My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She's a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God's plan.

The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

What making suicide a mortal sin does to a mf

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They had to do that because it's a death cult. A Christian's goal is to die and go to heaven as quickly as possible, so if they let them commit suicide, then that's the fastest way to heaven.

And then, of course, murder is a sin, or else the best thing a Christian could do is blow up a Christian church while it's full of worshipers.

Actually, since murder can be forgiven, you'd think Christians would be killing each other left and right, just to help the other guy get into heaven faster without them committing suicide.

Even if murder couldn't be forgiven, you'd think a Christian parent would want to kill their children right after they were baptized. Guaranteed ticket into heaven for the kids. Best thing for them. What loving parent wouldn't sacrifice their soul for their children's souls?

It's almost like it's a bunch of made up nonsense.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

You're not wrong. And they keep making up crazier and crazier nonsense.

I remember when Operation Desert Storm was supposed to bring about Armageddon. And then it was W's war in Iraq. And now it's the war in Iran.

Every time they move the goalposts, they also increase the stakes. It's terrifying.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 19 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't they have one of those end if the world things recently? But it sure sound like that saying "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine end of capitalism" or just any change in world view.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Joining the hordes of followers of the beast of the sea because you think that the end of the world is awesome. I suppose there's a theoretical nobility of choosing hell so others can go to heaven, but this ain't it chief.

Back when I was Christian I was so confused by these doom cultists. Like, the religion teaches that the gates of heaven are open. It's not like the saints are waiting in sheol. There's no benefit to the end of the world happening sooner from a theological perspective, and you aren't supposed to know when it's coming

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a really common belief, and they have never been closer to making it happen. The Christianity Death Cult has aligned with the MAGA Death Cult which wants to reduce the population to 100 million people. Together they will happily kill millions of us for their own sick agendas.

We have to stop them, obviously, but when it's over, we have to deal with both of those situations. MAGA will have to crushed, purged from government and society, prohibited from existing, and their leaders punished harshly for their crimes.

Religion is a bigger problem, but the solution starts by ending any special privileges that churches get, and treating them like the businesses they are, including taxing them heavily, and regulating their activities.

[–] HoopyFrood@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Taxing churches just for being churches would be counter-productive. What needs to happen is the current set of rules regulating what counts as a church and what doesn't needs to be tightened and enforced. There are tons of shit people running churches as their own personal profit machines and those need shut down. The Methodist churches built in every town in America, for example, are only barely hanging on by a thread and bring more good to their neighborhood than they do harm; their loss would be tragic.

Is your aunt the same as my aunt?? Lol

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

I hope so cousin. Otherwise there are more of her out there.

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This point of view seems to be what a lot of evangelicals fall back on whenever you somehow manage to score any points against their orange god.

I've heard several of them admit that, "Oh well, the world world is awful, and it's fine if it ends." Who gives them the right to make that decision for the rest of us?

that's the beauty with religion... you can interpret it at your convenience

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 64 points 2 weeks ago (21 children)

God's plan, not likely, but a Chinese plan definitely.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

At this point, dealing as much damage to the US in any possible way is a hope of many people after all the shit that happened recently.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (15 children)

The USA cannot be allowed to fall, not to Trump or any other despot, because even in its current state: China and Russia are worse and will leap, claws out, at any opportunity created by the fall of the USA.

Just like Iran, the best outcome is that it must simply change.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

We're fucked either way.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (9 children)

Funny that you think the collapse of the US can be stopped.

Given that in the 80s and 90s it was well known that Trump had ties to the Russian mafia, it may not be a Chinese plan, or at least not a 100% Chinese plan. It might be a coalition of China and Russia working to destroy America and American politicians being bribed into going along with it.

More likely independent Chinese and Russian plans harmonizing because they want the same thing, which is destabilization and collapse in the west

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hey don't give them all the credit, Russia probably had a bigger hand in it...

Also Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk etc...

evangelical christian in beijing...

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

that checks if you replace god with Putin

[–] plyth@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The propaganda machine that brought you trickle down economics, the private healthcare system, no child left behind schooling, an outstanding military budget and keeps people committed to FPTP voting was beaten by a mid Russian KGB agent?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Putin has been at the top for 30 years. "Mid" is not an accurate description. He knows what he's doing.

Check your Book of Revelations for interesting news about a charismatic leader who survives a terrible head-wound, marks his followers foreheads. There's also some stuff about an alliance with Israel...

That makes more sense than whatever the fuck is going on right now.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago

That makes so much more sense than the way evangelicals here attribute the mandate.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

trump might believe this as well

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The elites don't actually believe the religion talk, that's just one of their main vote-taking methods

[–] Graymouzer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Some of them do. Peter Theil is religious nut.
