Evangelical beliefs about the “end times” are hilarious, some day I should write up an effort post all about it. I wish more people knew about it. I was raised premillenial dispensationalist in particular, AMA.

All because of one book that barely made it into the Bible, written by some hopped up dude who could barely write Greek, and was not really taken literally until a couple centuries ago. And when you take it literally you come up with some real crazy shit, y’all don’t even know the half of it.

and was not really taken literally until a couple centuries ago

Catholicism is bad but Protestantism was a mistake

The book of the apocalypse? or is it another book?

Please do! I was raised in an evangelical household that told me that when the end comes an "al'qaeda" terrorist will saw my head off if I say I'm christian but if I don't I'll go to hell.

My favourite part about this is Orthodox Christian leaders saying that evangelicals are worshiping the antichrist due to their end times beliefs.

Critical support to the orthodox church.

I briefly looked into Eastern Orthodox Christianity in my deconversion process. I liked some aspects like how they view heaven/hell and in general they seemed pretty level headed but I never really explored them any deeper, I assume there’s plenty of problematic aspects with them too.
