Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church has said that there is no need to stir up fear around nuclear weapons, as Christians are not afraid of the end of the world.
Kirill added that this “does not mean that we should sit by idly”.
“On the contrary, our earthly mission is to be the Lord’s soldiers … to resist evil and defend high moral ideals. This is the goal setting in Russia,” he said.

I’m not Christian (I’m actually more of a syncretic Luciferian) and I’m not afraid of the “end of the world”, because isn’t logical to fear something that’s certain to happen soon. Actually, the world, as in the Earth, will last for millions of years until the Sun swallows it, but Homo sapiens have not been needed a Sun to swallow them: they’re swallowing one another as well as themselves, and that’s exactly what are taking humans to the inevitable fate. Humans are destroying the nature. Humans are polluting the Cosmos (thousands of metallic mosquitoes around the Earth, we call them “satellites” and “space debris” from “rockets” and other apparatuses humans took there). There’s no savior to come down from the skies. The many prophecies (Kali Yuga, Armageddon, Al-Qiyamah, Ragnarök and so on) are indeed self-fulfilling prophecies, as every form of life that is gifted (or, to use a better adjective, cursed) with the sentience is rendered self-destructive by nature. Like it or not, the “end of the world” has already started, and the very harbingers of doom are ourselves, our very human natures. It’s beyond nationalities and religions.
