Evangelical Paranoia is Next Level!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- The 2024 solar eclipse sparked a new wave of evangelical prophecies, end times predictions, and mass-hysteria/paranoia. Paranoid televangelists were quick to search for meaning in the utterly benign.

If you have any interest, I'd like to see your examination of the "miracles" performed by those cannonized saints that lived, say, in the 1900s. There ought to be pretty compelling evidence of these miracles - right?
The "end of the world" happens every 500 years or so.
The world is about to end !! Repent !! The elect will go to heaven !! Give me some more money !! Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners Club !! Direct money transfer !!

@atlurker8037 As far as I know, there's been only one saint in the last 100 yrs. They called her Mother Theresa, but by know means was she a "saint". She was brutal towards those sick and dying children in India.
Have you looked into "88 Reasons Why The Rapture Will Be In 1988"? It's a classic. Some retired NASA engineer did a bunch of Bible math, printed his own book, sent it at his own expense to every preacher in America, and got Christians all whipped up.
When 1988 came and went, he realized he had made a couple of minor mistakes and his math was off by a year. But then "The Final Shout: Rapture Report 1989" also didn't work out. So he hedged his bets with the title of "23 reasons why a pre-tribulation rapture looks like it will occur on Rosh-Hashanah 1993". His 1994 prediction, "And now the earth's destruction by fire, nuclear bomb fire" was his final bust.
From the Washington Post, after it was all over: "Whisenant, whose latest work sold only 30,000 copies, said he isn't planning any more books about the rapture or the end of the world. 'Now I can stand in front of the Lord and say I gave it my best shot,' he said."
Why is God so cryptic?
Answer: So conmen can get rich.
Beware of people who tell you God needs money then ask you to send it to their bank account.
Because he doesn’t actually exist.
Conmen is portmanteau from "confidence men". In turn, "confidence" has etymological roots in common with the Latin word for faith - the "fide" part. "Confidence" ultra-literally means something akin to "with faith". So conmen deceive and exploit others with faith! They exploit others' misplaced faith or trust in them and/or their character, at the victims expense. Conmen are the definitive demonstration of the folly of faith. Faith is not a virtue but a lure to ensnare and manipulate the gullible.
It is my hypothesis that very early religious leaders developed the concept of faith - the disguising of gullibility as a virtue prescribed by God - as a means of encouraging the uncritical acceptance (or pretense of uncritical acceptance, as a means of virtue signaling) of their ridiculous and outlandish claims, while also denigrating the more rational-minded persons who would doubt them.
No wise god that loves truth would ever consider faith as a virtue. That is just a simple, self-evident fact to anyone who cares to use just a little bit of critical and logical thinking. The only persons that stand to benefit from the promotion of this ridiculous notion of faith being a virtue, are religious leaders - which literally makes them conmen, whether they realize it or not.
@@caribbeanman3379 Wasn't there a 20th-century philosopher with a dark sense of humor who said that we should stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims that is religion?
@@DavidRichardson153 There was a 19-century humorist that said many of the same things. Read The Fly by Mark Twain.
An excerpt.
It is plain that there is one moral law for heaven and another for the earth. The pulpit assures us that wherever we see suffering and sorrow which we can relieve and do not do it, we sin, heavily. There was never yet a case of suffering or sorrow which God could not relieve. Does He sin, then? If He is the Source of Morals He does--certainly nothing can be plainer than that, you will admit. Surely the Source of law cannot violate law and stand unsmirched; surely the judge upon the bench cannot forbid crime and then revel in it himself unreproached. Nevertheless we have this curious spectacle: daily the trained parrot in the pulpit gravely delivers himself of these ironies, which he has acquired at second-hand and adopted without examination, to a trained congregation which accepts them without examination, and neither the speaker nor the hearer laughs at himself. It does seem as if we ought to be humble when we are at a bench-show, and not put on airs of intellectual superiority there.
It's been the end of times since the beginning of times.
Sounds vaguely like the beginning of a novel about the French revolution 🙂
@@kayb9979 Maybe the Beginning of Dan Browns The Davinci Code (Good Movie lol)
We are beginning the beginning times of the beginning. Soon to be the first day of the first days. Until the earliest of the first of the first days.
In Acts it says the end times started at Pentecost. So it’s been the end times for over 2000 years now according to the Bible. Kinda loses its emotional effect knowing this when people say we are in the end times.

