    That’s the opposite of what his side wants. It really seems like they’re actively trying to force the apocalypse.

      For some of them, they are. There’s a whole thing in the Bible about how bad the world has to get (including a war in Israel) for the second coming to happen, and they’re trying to force it.

      A ton of evangelicals believe they are living in the end times and there’s no reason to care about the future of the planet or nation anyway.

        Quite the amount of hubris. “God has a plan, but he hasn’t worked hard enough at it, so I’m going to help him out.”

          It’s genocidal. All the nonbelievers will go to hell and the believers will be raised from the dead.

          Christians suck.

            There’s an actual word for what they are doing to us, I never see anyone use it, so I thought people should know it exists.

            The following definition was copied from Wiktionary.

            omnicide

            noun

            The total extinction of the human species as a result of human action. Most commonly it refers to human extinction through nuclear warfare, but it can also refer to such extinction through other means such as global anthropogenic ecological catastrophe and Lethargica.

        Isn’t peace in the middle east one of the signs of the biblical apocalypse, though?
