Like do these people seriously not think that their God would be pissed at them for forcing the conditions to occur just so they can pull this “Jesus hates this one neat trick to force the rapture” b.s and get into heaven earlier than should have happened?
We all know the famous quote from the Bible: And God said unto thee: murder and bomb people, once you cause enough bloody chaos we’ll open the gates! Extra virgins for you the browner the victim of your onslaught!
Remember that time that God told Moses to strike the rock so that the people could drink water. Later, Moses struck the rock again without instruction from God, and God was all like, “oh, that’s cool. I’m a super-chill and reasonable being; you don’t gotta ask me for permission to end your own suffering.”
Oh wait, I’m misremembering what God said. I believe it was actually something along the lines of, “I’ll fucking kill you, Moses. I’m gonna make you slave and toil to bring these people, who I’ve expressed nothing but hated for, to the land that you’ve dreamt of seeing, and then I’m gonna fucking kill you right before you get to see it. You know what, motherfucker? Write that shit down. You’re gonna write a fucking book about how powerful I am compared to you little shits, and you’re gonna write about your little fuck-up, and how I’ll fucking kill you. I decide when the suffering ends!”
So, yeah. Let’s assume that so these pious assholes and their moody invisible friend are right/real. What part of their book has ever indicated that God wants them accelerating his plans?
I agree with the sentiment but god does command some serious carnage:
Ezekiel 9:5-7 (ESV): “Pass through the city after him and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women.”
Psalm 137:9 (NIV): “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”
1 Samuel 15:3 (NIV): “Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
The one about the Amalekites is being cited today by the Israeli government to justify killing everybody in Gaza and Southern Lebanon (and soon the West Bank).
The US and Israel are insane religious states just like Iran.
Don’t forget the Flood story where he killed nearly entire human race, and numerous other tales of death and destruction (Sodom & Gommorrah, Jericho, etc.).
It’s all so fucking stupid.

The God described in the Bible is a monster.
…and, once again, the surest way to anti-theism is to actually read their texts.