Thank fucking god my family arent religious fanatics. It really should be considered child abuse.
It certainly feels like it.
Look at the incidents of SA in the church, the cover up by these institutions, by the pastors and the congregations, it’s disgusting . #ChildrenAreNotSafeInChurch #SaveTheChildren. Watch the documentary “Let us Prey” and you can see what really happens in churches
It IS child abuse. Coercive control at the very least. Unfortunately my cop brother and his wife are religious fanatics, prepping for His return…oh… and they also believe in demonic possession. To them I am an ‘ungodly woman’. Considering they physically, mentally, and emotionally abused their kids and I didn’t do so to mine, I find that pretty rich. But then their ‘ALL LOVING GOD’ did take his first-born and torture and sacrifice him for the wrongs of the rest of us, so if that is godly, I’ll take UNgodly as a huge compliment. Would be nice to have a sane brother.
It is child abuse.
My cop brother and his wife ARE religious fanatics. Thought I already posted this…but don’t see it. He preps and is anti-LGBTQ and super gung-ho Trumpster. He and his wife call me an ungodly woman. Considering they physically, mentally, and emotionally abused their kids with coercion and fear of deserving ‘nothing but death in HELL’ and I DIDN’T do that to my kids, I’ll take their insult as a compliment. As the god they worship tortured and killed his firstborn son for sins of the rest, I’ll take a hard pass.
Evangelicals: The eclipse is a sign of Jesus return!
Scientists: Eclipses happen fairly often and are a normal occurrence.
Kind of what happens when you don't have a single scientific thought in your head.
@@brianh9358 Oh it takes more than that - Doesn't _everyone_ have childhood memories of eclipses? Do believers just forget?

Hi. Jesus is coming "soon"? What exactly does "soon" mean? Is it "soon" in the geological sense of a couple of million years, "soon" in the tax department sense of "pay up before next month or else", or "soon" in the "don't hold your breath, it may be your last" sense. "Soon" sounds so immanent but is actually very vague, and "very soon" just makes me yawn more often. Cheers, P.R.
Jesus was invented by Rome based on many gods and persons, but is really a placeholder. Jesus the deity is different from the man, he becomes a cartoon when Christians combine them. The sea beast 666 suffered a deadly head wound in Psalm 74:14, makes a covenant in Job 41:4, and is given the name Jesus Christ in the flesh of Apostle Paul in Galatians 4:14. He becomes the curse in Galatians 3:13, the only savior in Hosea 13:4, and the Lion Leopard Bear in Hosea 13:7-8 and Revelation 13:7-8, where "All will worship him whose names are erased from the book of life." The word worship negates interpreting the beast as an empire.
American Evangelicals: "OMG THE WORLD IS GONNA END"
Also American Evangelicals: *only talks about America* 🙄
To be fair, American evangelicals think that the world beyond their “greatest country on god’s green earth and the inheritor of god’s promises to Israel” and it’s borders is a vast hellscape of the destitute and the greedy who are in desperate need of the light of god and capitalism…cause American exceptionalism or some shit if I remember my time as an American evangelical correctly.
You’d think an apocalyptic sign would be in the Middle East rather than the USA.
The USA is the centre of the world though. /s
Yep- trouble is it appears many Americans seem to think America is the world!
You're telling me? Every time I look up a recipe online it has cups and pounds instead of liters and grams. Nobody hates Amerocentrism like European home cooks!

It’s weird how they keep mis-pronouncing pathetic and saying prophetic instead .
everyone knows that if the moon sees its own shadow during the eclipse, it's at least 7 more years before Jesus comes back.

