    Nearly every single white evangelical in the US believes on some level that literally everyone who isn't one of them will spend eternity in a state of conscious, physical torment. I have to believe that that belief has to have some very real impact on their political beliefs, and I'm trying to work out exactly what that is. Maybe something along the lines of, if you're able to dehumanize anyone in your group THAT much...

      When I was a little kid I went to a Christian church that pushed missionaries really hard.

      Like so hard they literally told all the kids at Sunday School to go and be missionaries at their schools. And being autistic, I took it at face value. :sadness-abysmal:

      Back when I was an indoctrinated Catholic, the impact of an eternal afterlife was to render the idea of systemic reform on Earth useless. Our lives are infinitesimally short compared to the time we spend in heaven, purgatory, or hell - it's basically just a really tiny testing period that God has set up for us. Why would anyone bother with structural changes to eliminate poverty? The poor present an opportunity for us to emulate Jesus. Some even consider the desire to transform human society to be blasphemous as it indicates you are "worldly" and attempting to bring about heaven on earth before God's time for it.
