(15,549 posts)evangelicals who believe that they are doing the right thing to sabotage things the government does that are morally right, because the so-called rapture and second coming of Christ needs to be hastened. They think they are helping to hasten it by their actions.
If you are familiar at all with political theory, this is Leninism at its best. Karl Marx believed that the western capitalist democracies would fall of their own accord, but Lenin didn't see that happening fast enough and so he created a doctrine whereby the Soviet Union would actively sabotage what the west was trying to do, which wasn't all bad if you look at it - we had noble people who actually tried to make things better in the world. They did.
And the Soviets sabotaged those efforts every step of the way.
Ironic to me that the same dynamic is taking place today, and that Russia is every bit as involved.
