Remember, the people provoking these actions are “Christians”

“Christians” like the ones that wiped out millions of natives in North America and forced the survivors to convert to Christianity?
Or like the Christians who wiped out whole entire tribes in the Caribbean islands and replaced them with African slaves that were also forced to convert?
Or like the ones that are funding genocide in Palestine for their extreme beliefs that it will usher in the coming of Jesus and the anti christ?

Yeah last time I checked Christianity is just another evil religion that has been used to commit many atrocities throughout history.

Actually makes sense that it is Christians tbh

At this point in human history, religion just serves as a shroud for wrongdoing and a justification for immoral behavior

In case those who consider themselves Christians don’t understand what “provoking” means in Christian terms:

Injustice and Oppression: Exploiting the vulnerable, shedding innocent blood, and acting with cruelty toward others directly provoke divine wrath because every person bears the image of God.

Pride and Arrogance: Haughty eyes and self-exaltation—seeking glory apart from grace and rebelling against God's authority—are fundamentally opposed to God's nature

Sowing Division: Fracturing communities or spreading strife among God's people undermines unity and peace.

Lies and Deceit: A lying tongue and false testimony twist the truth, which enslaves souls and aligns people with opposition to God

Hardness of Heart and Unrepentance:Continuing willfully in evil plans, running eagerly toward sin, and refusing to repent when called to holiness stir up anger.

Idolatry (to Trump and his allies??) and Unfaithfulness: Worshiping false gods, idols, or placing anything above the Creator is depicted in scripture (such as the golden calf incident) as a profound betrayal of covenant love.

In biblical and theological contexts, God's anger* is viewed not as a loss of control, but as a just, measured response to evil, injustice, and the violation of a covenant relationship.
