This is the mentality that will have absolute power over our lives, for the rest of this century.

I wouldn't mind them having their Apocalypse, provided it is only shared amongst themselves. The rest of us have our own things to do.

So God has a plan for the end times but humans can hasten that plan, that means humans can force God to change his plans. That isn't much of a God you have there. May I suggest picking another imaginary super power, or better yet, none at all?

You're looking for rationality in a bag of insane geese...

This is your captain speaking, just a friendly reminder trying to make the Apocalypse happen on your schedule will get you a free upgrade to first class on our descent into Hell where the temp is a scorching 69° nice

Them: "Woooo, the end times are coming!"

US: "Yep, the end times are coming."

Fully understood end result, completely and totally different reasons why.

Fuck religion

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 7 points 4 weeks ago (6 children)

Well yeah... Christianity is a death cult. Since the very beginning they've been saying that the end times are coming soon. I guess some of them finally realise 2000 years is in no way "soon" and maybe they need to do something about it.

The Reformation was a mistake, people.

Mixing religion and politics is a mistake, people.

The problem is that he's in the position to make it happen, one way or another. There is no future consequences that can be imposed on those bringing about the end of the future itself.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 4 weeks ago

The 'end times' are coming. The END of letting these incompetent cult members have any control over other people's lives. We will chase you all back into the shadows where you freaks belong.

[–] Shoogle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

The "end times" have been coming for 2,000 years now. You'd think after the first 500 or so they would have started reevaluating their prophecies... But religion is a helluva drug.

Oh good, someone is happy at least.
