The answer to that is to do what God said to do to hasten his coming: spread the gospel. Not ban abortions, arrest gay people, criminalize trans people. Spread the gospel. Anything else is them using religion as an excuse to promote their opinions. I realize a lot of people here recognize that, but I still think it needs to be said.
Don’t you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what’s happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.
The ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God needs their help for his plans.
They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.
It’s how they justify a lot of the shit they do.
-Susan B. Anthony
Man, when Berry Goldwater thinks that’s a problem…
It is their divine duty to do the things they already wanted to do and say it was for Jesus.

Well he did only work 6 days in his life
And don’t forget money! God needs millions of dollars to turn into his will! God’s will is surprisingly dependent on cash donations.