I was indoctrinated into the Pentecostal Church as a child, it took me 40 years to escape the insanity. I have been listening to the same doomsday lines for over 60 years. The end of the world is always right around the corner. It's a horrible way to live. I feel so sorry for the people that are still trapped In these chains.😞
Uh Area 51 has evidence...
I've been living like this for years now, and sometimes it is so tough that i just dont want to live anymore, i have some suicidal thoughts. How did you figure it out? It's so hard to wake up to another day and know that everyday is the same nightmare over and over. 😢
I predict that in 30 years, if I am still around, pastors will still be selling this silliness. And that's a prediction that I'd put money on.
As a Christian, unfortunately I would agree with you. If real Christians do not want to simply just believe in Jesus and trust in Him to fully restore us and fill us with peace like we say He does, we would not see this crap about knowing the exact hour Jesus is coming because a dang eclipse occurred. I saw the eclipse myself and honestly it brought me closer to God because to me it was is such an amazing experience being able to see a total solar eclipse.
@@RonaldNolasco555 Jesus is long gone and isn't coming back.

*Jesus is clearly speaking to the disciples and gives a timeframe for when the Son of Man would come.*
"Jesus sent these twelve out, charging them, saying: Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not go into a Samaritan city. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going on, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of Heaven has drawn near" (Matthew 10:5-7)
“Truly I say to you, ***you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes”*** (Matthew 10:23);
For the *Son of man* shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; ***and then he shall reward every man according to his works.***
Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here will not taste death*** before they see the *Son of Man* coming in his kingdom (Matthew 16:27-28)
Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here*** will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God (Luke 9:27)
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Mark 13:30)
*He says that the coming of the Son of Man will be accompanied by:*
The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
Then will appear the sign of the *Son of Man* in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the *Son of Man* coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Matthew 24:29-34)
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the *Son of Man* coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. When you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Luke 21:25-32)
He also falsely prophesied to the high priest, the Sanhedrin and Nathaniel.
*Jesus falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin*
Jesus also falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin (assemblies of either twenty-three or seventy-one rabbis appointed to sit as a tribunal)
You will see the *Son of Man* sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and ***coming on the clouds of heaven*** (Matthew 26:64) (Mark 14:62)
Except the high priest and the Sanhedrin never saw Jesus sitting at the right hand side of God, or coming on the clouds of heaven, or any such thing.
*Jesus falsely prophesied to Nathaniel*
Jesus also falsely prophesied to Nathaniel when he declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
Jesus said, You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that. He then added, ***“Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man*** (John 1:50-51)
*Nathaniel never saw any such thing. Neither did anyone else.*

An evangelical church has hung up a banner outside stating 'The final days are here!', with a photo of the Palestine conflict in the background. These people are excited by death and destruction, because they see it as a sign that their sky daddy is coming back after almost 2000 years. I find it sick and disgusting that people want to see immense suffering, that a world where people generally get along with one another is miserable for them because it doesn't have 'signs'. You have to be a psychopath to get joy from misery.
I agree with you well said 👏👏👏👏👏
They think they will be raptured out while the rest of us suffer.
They are in for a big surprise 😳
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. These people get off on cruelty, misery, suffering, like true psychopaths. Just the thought of it turns their underwear into a moist, sticky towelette
The reason evangelicals are such staunch supporters of Israel is that they believe the rapture will happen when the jews inhabit the entirety of the land they were supposedly promised. So it's not even that they care about the wellbeing and prosperity of the jewish people, as the jews would go to hell along with the rest of us. Pure selfishness as always with the evangelicals.

