For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I’m going to assume you have no personality.

Christianity has a large user base but is unpopular. Jesus is the living God and through him is the only way to the Father. He didn’t come just to forgive us and get us into heaven, but for the kingdom of God to break into every area of life here and now - health, peace, justice and more. We won’t see the fullness until his return but he already came out of the grave once and he said he is coming back. Biblical timelines say we should expect him relatively soon.
I think he goes by Mamdani now
Yeah, hasn’t it been a few centuries of this guy coming “relatively soon”. At that point I have to ask, relative to what? Human civilisation or the motion of entropy?
Biblically there was 2000 years between Jesus and Abraham, and another 2000 years between Abraham and Adam. Two thousand years after Jesus’ crucifixion is coming up within a handful of years. That’s six Biblical “days”, and God rested on the 7th day. There’s more to the timing people look to based on old prophecy but a lot of things line up for the next maybe fifty years. I’m no expert, but a lot of Christians believe this.
A lot of Christians believe a lot of things, most of it silly and untrue.
Your calculations are based on something that has already been thought of way back in the 1800s. And these guys are still waiting around for the second coming and the end times, despite every prediction they made never coming true.
Your first sentence is self contradictory.
Christians are a large group of people and at the same time a global minority. They can be at the same time a significant group and also looked down on by the majority.
They’d be so much cooler if they followed their boss’s example.
If billions of followers doesn’t make something popular, then nothing does. One of the beauties of Christianity is the a la carte menu and they all get to pick what they want to believe and still call themselves Christian. Christianity is both popular and ridiculous.
