When everyone waits for the end of the world every current event is confirmation.
Especially when they're dead wrong.

No.
There are no gods. Hence, they can not "look after their own".
That's just more of that magical thinking that creates hardship for everyone.
Religion and politics rely on fear-mongering to keep the sheep in check.

The people of Jesus' time thought we were in the "last days" and they were as wrong as the people who decry that today, and have decried it for hundreds of years.

The world has always been filled with everything you mentioned. In reality, things are better now than they have been historically...except for the current threats to us due to climate change that is exacerbated by human behavior.

If we are in the last days for humanity, it has nothing to do with any gods and everything to do with nature and human behavior. The earth does not care if humans are on it or not- it will survive; as a species, we may not.

religion is a death cult...they welcome, they feed on, death and destruction.

A god isn't necessary to destroy us. It is the culmination of fear, selfishness, hated, tribalism and racism, stubbornness, and ignorance, with no accountability over the centuries that has brought us to this point.

As for believers, they fit right in and ignorance is bliss.

No. That doesn't even make sense.

1. Where did you get the "statistic" that church going people are struggling less?
2. What does the predictable dynamics of human interaction have to do with any deity?
3. The "shootings" are localized (America specifically outside of war zones), lawlessness is nothing new nor are plagues or pestilence. Flood and droughts were predicted based on global warming and starvation is nothing new in a capitalistic world.

Many religions think that these are the 'last' days but they have been saying it for yonks.

I think you'll find that most God-botherers do indeed look after their own kind BUT it comes with a often hefty cost in that they pay their tithes even when they can't really afford them.
I once had the luck to over-hear a local Pastor explaining how tithings work.
He said, quite openly and candidly, that out of every $500 of tithings he puts aside 10% for the running costs of the Church or whatever building they use for meetings, 40% for assisting his congregation members who may be in need of financial assistance from time time, the remainder goes to cover his expenses like fuel for his OWN vehicle/s, clothing, etc, etc, and what is left over from the average 5-7,000 dollars per Sunday is put into HIS Bank Accounts.
So, I wonder just what exactly happens to the 'extra' 50% each week, why does it NOT go to helping the Homeless, the Poor, the Destitute, etc, who are NOT members of his Congregation?

It’s called the way of things. Nature doesn’t care if you build a house of straw. There have always been dramas. If anything Enola Gay’s little jaunt over Hiroshima was the end times. It proved how fucked mankind is. You don’t need gods to do that shit. Just need god as your scapegoat!

Read below, lots of good answers, especially on the god front.
What evidence y'all got for shootings and lawlessness that surpasses anything from a hundred years ago? Violent crime is down in the US.
There are more climate happenings, which can easily be explained - Man-fucking-made Climate change.
Wake the fuck up and do some reading.

It has been the lasts day since man could write, and talk and draw, and then some. And we're still here, and we will still be here. No worries, not that you can do anything about it anyway if it was true.

Everything that is and has happened was and is done by us humans. There is no God/s involved here. All natural disasters are just the planets way of processing itself. God has always been only in people's minds never out here in our tangible reality.

...surely you jest?

No, why would i wonder anything about a fictional character (outside of a literary context)?

g

There are no gods or religions, all bullshit.

Which god might you be referring too and why choose it out of the thousands that are believed to exist in human imagination?

God doesn't take care of anybody. Prayers never get answered because they fall on deaf ears. God never existed. Jesus never walked the earth. There is no magic, it's an an illusion. When you die, there is nothing. Total void. Fade to black. Still feel brave?

Bible-basher? What are you a troll? There is no god and the church people are in the same situation as everyone else as far as i can see, except that they are stuck in their delusions and think that praying will change things. People in a community will have help from that community. The church people do it because they want a reward in the afterlife -not all- and they pray to an imaginary made up being that lives in the sky.

What objective evidence do you have that any god exist? What do you mean about the last days?

Christian church-goers are viral incubators. Plague-ridden vermin. It is almost certain if the Christian is also a Trump supporter.

What is happening today is very plain really. It involved people losing their fear of crime and punishment in both political and religious realms. This makes the believers of (whatever) just keep on making it up.

As for the "last days," Jesus told his followers that they were in the last days and some of them would live to see him coming back in glory. Anyone seen any 2000 year old men lately?

Too brainwashed to see

Many churches provide a support system and that enables like thinking people to feel reassured. Worrying about end times is as much a waste of our time as worrying about rapture. I am a Practicing Stoic, and recommend picking up a copy of Epictetus. Don't worry about things you can neither control or influence. Rather, we can live more happily if we worry less about those things that we can't impact and focus more on doing whatever the universe actually places in front of us. Do that as well as we can, accept people for what they are, and focus ourselves on how to do better and be more effective. Don't sweat the small stuff, and most of what we worry about is small stuff.

Some chuches more than other's I'd say. Certain believe in "divine providence." Rather than giving money to the poor in Christian charity they believe their wealth is a gift from God, a reward for being so good and holy. Conversely that poor people probably deserve their fate....
