        They don’t know what the end times actually is/entails.

        If you ask them for a proper explanation they can not answer beyond the fairy tale that they are taught.
        But a specific thing grounded in reality they can not point to, and if they’re called evil for wanting harm on millions of people you can see them think “how do I declare the victims to be evil?”.

        I’m convinced there currently are some in the US government who are so delusional that they think they in-person are one of the four horsemen personified…

        You know here in Australia, people have tried to “cure” religions they don’t agree with. White people have tried to exterminate Aboriginal religions. Because these religions were seen as dangerous and primitive.

        Personally, I think taking people’s religions away from them on a massive population level is genocide. Aboriginal Australians have faced genocide for their religion. And to Me, this meme looks like a call to genocide.

          To me it really doesn’t look like a call to genocide. In a democracy like Australia, religion is being defeated gradually by education, rational debate, and mockery when all else fails.

          That was ethnic cleansing using religion as an excuse. That’s not the same as doing away with religion. If your actual target is religion there’s no reason to mistreat people.
