      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.

        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.

          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…

        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?

          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.

            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.

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

          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)

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

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

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

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