Since, I come out of the Evangelical Religion, i can say that it was always there and spoken about. I remember it clearly! But, the judgemental part does seem to carry more weight now! Not only that...but the Evangelical black/white view is delivered with such determination and frequency ...that it can fool the unexamined 'mind.' From a distance, it looks like passion...for something real and meaningful! And passion, helps all of us to feel, 'alive!' Then 'they' seem to be blind to the consequences of their thoughts and actions. It becomes a fight for their 'belief system!' And, if your 'inner core' completely depends on this 'system of beliefs,' you will fight for it...even unto death! I have heard people say many times...'I would lay down my life for my beliefs!' Their beliefs and their person, is all the same. It is their way of 'existing' in the world! And, to separate them from their beliefs...would feel like a kind of death! And rightly so...as old warn out beliefs, should die and it is indeed scary when you delve deep into your own nature! We can't be sure what we will find there? The philosopher's were on to something, when they said, 'an unexamined life, is not worth living.' I may be paraphrasing here. But, out of examination comes, real freedom to be...who and what we are! And adjustments from that position, is simply a way to grow as a human being...even when you know that it may not always feel comfortable, examining one's self.

They want their apocalypse NOW!

Nothing new, nothing unique to Christianity, nor even religion. Political and social movements do it too. It's a human thing, and it's been going on forever.

Its money... scare you enough to send that donation in. Those assholes will say anything to work on your emotion and get you to send them money.

The bible, and religions in general, is just a smorgasbord of multiple choices to fit any agenda. (In My Humble Opinion)

This is NOT anything remotely 'new'. The christians like to say they're "peaceful", yet their history is nothing short of the exact opposite. Historically, christianity has been among the more violent and hateful of the mainstream religions.
They use their bible as justification to get away with whatever bullshit they please.
By and large, most religions have always been "nasty and mean".
What actually surprises me is that you seem genuinely surprised by this.

When the bible says thou shalt not kill it only means don't kill other Jews. The whole Abrahamic tradition was founded on violence and hate. Religious people are losing control of the world so they are doubling down and becoming more violent, again. They are scared that they are wrong and so they lash out at anyone who doesn't fit their ideology.

This isn't new. "Hell-fire and damnation" Christians have been around for a long, long time.
