US Maritime Service (DOT). About 95% of them are Christians themselves. Approximately 84% of our staff of nearly 1,200, both paid and volunteer, are also Christians. This isn't about Christianity per se at all. It's about a fundamentalist extremist version of that faith system known as “Christian Dominionism” becoming inextricably intertwined with the indescribable destructive power of the weapons systems of the United States armed forces and our Department of Defense. We have been fighting this noxious version of Christianity for over 20 years and you may have heard about some of our most shocking and horrifying stories.

The message of outcry from an active duty military officer and his wife: “ My Commander and his wife are celebrating the American-Iranian-Israeli fighting as the beginning of Armageddon”

The e-mail below from an active duty, junior military officer serving in a combat unit speaks for itself. If, after reading it, you do not see the indescribable danger of a military combat commander, such as the villainous subject of the e-mail, subordinating his or her oath to the U.S. constitution to their own personal, twisted, and tortured version of brutal and barbaric bloodlust as outlined in their eschatological interpretation of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, then I truly pity you.

For you 77 million MAGA Americans, who voted for this orange piece of human filth and, thus, his governmental supporters and enablers at all levels, are you not effing entertained?!

BEHOLD what your limitless ignorance, hubris, arrogance, bigotry, hatred, and prejudice have wrought for America and The World!
