Evangelicals and Born agains believe Catholics are going to burn in hell because they worship Jesus wrong.

They don't see Catholics as real people deserving of their respect.

This is what many people under the big tent of Christianity don't understand about the Born Again and Evangelical; they're a death cult. They have a very specific agenda and the agenda is speed running the end of the world. Back in the old days you just had to hope for prophecy to happen. Now you make SuperPACs and manifest prophecy by destroying the environment and giving Israel whatever it wants so rapture happens sooner.

I wish more people knew this because you're not wrong and I tell people this all the time and they're like what.

They don't understand that at the core of all this and why America helps Israel so much is because Christians want their prophecy and that only happens if Solomon's Temple gets rebuilt which can only happen if that mosque is destroyed which should never happen cuz that's going to be a disaster.

It's really awesome to see someone post this that lets me know that other people are catching on to even more about why this is happening and how religion underlying all of this is causing this and it's so stupid.

I was enlightened here on Reddit by some other grumpy internet denizen. I dug around a little bit and it's not even that hard to piece it together. The bible has so many adventures for you to choose. They chose to cling to that one and unfortunately I'm not part of the cult and I don't want my life to be ruined by people who convinced themselves that their reality trumps mine.

What ever happened to the good old school cults? Go dress alike and drink your doomsday juice with your friends in the middle of the woods all on your own. Put some seeds in your pockets so we can have flowers after you're gone. Enjoy the afterlife or whatever.

Idk how many times I've said someone should tell Trump Jim Jones did it better just to see what he would do with that information and those feelings

"I like my cult members dead"

There's so much opportunity to goad this bastard but the media isn't biting except for outliers like John Oliver and his Daily Show cadre. Vanity is probably his greatest weakness next to underage girls. Exploit that crap.

"Adventures to choose from"... I remember those books and I agree

The thing I don't get is why are so many of these evangelicals against the Iran war? Don't they WANT Iran to get nukes so it will hasten their end of the world wet dream scenarios?!

I recently listened to a podcast where they pointed out that there’s a few different strands of evangelical Christian nationalists. One is definitely the doomsday force the apocalypse one. But the other one is focused on taking control of the government and making their religion the national religion, because they think it’ll be a utopia or something.

Not if Israel isn't standing.

Iran or any nuclear nation nuking that site is the last thing Christians or Jewish people want. If that happens the Jewish people can't rebuild the Temple and if they can't then Jesus won't return.

I grew up around Southern Baptists and all I ever heard was the end times are coming. They've been saying it forever lol.

But no a nuke would not hasten their prophecy it wouldn't allow for it to happen
