Good question. The way I see it is there are myriad religions all with their own "end times". Some of the are bad and some are good. The worst is that of the fundamentalist Christian, where people are punished for all eternity for being themselves. Still, if I commit to that, I have to balance that against all the other bad armageddons. Fundamentalist hell is bad, but when compared to a coalition of other hells, it's not that bad. I'm left in a stale mate of scary afterlives, so any choice I'd make would be the illogical one. It's a "get out of religion free" card argument.
