And now we watch as Christians vote to destroy God’s creation in order to drive vroomier pick-up shit wagons.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Their goal is to bring about the end of days so that they can all be saved and go to heaven. They are literally trying to end the world.

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is not an exaggeration. They literally don't care about the world because "we're all going to heaven anyway." I have relatives that have said as much.

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Like sometimes I can envy the people who believe this shit, how simple a life you must live... So carefree and understanding of others, to let people live their own lives how they want knowing in the end we all get to go to some magical place forever...

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This reason is why I laugh about Israel lining up behind the American right wing. Like you guys know what Israel is for according to the bible, right?

[–] Philosofuel 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have no clue, because never reading the bible thoroughly because of being an atheist and all. I did a quick search and found something about being model nation under god and fully embracing the Messiah as a nation. But not sure what you refer to.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Something along the lines of the second coming of Christ happens (or first coming of the Messiah if your are Jewish) when a major war breaks out in the Middle East around Israel. It is related to Christian Zionism.

The problem is of course this has already happened numerous times in history. So they are basically full of shit.

[–] Philosofuel 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the explanation

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the site of the final apocalyptic battle before rapture

[–] Philosofuel 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks for enlightening me

[–] emmy67@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I kind of advocate sending them to heaven sooner tbh

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

And now they got their hands on nukes again, yeeeeiiiii

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Maybe they just think the sooner the planet is destroyed, the sooner they'll be rescued from the rapture.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Is there any way to get them to realize if there’s a hell, this is how they gain admission?

[–] SteveNashFan@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

I think they didn't read the book :/.

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭41‬-‭45‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Not these psychopaths.

Jesus is their savor, and they will shoot you in the face to prove it.

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.today 15 points 1 week ago

Hell, they'll elect the antichrist to prove it.

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Force them to take a class where they read the Bible?

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I talked to a Jehovah Witness and he said he'd have voted for trump because God sent him...

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope they genuinely think that the only reason we're having these weather events is because there's NOT ENOUGH carbon in the atmosphere.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

They are spreading 666 particles. They think God is going to forgive them for willingly spreading hell mass?

[–] Zacpod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They do be that stupid!

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It’s definitely more of a ‘The Rapture is coming! The Rapture is coming!’ Type of nonsense.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At this point there just worshipping the golden calf. They're not Christians anymore.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Come on now. They wouldn't...

Oh right.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Jesus rolls coal.
