EOTWAWKI has always been a mythical fantasy, including the futuristic interpretation of Revelation regarding the second advent.

This is really the only way that cults in their late and isolated stages can hold together, not only that the end is neigh, but that it is imminent, a few month’s away at longest.

And that is because the devout are expected to be squeezed. They’re expected to toil to breaking for sake of the community and their leader.

In the cases of communes like Jonestown and the Branch Davidian compound, there’s always a dire labor shortage. There’s consistently more work to do than can be done by the labor force available to make sure everyone is fed, housed, treated for illness, clothed and so on.

Exploited labor cannot work under pressed conditions for super long, but giving them a hard deadline weeks or days away, helps a bunch. Doubly so if it comes with a guarantee of eternal bliss (or a UFO ride to join the space aliens).

Naturally, at least for all cases so far, the deadline comes and goes. This is usually when the prophets recompute and provide another deadline. Again it can only be a little bit longer. Even a year later and it’s too much to ask.

With each passing doomsday that doesn’t manifest, the cultists get more antsy like the crew of the Abraham Lincoln. Suicide and apostasy rates rise, then soar. Discontent heats up in the community, as each false apocalypse deteriorates confidence in the next one.

Eventually, something has to crack. In the 20th century US, reports leak to the authorities about the poor conditions and the abuse (there always is, in a large enough population), and in the face of intervention, the cult leader goes scorched earth like the Nero Decree.

In the meantime, the list of failed apocalypse predictions grows ever longer without any yet coming to fruition.

Keep your god out of the government you stupid brainwashed fucktard!

Every religion and therefore every god forbids killing babies. If you worship anything, it is ultimately Satan that you worship.

I get a bit confused listening to some a Christians talk about the end times. According to the Bible, we already live in the end times. The end times are not some dial some people are twisting one way and some people are twisting the other.

I think some people believe that God has a checklist, and he’s waiting for all the monkeys to essentially random chance Hamlet of of a typewriter, with all the hoops and conditions needed to bring about the end of the world. If your eschatology is Twitch Plays Pokémon, try again.

Traitors to humanity.

Because religion is a mental illness.

Yeah, they never say something like, “if that leads to peace on earth, so be it.”

Sure but if someone says: “I’m just trying to focus on doing god’s work. If that leads to Vance’s neck doing the same thing that Charlie Kirk’s did, that’s ok.”, then they get a visit from the SS.

I don’t want to hear anyone ever again try to tell me that women can’t be good leaders because they are too emotional or delusional. Look at this weirdo.

We’ve never been closer to it and it’s all their fault.

I hate the world we live in.

OOH OOH i know

Because (a) they are narcissists. Being right about the end game would mean (b) they were the smartest people in the room about the most important topic in their lives.

Might as well inject that right into their veins, you know?

Because they are in death cults, fantasizing about death.

Maybe because they have some buried understanding in their subconscious of how history will remember them, and they’d prefer that there was no one around to know

The Bible starts and ends with the slaughter of the unrighteous, which means you.

When Jesus returns, He will be accompanied by legions of angels, and they will butcher every non-believer. The resulting lake of blood will be miles wide and “as deep as a horse’s bridle”.

Then, they will cast all of the non-Christians into Hell for eternal torture.

That is Christianity.

(Islam and Judaism are no better, they all revel in the murder of the non-believers)
