I thought the narrative was pretty coherent as far as weird internet shit goes.

    Well millennials are already named after the 21st century (cus they were mostly kids, teens, and young adults around 2000 I guess? and the 21st century is more importantly a new millennium than a new century)

    I honestly think gen z should’ve been named after the 21st century and been called “millennials” instead of gen y. Since zoomers (‘97-‘12) are the first generation to universally grow up in and not know or remember anything from the last century

      although ironically the term for the belief in the upcoming end of the world is called millenialism (in reference to a specific part of revelations someone decided to focus on)

          revelations also has stuff in it that implies that salvation after death is possible

          but mainly revelations is prophecy and prophecy is in poetry it's not literal.. For example the visions of nebechenezzar

            Revelations is also mostly written in like 1st and 2nd century memes and cultural references. It's mostly about contemporary politics.

              we don't really have a clue what it's about as it relied on references that only the Christian sect of the small island it was written on understood and they all died.

              It's a particularly unreliable piece of scripture to make hard certain statements based on

                  Can we keep that bit in the Book of Judges where a Jewish hero rises up, sneaks into the castle of an occupying emperor, declares "I bring a gift from God" before stabbing him to death, and sneaking out the window? Cuz that's based as fuck.

                  Also, the emperor's guards don't bother to check on him for awhile after he's been stabbed, because they're like "Ah, he's probably taking a fat shit rn. Let him be".