He becomes the curse in Galatians 3:13, the only savior in Hosea 13:4, and the Lion Leopard Bear in Hosea 13:7-8 and Revelation 13:7-8, where "All who worship him are erased from the book of life." The word worship negates interpreting the beast as an empire. 666 in the Greek text means Jesus Crucified.
I live in Kerrvile Texas which was the epicenter of the last two eclipses. It was a big nothing-burger. What WAS interesting was the abundance of churches and Christians singing hymns, speaking in tongues and expecting the rapture during totality. Their disappointment was both hilarious and sad at the same time.
But there was a rapture! All the righteous were taken up to heaven. Only the atheists and those hated by God were left behind.
(That’s what I told them, at least. Despite how hilarious I found it, they didn’t seem to think it was funny…)
@@DaveTexasyou, sir, are sinister.
We can be friends lol
@@DaveTexas you could of done one better all those who had no faith or hadn't enough faith were left behind, or hadn't asked for true forgiveness for things they had done to others, or couldn't find forgiveness for what was done to them.
Which would leave a bunch of them looking at them self's with shame.
Or... better than that...
With everyone focused on the eclipse, scatter clothes across the ground, and everyone runs and hides..
If my family and I were there we would be having a tailgate party and barbecue and just break out the eclipse glasses and have fun. And perhaps play some Frank Zappa to drown out the evangelicals.
Jesus has been coming and we were living in the last days. I was hearing this since I was born. I am in my 50s now, and evangelicals have been preaching this for years before. It is so sad that these folks live their lives waiting for the end of the world. What kind of life can you life just waiting on the end, fearing it will come at any time.
American evangelicals are always Oscar winners in their own movie - main character syndrome applied to themselves, their god, their local church, the US.
Ever since I was a child I use to hear "the end is coming", "the end is near". According to my calculation the world ended yesterday.
Ah. Bollocks. I have a ttrpg-club meeting tomorrow. What a bummer as we already are all dead....
Holy frack, I was raised in this cult. Yikes.
Completely bonkers. The US really worries me sometimes. I hope we stay safe here in Europe.
Hope !! Might just as well have Faith.
The US is already exporting shovelfuls of crazy with its evangelicals, sovereign citizens, antivaccine movement etc.
We in the US are also very worried
My family is still like this. I remember growing up and having sermons peached to me, at church and at home, about how the end was near. Constantly.
It terrified me every time. And if I hadn't unsubscribed from all that a few years ago, I would still be terrified. I lost countless nights worth of sleep over this.
Biblical hysteria never ceases to amaze me.
Not another End of the World please! I missed the last four!
Yeah I'm busy, I'll catch the next one.
Four?! I thought there were only two before this one (at least in my lifetime so far). I went out to celebrate the first two with friends. I remember saying something along the lines of "This was the best doomsday experience EVER!"
@@mitlandir5761 If you only had two in your lifetime, i'm reasonably sure you shouldn't be allowed to access the internet unsupervised. Or be physically able to, for that matter.
How do they have time for anything else than the end of the world? Must be a horrible life to live waiting for the end. To live for death and doom. What kind of a life is that?
I know quite a few people who were homeschooled who were simply handed a Bible, because: who needs education when Jesus is about to return?
@@HolyKoolaid Exactly. That is so sad. Child abuse.

Well people do say "It's the end of the world" if you don't have it...
Arrogance plays a roll in this silliness. These people want to believe the end is coming while they're on the Earth.
Because they’re convinced they will be the only ones going to heaven, from where they’ll gloat about the fate of everyone else.
@@kellydalstok8900 But those, who believe in him will have eternal life, innit?
True. They don’t want to taste death. Their too good for the rest of us.
I'd have more respect for them if they said "we did all the calculations and he's definitely coming back in the year 3562, sorry if you were hoping it'd be sooner."
I wonder how that affects the attitude of a person towards preserving and protecting the earth for our descendants?
Honestly, it wouldn't even be such a widespread issue if American public education system wasn't the worst among other 1st world countries.
OMG the Jesus screaming on the cross was shocking and HYSTERICAL!! Loved it!
I remember John Hagee telling the NPR audience that the end is nigh...over 20 years ago.
And my dad still gives money to that hack.
I remember that Hagge was convinced the world was going to end when we had those four lunar eclipses so close together! He even wrote a book about the four blood moons!
@@melissacooper8724yeah my mom had a book by him and I think that might’ve been it. I remember being a kid and her listening to the sermons regarding the four blood moons. I’m really confused about Christianity or more so religion period. I’m about to be 34 in July and I still get worried thinking what if Christian’s are right. I myself stay on the fence up until now but I’m trying to pick a side. Sometimes I think the way I was raised having it shoved down my throat might’ve hurt me more than helped me… I have kids as well and I don’t shove it down their throats I find myself trying to protect them from it more times than not..
My mom is super religious, I mean SUPER religious, and even she knew that the eclipse isn't a sign from God, but just a natural occurrence caused by orbiting bodies.
There's an eclipse every 18 days.
@@pcullen810
18 months. .

