That’s the most ironic part. They all think that they’ll be so smart that they see it and can spot the Antichrist. But the AC will gain power by being a charlatan that hoodwinks normal Christians like them. They’re actually playing into their own enemy by being stupid.
No, like, Christians either don’t believe that Judgement can be delayed (and that it’s heresy) or they want to accelerate it so that Jesus can return sooner and they can go to heaven. What third group is out there trying to prevent Judgement?
Ahhh, OK, sorry I didn’t understand that’s what you were getting at. Not ignoring it, I must have just missed it.
Though, maybe where we disagree then is that I don’t think they think they’re hastening the AC, they think they’re hastening the rapture, which, while not up to them, is something televangelists and evangelicals will leverage for money.
That Thiel doesn’t want to be an accelerationist in general is likely because he has more money than he can spend in 10 lifetimes, and wants to get that group to see things as father of than “it’s next week” so he can scam money and power from them.
But you said it yourself, the Evangelicals want the antichrist to come.
So. Who is he appealing to?

No idea. Why would they want to prevent it? They’re the only ones that get a payoff if it happens.
That’s… what I’ve been saying? Christians don’t want to prevent or delay the antichrist.
Yeah, and I never disagreed with that.
No, you just seem to be ignoring my point, which is that Thiel is the odd-man out for saying we shouldn’t hasten the antichrist.
Christians either believe the antichrist can’t be hastened or that hastening the antichrist is good. He’s off doing his own heresy.
