Praying for Armageddon, a fascinating and terrifying new doc, hits @BerthaDocHouse tomorrow. It’s about Christian evangelicals and the growing movement to actively bring about the end of the world. I spoke with co-director @TonjeSchei about it for @Dazed

1/2 Frank Schaeffer: "Then there is the Armageddon lobby of evangelicals. Evangelical American voters in the Republican party want a final conflict with all other religions, all other political points of view, they see it as us versus them. True Christians versus everyone else."
