Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

Evangelicals believe HARD in an end time prophecy and think jesus will personally hoover them up to heaven before bringing suffering to earth to punish the rest of us for our wicked ways. Evangelical think they are special. More special then everyone else. More important then anyone else. That's why they "know" jesus will personally rapture them to heaven and they are willing to kill humanity for the privilege. They really think they are god's favored and actively try to make certain events happen to move the prophecy along. They don't give a fuck about the future, or climate change, or preventing WWIII because in their minds the world ending is a good thing because it means jesus will come back - they want armageddon.

I grew up in an evangelical household. I was taught all the jews have to return to Isreal where they will die, the "good" christians will get raptured, and the rest of us heathens will earn hell on earth before dying horribly. They spend a large amount of time ruminating on this future they want to bring about. All religious sects have issues, but only one has a world ending death wish and has infested the US government which happens to have the biggest military on earth. That's a problem.

    The thing I find amusing about that is that they are so arrogant that they think that their actions to bring these events about can force God's hand.

    Anyway, their whole eschatology has no basis in their own scriptures, it's all crap made up by tent-show snake-jugglers in the late 19th and early 20th century.
