    committing global genocide for something that isn’t real certainly is… a choice.

    He doesn’t get that if there is an end time where each gets what is deserved, he will be going directly to hell, no pass go, no collect anything.

      i had an interesting conversation with someone who i had viewed as a mentor growing up. we both walked away wondering where we’d lost the other one. in summary we were talking about deepwater horizon, as it was current news at the time. they mentioned that the world had to basically be destroyed before jesus came back so why bother. i told them in the language of the cult we’d been raised together in that weren’t we supposed to take care of the environment? (and everyone clapped i’m sure, we were blocking half an aisle in costco).

      but like, if i could rip a bandaid and make everything as magical as they believe it will be, i’d go for it. just, shit ain’t squeeze that way.

        I hate that cult, almost as much as Squeak. I think Cristianity needs to be destroyed before sanity can come back, I’d outright ban it.

      Why can’t they do everyone a favor and pull a Heaven’s Gate? At least those guys didn’t want to make everyone suffer with them.

        Because in order for their belief system to be passed down though generations, they had to make suicide a sin. Otherwise they would actually kill themselves to get to Heaven more quickly.

        I have known Evangelicals who refused medical treatment because they were “ready to be with Jesus.”

      … and any other color of Christian, for that matter. It’s not just the white ones that read Revelation.

    Is that not what the US is doing now? They will vote GOP if the candidate went live on international news performing the most vile act anyone can imagine. Because they are in their end game.

    Many Evangelical politicians - notably George Dubya Bush - have the same POV. To them the chance to be big players in God’s Great Plan is like lighting the torch in the Eternity Olympics.

      Does it fuck. They just spout this bullshit because it will pull voters.

      I believe in the tooth fairy more than these arseholes believe in anything at all.

    If you support bringing the end times, you are supporting the anti-christ according to their religion. Therefore they’re going to be the ones left behind and headed for however many thousand years in hell until their god hits the reset button. Idiots can’t even keep themselves on any side of their own religion.

    Religion should disqualify a person from anything above a janitor.

    Hi.

    Atheist here.

    This is bad.

    But understandable. Christians are ok with this because they think they’re going to go to heaven and be with God and bask in his ever lasting glory or some shit.

    Hope they haven’t been wearing mixed cloth clothing or shaved their beards.
