    I dunno why these chowder heads think they are the kind of people that will get raptured. “Oo I do lots of evil shitty things but I’m totally going to get chosen by a sky fairy who picks people for doing nice things.”

      They are mentally ill sociopaths.

      It doesn’t make sense because you’re trying to ascribe logic where there is none.

      who picks people for doing nice things

      That’s not what most evangelicals (and the rapture is at this point mostly only subscribed to in its usual sense by US evangelicals so far as I can tell) believe. It’s all about the Jesus not the nice.

        You’re quite right, supply side Jesus seems to have a bit of a different focus than classical nice guy Jesus…

      “No-one is the villan of their own story.”

      They think they are doing more good than harm. It’s fucked up, but it’s still helpful to understand how they view the world. It makes it easier to predict and counter them.

      To them, it’s like you threatening to beat up the local priest, while on the way to a major aid drive, because he parked wrongly. They are stepping into stop you interrupting the Lords work! Of course they will be rewarded for that!
