I appreciate the time and thought you’ve put into your response, but at this point, I have no interest in continuing this back-and-forth.

I’ve already made my position clear: I don’t believe the end is imminent, and I reject the idea that disengagement from the world is the answer. You claim that prophecy is over 70% fulfilled, but history is filled with failed doomsday predictions. If your timeline is "prospectively falsifiable," then time will tell—but I won’t be spending the next 42 months waiting for an expiration date.

You’ve framed my refusal to accept your interpretation as proof of spiritual blindness, but that’s circular reasoning, not evidence. Truth doesn’t require unquestioning belief—it stands up to scrutiny. I’m not rejecting inquiry; I’m rejecting fear-based certainty.

I was raised in Christianity. But I’m an atheist now. I no longer believe in divine prophecy, an afterlife, or a cosmic plan guiding human events. That said, even when I did believe, I saw a Christ who actively confronted injustice, not one who withdrew from the world and waited for it to burn. If spirituality leads to inaction, then it’s just another excuse for apathy.

That’s where I’ll leave this. You’re free to keep watching the clock. I’ll keep working to build something better.

Take care.
