his mark of the beast attempt # ?
- gentleman11 6mo agoWeirdly, peter thiel is going on tour right now promoting the idea that the antichrist is coming and may be an organization or social movement rather than a person. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I only skimmed the articles about it
- jacquesm 6mo ago'And how do you know this is the case?' : 'Receipts, mostly.'.
- notahacker 6mo agoyeah, always struck me as odd that Thiel is more obsessed with identifying candidate antichrists than almost anyone else on the planet, including some people who are actually observant Christians, and yet it doesn't seem to have occurred to him that the most messianic secular figures who treat themselves as above mere laws and the guys making millenarian prophesies about the scale of what they're going to deliver are basically the guys in his rolodex...
- jacquesm 6mo agoAnd he's funding them.
- mindslight 6mo agoIt's just the same boring dynamic whereby every accusation is a confession. Come out swinging, and then the obvious parallels between the antichrist and Trump or even Thiel himself fall flat. Basically "no yuo"
- deadbolt 6mo agoPeter Theil's only worry is that someone/something is going to beat him to it.
