This has actually frightened me for years. There are fucking weirdo’s out there that believe so much in the Bible that I think they are actively trying to make the end times prophecy happen rather than just, you know… Evolve?
It’s the whole reason the racist Right “supports” Israel. It’s not that they believe Jews should be treated equally, but that they need them to bring about their armageddon.
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.
