They don’t care about the planet because Jeebus is coming to end the world any day now and they’ll all be in heaven…which ironic because they do so little of what Jesus told them to do to get into heaven.

That’s exactly it. We’re watching cristofacists attempt to incite armageddon. It is literally their goal to end the world in hopes of being raptured

Yeah and not a single one would ever be raptured is the ironic and amusing part.

They can hang out on the destroyed planet they didn’t care enough about.

Even if Christianity is real and true, they still wouldn’t be raptured, because the rapture as they understand it has no basis in traditional Christian dogma, only becoming a concept in the mid 1800s.

American evangelicalism is a goddamned cult. It's not a mainline Christian Protestant denomination. It's a cult like the mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are.

A mix of death cult, doomsday cult, and with the prosperity gospel - mammon cult.

None will be raptured, not because they aren't good people (though they're not), but because that's not a real thing.

If only they actually read the book they pretend to worship.

Those who incite Armageddon go straight to Hell. Everyone is supposed to be nice to each other and do their best until the day comes. Speed it up, and you are the bad guy the Bible talks about. The heinously evil will make Armageddon happen and go straight to Hell.

Christianity, particularly the evangelical American variety, is a fucking death cult. Those people have no business sharing power in an Earthly government.

Frankly, if they are so sure that the afterlife is real and it’s so much better than here, I’d prefer it if they just went to go be with god already.

Can’t agree with you more. Sad I can only give you one updoot.

Also there is a crap load of money to made by exploiting the planet's resources and money generally trumps (pun intended) all in their minds.

•

u/arkiparada 3h ago

Of course it does. Supply side Jesus told them so!

That's the beauty of born-again evangelical/grace-centered Christianity. The only thing you need to do is accept Christ as your savior, and literally anything goes. You're saved.

You'd think they'd want to protect thid beautiful world gifted to us by God. I guess when ones version of Jesus is literally just saying "I'm sowwy and I believe in you so I'm forgiven now right?" it can really make for some fucked up world vuews.

This dead-eyed nihilism is the most disturbing aspect of evangelical Christianity. Fuck it, fuck other people. Fuck the planet. Fuck the animals. Fuck everything because Jesus is coming to bring me to heaven. It sounds like something a person inside a padded cell would say.
