Hasn’t that always been the endgame for White Christian Nationalists?
What we need is another super-spectacular event like the 1833 Meteor Shower, which many of them will interpret as the end of the world.
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.
... and any other color of Christian, for that matter. It's not just the white ones that read Revelation.
