Re: Delusions of Persecution and all that
In retrospect, maybe we shoulda spent more effort on rigging the midterm elections and less on sabotaging the obscure blog of a complete nonentity. Still, there's always 2016. ALL HAIL SATAN!

The world IS terrifying to those who understand what's going on. But that doesn't mean I'm terrified. I'm not.
Yeah, think about that. You have constructed a terrifying world, and yet even you yourself are not terrified by it. Isn't that because you don't really believe in it?
And this is what I've always observed with paranoid loonies. They promulgate a belief in their fantasy worlds, but they never behave as though they live in them.
And to make this point, this is why I asked you if you were interested in a wager. I have met lots of people who have paranoid delusions. They declare that any minute now Obama will declare martial law, or take everyone's guns away, or Christianity will be declared illegal, or ... well, all this crazy stuff. And I ask them: what will you bet that this will happen within a year? Two years? Four? And none of them ever take their own end of the bet. They go about saying it will definitely happen any minute now, they can see all the signs, but ask them to put $100 on it, they run away.

What wager? I forgot. If you are betting about timing, that I wouldn't bet on, trends perhaps, ultimate outcome, not timing.
But let me refer you to your post #626:
Faith writes:
Once it starts it goes fast.
My emphasis. You have given your opinion as to timing. Once these churches have been subpoened, "it goes fast". How fast? Months? A year? Two years?
But as usual, you think that it's imminent, that it will "go fast", but you won't bet on it happening within any given time.
And we can't know exactly what is to happen and how, we just see things coming together in an ominous way ...
Yes, it's perfect weather for paranoia. You can see that any moment now bad things are going to happen, but you don't have to say when, 'cos that would commit you to an idea that could be proved false.
About being terrified. I would be if I knew what I know but didn't have faith in Christ.
The world IS terrifying to those who understand what's going on.
Argue this one out between you. I'll get popcorn.

For PaulK: This is an example of an abusive post and it's not mine.
I guess you identified that as abusive because I used the phrase "paranoid loony". But I am telling you that you're behaving like a paranoid loony because you are behaving like a paranoid loony. This is not mere abuse, this is how you behave.
I mean, let's look at the stuff you posted about how many hits you got on your blog. This is classic paranoia, it's the sort of stuff that schizophrenics come up with: they always combine their paranoia with megalomania. You are combining paranoia with megalomania: you are supposing that although your blog at best only gets views in three figures, you're important enough for THEM (whoever THEY are) to suppress.

Bet?
It's picked up enormously just in the last few months, that's why I think it will probably come together in a fairly short time, within months or a year.
So, let's bet on it. "Within months or a year", you say.
But I would never bet on such timing.
Oh, what a surprise.
I would. I would bet on it. Because I really believe what I'm saying.
You wouldn't.
You all don't see the signs because you think they are all good things, progressive and so on.
Whereas you're so much smarter than me, and you can see the signs. You know what's coming.
And yet I am willing to wager on the outcome, and you are not. Since you've seen the signs, you have certain knowledge, which you won't bet on. Whereas I have mere belief based on empirical data, on which I will bet my shirt, my pants, and actual money.
If you really believe in what you're saying, let's agree to a bet.

But it's crazy and you know it to take my guess at months to a year as something hard and fast.
But it's what you said.
So now you're saying "it's crazy and you know it" to think that you believe what you said.
That was my point, Faith, that was my point. Also, that it's crazy and you know it.
Why don't you propose this wager in specific terms and name your bet.
It's your paranoid fantasy, you haven't said exactly what terrible thing will happen in "months to a year". Christianity will be made illegal? You'll all be herded into FEMA death camps? It's your fantasy. The nearest you've got is "In Nazi Germany things built up behind the scenes for a while and then it seemed to all come together all of a sudden". I bet you $100 that in "months to a year" America will not resemble Nazi Germany.

Look, I don't have to be anybody at all to get targeted by zealous gay rights advocates or other Political Correctness police. It's what I write that would attract their attention, not who I am. You didn't have to be a very important Jew to get carried off by the Nazis, just a Jew period.
It's a wonder you can post for all that genocide that's being done to you, you freaking paranoid loony.
How about that bet, then?

First the pagan Romans threw us to the lions and later the Roman Church slaughtered us by the millions.
And now something much much worse is happening --- in certain states, certain people under certain circumstances are not allowed to be mean to gays in certain ways. Well, it's one thing to be eaten alive by lions, but imagine the savage cruelty of not being able to express hatred as and when you choose. My heart bleeds for you.
Of course, these laws, where they exist, apply equally to Christians and non-Christians, but as Christians are much more likely to hate gay people, the laws are obviously anti-Christian --- like the laws against molesting choirboys.

And which twisted lies would be?
I've noticed lately that you've been making a lot of very non-specific accusations of dishonesty. This is frankly unimpressive. If you really find your opponents' arguments unanswerable, it would be more dignified to shut up. But if you have answers, you should try to supply them.

Big lie back there about it being a Christian who beheaded a person in Oklahoma. Unbelievable lie.
It appears to be perfectly true. Why do you think it's a lie? If it is, it is certainly not one of mine, it's what's been reported by, y'know, everyone.
The term "hate" is pure formulaic Political Correctness propaganda and a big fat lie. The kind of term used to manipulate emotions as prescribed by Hitler himself. Worthy of Goebbels. That's why I think they'd love you in Washington, you're so good at it. Ministry of Propaganda.
Y'know, when you go around comparing anyone who dares disagree with you to Hitler and Goebbels, you do seem to be a teensy bit hate-y.

The guy was a recent convert to Islam and beheaded the woman because that's what Islam says to do.
That would be a different guy, Faith.
Political Correctness is promoted by slanderous accusations, typical propaganda method. Form of ad hominem. Comparison with Goebbels Propaganda Ministry quite legitimate comparison of method.
And yet it is rather hate-y to compare me to genocidal lunatic war-criminals. If you wish to say that I'm a liar (and you turned out to be wrong), there are ways to do so without bracketing me with people who are also mass-murderers, and all of those ways would be less hateful.

Christians don't murder people because Christianity forbids murder, it doesn't advocate it.
Oh for fuck's sake, Faith. He was following the commandment to kill wizards. You know, the commandment that's in the same freakin' chapter of Leviticus as the verse saying that gay sex is an abomination?
