Far too many American Christians embrace a faulty, half-baked, doom-oriented, hyperviolent eschatology, popularized in Christian fiction (of all things!), that envisions God as saving parts of people for a nonspatial, nontemporal existence in a Platonic “heaven” while kicking his own good creation into the garbage can!
This teaching also claims that this all depends on our belief, and that without converting the world to that belief his kingdom will not come. As if it all depends on us!
