The whole point of an apocalypse cult is that it offers you personally a seat on the space ship out. Those of us warning about destruction via AGI have no such offer; either everyone is saved including those who mock us, or no-one is.

While I'm on the subject: has anyone ever heard of a religion in which the apocalypse might potentially be averted altogether if we can just do some difficult task?

@ciphergoth My caricature of the Aztec religion is that they did human sacrifices so the sun would keep rising.
