My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She's a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God's plan.

The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

What making suicide a mortal sin does to a mf

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 35 points 2 weeks ago

They had to do that because it's a death cult. A Christian's goal is to die and go to heaven as quickly as possible, so if they let them commit suicide, then that's the fastest way to heaven.

And then, of course, murder is a sin, or else the best thing a Christian could do is blow up a Christian church while it's full of worshipers.

Actually, since murder can be forgiven, you'd think Christians would be killing each other left and right, just to help the other guy get into heaven faster without them committing suicide.

Even if murder couldn't be forgiven, you'd think a Christian parent would want to kill their children right after they were baptized. Guaranteed ticket into heaven for the kids. Best thing for them. What loving parent wouldn't sacrifice their soul for their children's souls?

It's almost like it's a bunch of made up nonsense.

You're not wrong. And they keep making up crazier and crazier nonsense.

I remember when Operation Desert Storm was supposed to bring about Armageddon. And then it was W's war in Iraq. And now it's the war in Iran.

Every time they move the goalposts, they also increase the stakes. It's terrifying.

Didn't they have one of those end if the world things recently? But it sure sound like that saying "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine end of capitalism" or just any change in world view.

Joining the hordes of followers of the beast of the sea because you think that the end of the world is awesome. I suppose there's a theoretical nobility of choosing hell so others can go to heaven, but this ain't it chief.

Back when I was Christian I was so confused by these doom cultists. Like, the religion teaches that the gates of heaven are open. It's not like the saints are waiting in sheol. There's no benefit to the end of the world happening sooner from a theological perspective, and you aren't supposed to know when it's coming

Is your aunt the same as my aunt?? Lol

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

I hope so cousin. Otherwise there are more of her out there.

This point of view seems to be what a lot of evangelicals fall back on whenever you somehow manage to score any points against their orange god.

I've heard several of them admit that, "Oh well, the world world is awful, and it's fine if it ends." Who gives them the right to make that decision for the rest of us?
