A Boring Dystopia

It's more that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"The world will hate you," so you're antisocial and hateful in preparation. They do hate me! It's all true!

"There will be wars and rumors of wars," so you vote for the defense hawks supporting the military complex. So many wars! It's all true!

"They won't even tolerate your views, they'll try to outlaw it!" So you try to ban them first. It's all true!

Why protect the temporary environment when you have eternal paradise waiting? Why do ANYTHING meaningful here when you have eternal paradise waiting.

tl;dr: Death cult. Projection.

Just sayin. These fools are walking right into it.

Don't confuse coincidence for causation. For hundreds of years, people have been harping about the " end times." No 'splaining needed friend.

America isn't the world. It's just a regime that will fall because of shortsightedness. If your Christian parents only think of the world as "America", then I don't think you owe them anything?

If you predict it's the end times every day for a thousand years, eventually you'll get it right.

Yes it's a death cult and we're locked in the basement.

If we're walking into oblivion it's because the christofascists are leading us there. It will be their self fulfilling prophecy.

The oldest human writings are lost to history. But we can be assured that they bitterly complained about the young generation and predicted that the world would end soon.

Sooner or later, one of the kooks will be right by coincidence.

yeah but its all going downhill because of people like them. christians are complicit in the demise of democracy.

theyre causing their own doom so they can point it out. if they didnt exist, the world would be a better place.

theres a great meme somewhere where the rapture happens and the world is an amazingly better place for it.

It's been the "End Times" for the last 2000 years. They were full of shit then and they're full of shit now.

Their whole death cult is predicated on the world ending in a violent fiery ocean of blood so that they, the only good people who won't be damned to a burning torturous eternal punishment, will ascend to a paradise of everlasting Jonestown. It's sheer insanity. Malicious, cruel, psychopathic insanity.

It's not too late to re-evaluate your beliefs tbh. I don't subscribe to the same brand of Christianity as my parents or as what you see happening in the USA, but you can actually have Christ without a lot of that mad fundie stuff, and incorporate into a more rational belief system. I recommend checking out InspiringPhilosophy on YouTube, he has a pretty rational way of explaining the faith. Or I am not rational at all because I still believe in a "skyfairy" according to internet atheists. Just don't think that being a mad fundie is the only way to be a Christian or necessary to receive forgiveness from God.

Personally, if I die only to find out that the Tyrant is real, I'll gladly walk into hell before I kneel my way into heaven. Fuck their narcissistic, cruel, inhuman monster of a god.
