Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

It would be really, really funny if the rapture happened and the only ones left behind to be tortured by the devil were right-wing Evangelical Christians (hexbear.net)

i'm assuming it's more of a calculation. maybe their faith has their chances of salvation at more of a "5 to 6 and pick 'em" deal (a coin toss), but they believe--as the tensions and strife of global conflict rises from climate change, displaced persons, disease, and conflict geographically within and connected to "the holy land"--they are asserting themselves and their institutions as nodes of authority so they and their communities can receive the exaltation of the most desperate and confused.

major "Chaos is a ladder" vibes.
