Or maybe they really did see a future where people would stop believing the bullshit. Not through divine inspiration but through reason.
They probably knew of other religions on the decline.
It' wasn't written to scare people, it was written to warn people that time was growing to a close. Hell doesn't bother Christians, we want be there. Divine inspiration has nothing to do with people not believing, it has everything to do with people who think they know more than Christians about everything, people are reasoning themselves right into hell. This is also taught in then NT, you should read it some time, preferably before it's to late.

In a way, you are correct. It's a sign of the end times for Christianity.
You might as well accept that Christianity is here to stay and that it's not a superstition. Those who chose judgement are not on my list of the intelligent.

No it's not silly boy and you need to go back to the sandbox and bury your head, you need time to get your thoughts straight.

Oh, it will likely never be eradicated entirely.
But the numbers will drop to 10% or less. And there are already growing atheist communities throughout the Middle East so, Islam will likely go that way, too. But it will take a lot longer.
Judgemental people aren't intelligent? Take a look at virtually ALL religious people.
