Yes, I removed a parenthetical "(or euphoria loop for the Rapture believers who know they'll be saved)". But I removed it because not all who believe in the Rapture believe they will be saved (or have such high confidence) and, for them, it is a doom loop.

Both communities, though, end up reinforcing the belief amongst their members and tend towards increasing isolation from the rest of the world (leading to cultish behavior, if not forming a cult in the conventional sense), and a disregard for the here and now in favor of focusing on this impending world changing (destroying or saving) event.
