Peter Thiel's (Palantir & Paypal) Antichrist Lectures Met With Protestors

PayPal mafia OG Peter Thiel, whose data firm Palantir is currently assisting the Trump administration’s deportation machine, recently began taking time out of his day job (ghoulish billionaire defense contractor) to engage in some part-time work as a Christian evangelist spreading the word about the rise of the Antichrist. It’s been a bizarre sight, indeed, and this week, Thiel kicked things up a notch by launching the first of a four-part lecture series he’s doing about the Dark Lord.

Thiel’s super-exclusive lecture series, which began on Monday in San Francisco, was said to have been about “how his Christian faith informs his understanding of the world,” according to an online ad. The event was organized by a nonprofit called ACTS 17 Collective: Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society. Thiel has previously spoken at several events put on by ACTS 17, according to reporting by the New York Times. The group’s modus operandi is to court Silicon Valley executives and attempt to convert them to the Christian faith.

It’s unknown to the public just what exactly Thiel said about his “Christian faith” and Christ’s chief antagonist during Monday night’s secretive seminar, but there were plenty of people outside of the venue who were more than happy to publicly share their thoughts about Thiel. That is to say, a group of several dozen protesters showed up to the demon-centric event and offered ample criticism of the speaker, seeming to imply he was, himself, demonic.
