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.

I have heard this end of the world CRAP since the Religious Right turned my family into pod people.

My aunt swore that the end of the world was coming in 1974.
1976—TV Preachers said the King of Spain was the Antichrist.
Then TV preachers said that the end of the world was coming in 1980 because Sadat was the Antichrist.
Then they said the end of the world was coming in 1981 because Greece joined the Common Market and became the tenth toe in the statue of Jeremiah
Then they said the end of the world was coming in 1985 and Jesus was going to rapture his flock before Russia launched nukes.
Then they said that George W Bush was the Antichrist when he proclaimed the New World Order.
Then they said Bill Clinton was the Antichrist and Hillary was his lesbian accomplice.
Then they said the end of the world was coming in 1995 when Newt shut down the government
Then they said that Al Gore was the Antichrist in 2000 because he was a worshipper of GAIA.
Then they said Armageddon was coming in a week after we went to war with Afghanistan.
Same thing said when we went to war with Iraq.
In 2008, they said Obama was the Antichrist and Michelle was his gay lover.
In 2016 they said Hillary was the Antichrist and she was a lesbian witch.

And yet brainwashed fools still swallow this bullshit.

This is why I truly detest religion. It’s all bullshit!
