My personal pet theory is that these weirdo's are just afraid of dying. Christianity is fundamentally a death cult. Die now and get rewarded in heaven. But these extreme evangelicals found a loophole: the rapture. During the end times god saves all the true believers. Boom, a one way ticket to heaven without having to die. So these lunatics are actively trying to make the end times happen so they don't miss out and they don't have to die.
I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you're wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.
I mean fearing death is human instinct and not really something based in logic.
I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It's when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.
