Ah yes we should definitely listen to this guy who’s in the Epstein files! /S
Yeah, we get it: Things that don’t make you even richer = antichrist. Problem is we don’t give a shit about made up demons but real world problems of which you are one.
All the more reason.
But… Don’t Christians want Armageddon?
Many, yes. I’m 100% sure my family voted for the douchebag as a total accelerationist move so they can finally break into their 5 gallon buckets of dehydrated eggs and mashed potato flakes before they get Raptured.
No, like, literally all of them.
The end times are when Jesus comes back, when the sinners are cast into the lake of fire, and when the quick and the dead are judged and finally get to go to heaven. It’s also inevitable, and will happen whenever God wants without any human input. I’m pretty sure that suggesting that anything humans do can either hasten or prevent the antichrist is heresy. It will come when it will come.
Oh no, for American Evangelicals, hasten is 100% a game plan. My mom was talking up a conspiracy theory genetic breeding program in the 90s to get someone to perfect an all red hefier so if could be the sacrifice for when the new Temple in Jerusalem is opened to then tick all the boxes from Revelation.
Never you fucking mind that Fresh JC gets to pick the date and time. Oh no. They just paved the way for whenever JC feels like. So just like, take your time, but hurry up. Because of the crushing credit card debt and bad financial decisions and bad health because JC might come back any day, so why bother to save for next week, right?
The American Apocalyptic mentality is formed around fixing their own shitpile lives because they never felt they had the agency to do it themselves.
Well sure, heretical sects have blossomed in the US and they just kind of make up whatever bullshit they want.
That still leaves Thiel as the odd one out, though. I don’t think there are any Christian sects that want to actually prevent or delay Judgement. He’s doing his own unique heresy that’s totally out-of-step with basically the rest of Christianity.
He’s not out of step with the ones most prone to being grifted ;)
Which are the ones that vote in primaries and call their Congresspeople 9 times a day. They’ll flame him for being gay, but they accepted Trump who profits selling them bibles with his name on them, which is pure, uncut Colombian heresy.
But you said it yourself, the Evangelicals want the antichrist to come.
So. Who is he appealing to?
That’s the most ironic part. They all think that they’ll be so smart that they see it and can spot the Antichrist. But the AC will gain power by being a charlatan that hoodwinks normal Christians like them. They’re actually playing into their own enemy by being stupid.
