Oh Crap, The Storm/Apocalypse... maybe [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-07 I have a concern, well many concerns but one that specifically came up this morning with the news in Israel. I’ll try to break it down as succinctly as possible: Part 1 Many Evangelicals (most?) are waiting for the end of the world. Not as in, “Oh no I ran out of coffee!” but like, and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. — Rev 2:23 So a weird thing occurs in my thinking to Evangelicals. If something bad happens to an Evangelical, like they break their coffee machine, they don’t freak out about it. They think about the end time, and how stuff in this life matters not, and they hold it inside. Even though they could REALLY USE SOME COFFEE right about then, they hold it in, for God will remember their sacrifice in the end days. (yes it’s a sarcastic example but bear with me). So their whole life these things add up until one day they WANT the end days to come because they are holding so much shit in. They start seeing signs everywhere that the end days are near and they just have to hold out a little longer then every single bad thing that ever happened to them will be redeemed and everyone else will feel the pain and NOT THEM! SEE I TOLD YOU FUCKERS TO PRAY! NOW GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY… (sorry I have a vivid imagination about these things) But they have been waiting a long time, like a few thousand years for this and so far its a no-go. Fox News and billionaires figured out this angst and how to turn it into votes so they can take everyone’s money (my summary of last 20 years) culminating in the largest theft in world history, Trump’s 3.2 TRILLION dollar tax break. That’s it, that’s all they wanted Trump for and they got it. I don’t think anyone of those dark money fuckers or Robert Ailes cared about anything else, especially our country. Then Covid comes along, OMG end of the world right? We need more clues! Oh Look! It’s a guy named Q. THE STORM IS COMING! Think about it, why is the concept of “The Storm” so popular, who the hell would believe it? How about millions of people that have desperately been looking, on faith, not fact or science, for the end of the world anyway? People pumped up and paranoid from watching FOX and the “War on Christmas” every year. People who need the world to end so badly they have been prepping and praying for it ever since Obama took office. Part II Does anyone know why the US supports Israel? Ok that’s complicated, let me ask a better question... Does anyone know why EVANGELICALS specifically support Israel, a Jewish nation, when people like Mel Gibson also try to remind us that Jews killed Christ, and it hurt really bad (looking at you Passion). It’s because of the end of the world. For real, I’m not kidding. That’s kind of a weird thing to base your foreign policy off of but of course its not that simple for the rest of us and it’s a debate for another blog. The point is Israel is DEEPLY associated with prophesies of the end times for Evangelicals. My Issue: Trump coming back (surely he will be elected again, or take the House, or whatever… my sarcastic point of their view) is a sign of the end times. Now look, ISRAEL at the same time is being INVADED. It’s and all out WAR! THE STORM IS HERE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! See my issue? “God” whoever or whatever you maybe (not a sic), please help us.
