    Believing on this shit is not more crazy than what other religions do.

    What I don’t understand is why those people keep trying to fulfill the prophecy and end the world. That’s the crazy part. Most people tend to think this is a bad thing, to avoid.

      Because the Christian idea of the end of the world is not the common one. It’s the end of this world, thus the end of wars, sicknesses and suffering generally as God would have taken the control again. It’s the coming back of the deceased. It’s life having defeated death.

      But almost all Christians outside american evangelicalism don’t believe there’s a prophecy to fulfill to attain this moment. I presume the French Protestant Federation had a lot of trouble understanding what Bush was talking about 😅.

        The religious equivalent of a little kid acting out in school hoping their cop dad gets called and he actually shows up this time.

      Because christan faith is kind of a death cult, where living is actually bad part and the good part starts after death.

        Christianity is like Gentoo: it shares a name, but otherwise you can basically choose bits and pieces to make it whatever the fuck you want. It’s “Christianity are”, not “Christianity is”.

          Not really? Like there are other ones with similar concepts, but not most.
