We can just throw them in fire if they want.

No no no. That's not the right response! What you should be doing, is burning a fascist.

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”.

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"

This guy literally can't do anything wrong

This is part of JD Vance and Peter Thiel's theological beliefs. They're "Rad Trads" - 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.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I wonder if they are actually believers. Or if they just recognize how to perpetuate and foment belief in the public.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think not, they are just accelerationists

Imagine working that hard to bring about Christ's return only to get a "yeah... I don't know you, buddy. Sorry." from Jesus.

Of course, but you won't find much gold digging in those ideological Möbius strips

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".

[-] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 9 points 1 month ago

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.

Christianity is a death cult.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

This is the mentality that will have absolute power over our lives, for the rest of this century.

[-] FEIN@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

End times, just like the ones in 2012 right? Look at how that turned out LMFAO

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, but now the loonies are running free in the WH fucking with a demented orange clown of a presidont as they please.

Why do they look so inbred?

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

If they were any more inbred they'd be sandwiches.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

because they're the product of cousinfuckery

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Because they're a death cult.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The "Rad Trads" - Catholic radical traditionalists including JD Vance and Peter Thiel believe they're bringing about the apocalypse so that Jesus will return.

So yes, death cult.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Do these clowns not understand that by wishing trump start their armageddon that it makes him the antichrist?

They are following and encouraging the antichrist?

So yeah, y’all talibangelicals going to your hell.

[-] Flyzeyez@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Fuck religion

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Religion is a mental illness. Not adjacent, similar to, nearby, but full-on delusion.

And also by far the greatest threat humanity is facing.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

...leads to dangerous behaviours, feelings of invincibility, superiority, delusions...and worst of all: it's contagious and spreads through speech and culture.

[-] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago

We voted for Trump to DESTROY the WORLD!

-Republicans LITERALLY!

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.

[-] JayK117@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Last time the rapture was no fun...it is only fun if they fuck shit up and take everyone with them...
