Hi Platonist Guitar Cowboy It's not that complicated. The Revelation of John foretells the coming apocalypse.
St Augustine and anybody else has to stick with that book, like it or not, unless, of course, liberalism has already destroyed you.

It is exactly that. only that instead of vegetabless and game, it is minerals and energy and "biodiversity". I have to say that the utopism/apocalipticism is a perversion of christianity that had its justification in the spectations of primitive cristianity, but Saint Agustine reinterpreted it well to avoid its revolutionary and disturbing character. Joaquin de Fiore, broke with the agustinian interpretation and proposed a new age of?pirituality?n earth. This reinterpretation is widely?dmitted?y most historians as the foundation of modernity. The evangelical movements, the French revolution, the?ommunism?nd the current environmentalism are the derivations of this expectancy in ever increasing degrees of radicalism and inmanentism. ? Once the distorted?hristian?ects, first,?nd then the grand ideologies passed by, the only remain in the resulting nihilism are the primitive atavic cults that return naturally back, permeated by the distorted?hristian?spirations and all other rests of the shipwreck. Eric Voegelin is the great philosopher that more deeply studied the spirit of modernity as a consequence of the helenic and christian roots. I recommend "The new science of Politics".? It seems like the mix of fear and desire for the extraordinary grows with the repression of magic in ordinary life. Magic is dangerous because it promotes?yranny?nd manipulation, and the repression of magic allows an scientific study of reality, and for this matter the christian spirit gave science and, for the first time in history, applied science. But the desire for the extraordinary persist.? The apocalypse myth has been with every generation. Attacking it has nothing to do with finding flaws in the work of Hansen and co. Not my area of expertise, but from what I read, as far as we know, it's as solid as we can get. If everybody that tries to frame facts critically with available data is alarmist, then how can do you save criticism?
