      The Bible specifically requires that Man be good stewards of the gifts. So they are intentionally ignoring it to reach that selfishness.

      It seems that American Nationalist Christians in particular are embracing a strangely nihilistic worldview - it appears that a lot of them, and most of the politicians who identify as such - are actively trying to accelerate and exacerbate destructive situations in our societies and the world in general, because they want to get raptured. As in: they’re pushing policies that they know will be wildly destructive and harmful, and the destructiveness is the point.

      You’re forgetting that god gave Adam dominion over the beasts or some such bullshit. That really happened. Check the bible.
