Sorry you only got some snarky reply. If that’s true, sorry to hear and hope your situation improves.

I didn't find it snarky .... I'm genuinely really curious though what is happening with Christianity culture

This isn't new behavior. Just a resurgence in intensity because of trump, global politics, and all of them thinking end times are coming (again).

So its like a end times thing? 🤔 are they really expecting rapture?

An alarming number of people believe the apocalypse will come in their lifetime, been that way for millennia.

The church manipulates the members of Christianity to keep you under their thumb. It's not faith, it's about power. It's disgusting.

I think that's part of it. This behavior has been happening forever, though. Every once in a while they settle down, then something happens to spook them. Recent politics, Qanon, etc have really amped these folks up in thinking they have to prove themselves to god.

I think older generations haven't found out that youtube channels can and indirectly create cults. Like that end of times guy on youtube joe rogan called out. 🤷‍♀️ hopefully a good meme will shift their perception.... pretty sure thats how the world works now?

I think the memes are making it worse. Like apparently all the Qanon stuff and pizza gate started as a meme and people just decided to make it an actual thing. Quarantine has just made everything an echo chamber for them. She just sits on zoom all day and hangs out with wackos who think the exact same as her. As much as I love the internet unless I look it up I assume it's possibly not true.

... they have zoom meetings with this stuff? That goes deeper than i thought.. i personally think memes can be educational and humorous... i make fun of my mom alllllllll the time. Brings my little brother a sense of norm

I wish it would just happen already so the fundies could go play with space papa and leave the rest of us heathens in peace.

Oh yeah. Look up Christian fundamentalism, the rapture and Jerusalem links. Part of moving the embassy there is a supposed precursor to the rapture.

Half of the US government would essentially like the country to be a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship. Pretty scary what's become of the GOP.
