re: #220 Teukka

Now, throw this wrench into it all: What happens when he and his ilk mistakenly believe that the End is nigh but really isn’t?

That, historically, has been the biggest problem with apocalyptic strains in Christianity. Paul had it bad himself and probably died thinking it was only months away. We’re 2000 years later and the idiots still say we’re months away with all kinds of imaginary raptures and other non-biblical nonsense. Plain statements that “no one knows when” but god make no difference to these True Believers. More of us than some might think don’t get too worried about the mythology and would rather worry about the praxis of Christianity instead.

I hope that the Avengers : Endgame includes a few pokes at self righteous asshats “left behind” by Thanos’ finger snap.
