Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. It’s an event that the Vatican, and the pope, are treating with caution.

      He doesn’t have any. He grew up in an evangelical household. Studied philosophy and law. Somehow he developed a fixation on the Antichrist, Amageddon and the Apocalypse. He doesn’t have any formal backround in bible studies, though. And some people call his lectures “amateurish talk”.

      My dad is into theology and he found this podcast episode on Thiel’s theology interesting.

      Thiel grew up under apartheid and went to an elementary school with nazi values though, so that gives a little context.
