[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, in some ways they are. I remember an  evangelical / fundamentalist christian telling me that we are here and once we use everything up and kill the planet, the rapture would come. And that's why he wasn't interested in recycling.

There are definitely wacko fundies out there who want the end of the world to come sooner rather than later, because they want to "raptured."

The rich republicans are using this narrative to gain as much control as possible and make as much money as possible.

I'm Christian, just not a gullible evangelical Christian.[/quote]

This is very much a belief in extremist Christian churches - that the rapture will come when the earth is destroyed, so that speeding earth’s destruction will get them to heaven sooner.

Frankly one wonders how they managed to miss that we’re supposed to be good stewards of God’s creation and that we are supposed to make earth as heavenly as possible by caring for one another but that’s just me with my pesky mainstream/progressive Lutheran upbringing.[/quote]

That's me with my pesky Presbyterian upbringing too...be good stewards and help others, and God makes the choice who goes to heaven. [/quote]
