Document Summary
Mutually assured destruction, was evident for any strike from an enemy force. In the 60s we had education for children for atomic weapons and what to do in the fight of atomic powers. 2: the doomsday clock was created in 1947. In the following years they experienced famine, the loss of. Jerusalem to the muslims, and a view of a supernova from earth: the church decides that christ didnt come because they didnt convert enough people and didnt cleanse the world. We see large scale attacks on non christians. In a doomsday cult, people believe in the end and come together to elevate themselves and their leader to be spared in the annihilation of humanity: passive vs active doomsday cults. Passive speak of people paying for their sins at the hands of a higher power, they speak of people"s judgement but do not enact it by their own hands. They were very ritualistic and followed ancient practices.
