Commenter argues self-fulfilling prophecy is not prophecy
Original: @ chrissbiblenewsletter A prophecy is not a prophecy if people who are aware of it actively work to make it come true. T
A religious commentator argues that a prophecy loses its meaning when believers who know about it actively work to bring it about, calling that a plan rather than a prediction. The remark criticizes those who supposedly crave end-times scenarios, saying any such outcome would result from human action, not divine foretelling.
Why now: It challenges religious end-times beliefs in a way that sparks debate about prophecy and human agency.
Evidence
- @ chrissbiblenewsletter A prophecy is not a prophecy if people who are aware of it actively work to make it come true. Then, it's more of a plan than a prophecy. You may get the end times you so desperately crave, but it'll be because of your religiously deluded fellow humans.… · tomcapuder@universeodon.com · 1
