I once asked my dad what he thought gods kingdom on earth would be like (this is post end-times evangelical shit) and he tried to tell me that it would basically be the same. I was like wow that’s really unimaginative and incredibly bleak, like we’re talking about god who can end scarcity and you think you’ll still be going to McDonald’s screaming at min wage workers bc they left a pickle on your burger? I really was kinda painful laughing that this was the garbage he wanted me to accept growing up (I clearly had a much different idea of what god wanted than my parents).

After that he tried to pretend that it was gonna be a post scarcity world when he would mention the glorious future kingdom of god here on earth, but unfortunately he tends to bullshit me as a way to peddle this nonsense. It’s sad seeing these people warp what good Christianity could be (someone is going to read this sentence and get triggered, yes don’t worry I know) into something that just reinforces hierarchy and suffering.
