    I’m pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I’m pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one’s own will is a one way ticket strait down.

      I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.

      They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.

        It’s the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn’t matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that’s a borderline scholarly argument these people don’t have the capacity to consider
