    I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you’re wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.

        I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It’s when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.

      It makes sense if they think they’re going to hell, but that would require having a level of self-awareness I don’t believe anyone trying to actively cause the end of times can possess.

        That makes even less sense. If you don’t think you qualify to get into heaven, why would you desire to speed up the rapture? You’d just get left behind anyway.

          Oh, I assumed that the rapture would work in a different way than regular death for some reason so maybe true believers could still go to heaven even if they’re sinners. If it’s all the same then yeah, I have no idea what their logic is either.

            rapture is a evangelical creation, im not surprised. many SHOWS have co-opted this when it includes christian themes.
