Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.

In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents “off-the-record,” according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but also threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.

It will never stop amazing me the that any of these hyper powerful people buy into the horseshit propaganda of religion.

It's really funny because Peter Thiel is supposedly a Christian, yet he is obsessed with trying to achieve immortality, going as far as injecting the blood of younger people. But as a Christian, why is he afraid of dying when one of the promises of Christianity is eternal life after death?

He’s legitimately one of the most confusing humans I’ve ever encountered in any capacity, he does seem to legitimately believe but his actions and ambitions are those of someone terrified of the end of his existence on this plane.

The longer he can stay here, the more he can fuck shit up.

Creep like that? He’s worried about going to hell (probably due to his trips to epstein island) or he’s worried that there is no afterlife at all.

I just wish these fucks would have their existential crises without involving us poor folks.

He's projecting his plans onto whom he sees as purity
