    If you're not American you're probably thinking "What the ever-loving fuck?" I'm American and I'm thinking the same thing. But American fundies are whack. Many of them actually hope for an apocalypse so they can be raptured up to heaven.

      Pretty sure it's at least a part of why the Christian Zionists are so gung-ho for the zionist entity, if they can get everything to line up as according to weird prophecy, they'll see the apocalypse arrive sooner.

        Except they're wrong, because the messiah, whichever one it is, hasn't come back yet

        So they're all gung-ho over a man-made entity that's really closer to blasphemy than it is divinity; and there's something simultaneously hilarious and 'parable of man's folly' about the whole matter and I look forward to hearing about how they all self-selected for Abrahamic Hell

          You know, I haven't studied the bible much as an adult. But I'm pretty sure God really likes it when people try to force his hand, that's all hunky dory and He'll be waiting to thank 'em personally in heaven.

          messiah came and left in the 1200s

      For more in this vein, the last few Trillbilly episodes were great. Two leftists who grew up in the church trying to make sense of the current state of the world
