For some Christians, a piece of toast that looks like a face means the second coming. Just like any cult, there's plenty of crazy ideas sincerely held by its members.

These christofascist end of days assholes are trying to bring about the end of days. They believe that they can start a race war or a war between progressives and regressives or Russia and NATO to trigger it. They would kill a lot of people to bring their salvation fantasy to life.

For some Christians, a stubbed toe signals the second coming of Christ.

They're just shuffling cards.
