    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.

      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.
