Well, St. Paul thought that the only purpose of marriage was to prevent fornication, because in his mind the world would be ending soon and it was better to stay celibate. He didn’t even think starting a family was a wise idea with the end of the world looming.
So it seems to me that if you truly believe the world is ending, then there’s nothing stopping you from completely abandoning worldly concerns. To some that’s probably reassuring, especially when they see nothing but chaos around them. “End times” is a way to placate yourself.
