Jesus: "You did WHAT in my name?!? Why would you torture gay ppl, wtf is wrong with you?!?! Why do you treat poor people so terrible, did you read my book at all?!"
"Oh my dad! Look at how much you've polluted Fathers planet, he is going to be so pissed. What do you mean prosperity gospel? That's not what that means!!! Me-Christ, you people are the devil!"
Jesus: JFC guys, you weren't supposed to try to bring on the rapture
The hubris at the core of evangelical shit right here. They don't believe in an omnipotent God, because an omnipotent God wouldn't need their help. They, through their actions, show that they believe that they are God, an actual true heracy.
Catholics: You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to Works.
i'm assuming it's more of a calculation. maybe their faith has their chances of salvation at more of a "5 to 6 and pick 'em" deal (a coin toss), but they believe--as the tensions and strife of global conflict rises from climate change, displaced persons, disease, and conflict geographically within and connected to "the holy land"--they are asserting themselves and their institutions as nodes of authority so they and their communities can receive the exaltation of the most desperate and confused.
major "Chaos is a ladder" vibes.
It literally says so in the scripture: "like a thief in the night; no one knows the time or the day".
Motherfucker, if you think doing something will bring on the rapture, you're already wrong because nobody knows when it's going to happen.