No. Absolutely not.
Only if you are a flat earther. Are you a flat earther? And a young earth creationist.
“The eclipse path crossed over seven cities called Salem and seven called Ninive. What does that mean?”
That Americans have no fantasy in naming their cities?
They named cities after fairy tales about magic and stole from a big selling fantasy novel. How much fantasy do you need?
I don't understand why they all want signs from god rather than actual answers
Because rather than having a bond with their Creator this sect of Christianity just wants to do things their own way instead of just trusting and believing in God, plain and simple, and not this extra inaccurate nonsensical things.
@@RonaldNolasco555 Enough with the fairy tales and mental gymnastics. You're a grown adult so act like it
wow! Thanks for the wake up call on being an adult, PraiseTheFlyingSpaghettiMonster!
@@PraiseTheFSMonster believing in God is mental gymnastics how? If nothing created the universe so intricately and fine tuned, the best answer you got is it all happened randomly and just decided to exist?
@@RonaldNolasco555 Mental gymnastics is what it takes to believe in a god. We are fine tuned for our world and not the other way around. If the world was different, we would have evolved differently. And if you think a god "fine tuned" the world for us, he did a *terrible* job. We have to wear clothes to protect us from our world, we need shelter for the same reason, our vision is terrible, our teeth rot easily, our skin burns when we're exposed to our sky, babies get cancer, etc etc etc.

@@Gerryjournal Let me translate it for you: blub blab bjbublb blalalala gigiblalbalalaa
"Tongues" in a biblical context literally just means languages. I think originally the "gift of tongues" supposedly given to the disciples was meant to be their ability to learn and/or communicate in the *actual languages* of the time.

Blessed are the gullible, for they are easily bamboozled.
So many nutter butters! I was an evangelical teenager in the 90's, and had a lot of anxiety about the rapture. Thankfully, I was set free from theism.
Christian types used to think comets were a harbinger of monumental events too.
“Used to?”
They still do, haven't you seen their crazy conspiracies about the upcoming one?
This is why education is important. So you aren't frightened by rocks and ice.
Funny how the bible can’t predict an eclipse, but science can down to the second.
The Bible isn’t a scientific manual.
Right.
If ever an eclipse happened off-schedule, THEN I'd consider divine intervention.
Even Jesus preached that the kingdom of God is coming back during his follower’s lifetimes. Didn’t happen.
Or maybe it did & we recovered, & that means God's been gone all this time.
Didn't Jesus tell the Disciples he would return before they died? They're long dead and still no Jesus. Interesting how Christians ignore that.
He was referring to all disciples of Jesus (future) and not just the 12 apostles
Basically so long as there’s still Christians existing in the world, we will wait until Jesus comes back.
@@RonaldNolasco555< Cue the Christian mental gymnastics.
@@samuelschick8813 I mean you can read Mark 13 for yourself, that he’s talking about a future event. I’m just reading what the book itself says.
@@RonaldNolasco555, Like I said, nice mental gymnastics. Jesus is just one of and the most recent over 7 resurrection saviors that pre date in history. Oh and they also had disciples.
God sure is fond of hiding the information we all need to be saved.
The sound christian answer I’ll give is He gave us the Bible to believe and be saved. Unfortunately I cannot co-sign or my belief in Christ with these “Christian” fanatics that want to say they know exactly when Jesus is coming when the Bible says “no one knows the day nor the hour”. Now before I hear the argument “oh but Christians have said that since the beginning of their religion” the answer again is found in the Bible which says “one day to him is like a thousand years and a thousand years as one day”. Because we believe God exists beyond space and time, time works differently to Him.
@@RonaldNolasco555 The hard part is the fanatics are so loud it's hard to hear the reasonable voices. 🙋♀️

@@cliftongaither6642 no. Can you?
Listening to the evangelicals talk about war and end times makes me believe they will eventually force the issue. Sure they're being called by god to enact his will.
Feel like that’s a major reason why Israel exists as a nation since the late 40’s/early 50’s, to be honest
According to the scriptures they shouldn’t be the cause of war. Jesus’ most famous sermon specifically states (Matthew 5:9) “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”
@@RonaldNolasco555 It do say that but the thing about american conservative evangelicalism, they cherrypick the verses they like and vehemently ignore the verses they dont, then claim the bible is behind them. and the worst part is that some of their beliefs, obviously not the one we are talking about, actually correlate with the bible, so they think all their beliefs are vindicated. and if confronted, the cognitive dissonance becomes so blatantly real.
