Why? I was raised as an evangelical christian. End of time sermons are quite common, along with telling followers that they are warriors of christ. This doesn't seem any different than what these MBA leaders are saying "AI will destroy humanity, I can protect it."

It's delusional but it's quite effective, luckily it doesn't work on the general population but you can get a dedicated group of people, and as we see with the current government you don't need big numbers to make a huge impact.

Just stay away from it - if @dang allows it, then someone else will justifiably start saying "on par with shia muslims" in the same way you wrote your text.
