I thought the end of the plot was the rapture for the good and apocalypse for the rest of humanity. So unless we somehow missed the rapture (oh shit that might actually be the case ๐ค) the Bible didn't spoil anything.
But anyway, I think Christians don't want people to read the Bible, they want people to become Christians. And to do that they should act more like JESUS CHRIST! Like going into rich peoples homes, throwing around tables and fuck shit up!!!!!
1.) The rapture appears nowhere in the Bible. It was a doctrine created in the 1800's through a deep misunderstanding of the history and culture in which the Bible was written.
2.) You are correct. Most evangelicals are fundamentally incapable of spoiling the Bible because they do not understand it.
Modern Christians act nothing at all like Jesus
