Their entire “live for today and do nothing for tomorrow” attitude in the conservative christian Right is based on the idea that none of this is permanent, that the bible is factual and literal, and that Jeebus is coming back aaaannny day now and he will make everything white I mean right.
No need to worry about the environment, economy or education system if nothing is real and everyone is going to be raptured to some magic place that lets you … bask in God’s glory? I have no idea what they actually think is going to happen in heaven, dead grandma is going to serve them cookies every day and they are going to be fine with it literally for INFINITY amount of time.
The entire narrative is so flimsy that it takes the concept of some huge conspiracy to keep it alive and remotely believable. This is the entire basis of the flat-earth movement as well.
Our species is lacking more than education and critical thought, we have large sections of the population lacking thought broadly, like no internal system of abstraction, language and comparison to find truth or objective reality. They just react to stimuli and go through life on auto-pilot and emotion. This is why these “movements” persist for hundreds or thousands of years despite all evidence to them being utter bullshit.
