Really have to wonder why these people can't just you know go find a compound somewhere and make some special Kool-Aid or something. Why do they got to drag the rest of us into it?

My personal favourite is the woman whose chicken laid eggs with "Christ is coming" etched on them. Turned out she was writing on the eggs herself and pushing them back up the chicken's bottom.
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.
You know the funny thing is there's actually a biblical calculation that puts the end of the world around 204X that several well known Christian Theoloegians calculated including Isaac Newton.
It seems odd to me that fanatics ignore this prediction and insist on accelerating the end times or claim that the rapture is tomorrow.
The other funny thing is all the insane level of violence and corruption that both Christian and Islamic eschatologies warn about in great detail.
If you're familiar with either source, the irony is astounding. People read a big fat warning about the end times and then decided "We can accelerate this and make it into heaven by playing the explicitly evil guys in this big fat warning".
Indeed. Evangelical MAGA really didn't read their book. It says that no one can accelerate or manufacture the time. If it happens, people will not realize what is going on until the last minute.
This is the mentality that will have absolute power over our lives, for the rest of this century.
This guy literally can't do anything wrong
Makes everything great -> obviously amazing leader
Fucks everything up -> this guy will save us from the fucked up world

May 21, 2011 was supposed to be the rapture or end of the world or whatever. I remember this because it was also my wedding day. Lived outside DC at the time and there were all these people holding signs and wearing shirts about it. We joked about getting a few for my bachelor party ("ha ha the world is ending on that day ... FOR HIM!"). Never did it. But I had a great wedding.

I never watched parks and rec but didn't that end before Trump's run, and wasn't that character like a big-L libertarian?
The line from the show is “I have an uncle who does yoga”.
Yes.
Kind of in a comically over the top way, but in all fairness libertarians are comical.
Christianity is a death cult.
My dad is (was?) one of these. The dissonance was one of the reasons I rejected religion - their Bible tells them to be good stewards, but when asked why he supports stuff that harms the environment my dad's excuse was that the world was ending soon and only those who didn't get raptured would even be impacted by it.
I checked, the Bible doesn't contain some "shit on the environment if the world is ending soon" clause or exception.
It actually says the opposite: "He will put to ruin those ruining the earth"
They’ve been saying the end times are coming since before I was born.
They been saying it a lot longer than that. The 7th Day Adventists, who own all the hospitals in my area, are a Mormon splinter group who followed a guy who had calculated the exact date of the end of the Earth, and that was way back in the late 19th century. He kept re-calculating and moving the date.
End of the world predictors have been around far longer than that.
They're a Millerite splinter not Mormon when the Millerites imploded after multiple failed predictions it created several new religions, the biggest two being being Jehovah's witnesses and Seventh day advenentists. They came out of the same religious spring as the Mormons and Christian scientists for example but are more or less unrelated outside of being nominally Christian. There used to be more groups from that era but most of them were Christian socialists and were more or less all killed off by the 1950s.
Sorry about the pedantry but my kin have been fueding with the fucken Seventh Day Adventists since they moved into what is now Loma Linda California back in the early 1900s.
Valid, good post.
They've been saying it pretty much since about 30 seconds after Christ died, and I'm sure they're all just a reskinning of even older apocalypse myths.
I remember when the rapture was supposed to happen last year. I remember when 2020-2022 was to be the end. I remember when 2012 was the end times. I remember when 2000 was the apocalypse. I remember multiple other years prior to that saying the same thing. There are books in the Bible that talk about it happening soon and they were made canon centuries ago. The monopoly on wanting the end isn’t even Christians’. Just this month I saw a video advertised on youtube still pushing that Nibiru collision nonsense that pops up every year or two. None of these people know anything about the end of the world.
[Hecklefish voice] AAAA-nunnaki!
This is part of JD Vance and Peter Thiel's theological beliefs. They're "Trad Rads" - as is Steve Bannon. A radical group of extremist Catholics who are trying to destroy the world as they believe only if there's an apocalypse will Jesus return.
They should be treated as Religious Extremists, and terrorists, and everyone including the Pope should vocally condemn them.
End times, just like the ones in 2012 right? Look at how that turned out LMFAO
i mean... it was silly before we had a decade of this stupid shit....
Yes, but now the loonies are running free in the WH fucking with a demented orange clown of a presidont as they please.
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
Fetishizing mythology as national policy.
Yeah. Great. Sure.
Fucking kill us all because school teachers are secretly centaurs in disguise and the Ark of the Covenant contains a coupon for a free Lexus, and if you're special enough to believe in White Jesus then heaven is a gated community, and they have the best HOA ever.
Like, maybe it's just better if Homo Sapiens doesn't survive?
Why do they look so inbred?
If they were any more inbred they'd be sandwiches.
because they're the product of cousinfuckery
Last time the rapture was no fun...it is only fun if they fuck shit up and take everyone with them...
