who are responsible for Project 2025, who believe that because they are "chosen," part of their responsibility is to eliminate everyone else who isn't. The roots of that run deep into Calvinism, and they justify getting around those pesky principles and doctrines about the sanctity of life, and being made in the image of God that Jesus laid down as core doctrines, by a doctrinal perversion called "dispensationalism." In other words, time is divided into dispensations and in the next dispensation, Christians will not be bound by the teachings of Christ, but by their destiny of fulfilling their mission which will be to punish the enemies of God by executing them. They'll deny it but if you think your mission is to murder everyone who disagrees with your religion, telling the truth isn't a high priority.

We talk about this but I still think people don't really take it seriously. Yet they keep marching on, virtually unopposed.
