Hi Jonathan - thanks for commenting. I explore the questions of apocalypse and the Wrath of God in a later chapter!

Another reference describing the deeply psychotic nature of right-wing Christians.

Meanwhile sinners sooner or later create hell-on-earth, especially as there are now 8 billion of us and we have the technology so to do, even to the degree of destroying humankind and the planetary eco-systems too. There are now more Christians on the planet than ever before, both in total numbers and as a percentage of the human population, and yet the world is becoming more and more insane every day.

The wages of sin is death.

Sin is the worst cancer in the universe. It is the worst sickness. It is the most horrific disease . Its implications cover the entirety of everyone's life. The world is filled with its systems and reeks with its torments and potentials, coming from all directions, most of which people cannot even see.

At present, a "culture" of total war, a "culture" of death is ruling, while the people are engrossed in consumerism. Brave New World & 1984 combined!

I wonder if what most people have in mind in terms of the actions of ‘God’, were we to repent, is actually the restoration of a fully operational God-denying system? In reality we want the Kosmokratur back? Be that system ‘moral’ or ‘caring’ God isn’t in the system. . . (Don’t know if that means I have to burn my Anglican credentials . . .)

But what if right-wing Christians are the leading edge vectors of the collapse of culture (or what remains of it) especially in the USA. Look at their support of the Orange Haired Monstrosity for example and their hope/claim that was/is "god's" chosen vehicle for re-christianising Amerika.

This website provides many examples of the essentially psychotic nature of their beliefs, and especially their applied politics http://religiondispatches.org

By their fruits and (especially) their actions you will surely know them!
