The Hurricane and the Trollstorm
I’m in the
Cone of Doom for Hurricane Irma here in Central Florida; it’s probably about
the 10th time in my life I’ve been in that range for a hurricane,
and this is probably the 40th time in my life I’ve experienced the
dance that goes with one of these. Such are the perils of Florida nativehood
and residence. But today I want to mention another associated peril that isn’t
life-threatening, although it rates as high on the Saffir-Simpson scale as Irma
does. I’m talking about long-winded blowhard fundamentalist and fundamentalist-atheist
trolls.
Every time we
get a hurricane, you see members of this crowd show up in the comments section
of news stories. On the fundamentalist side, you’ll get the loonies who say
that we’re getting hit with this thing because we approved gay marriage, or
because we voted for Donald Trump, or because we let the Seminole Indians open
bingo parlors. On the fundy atheist side, you’ll get the crackpot troll who savages
each and any expression of prayer by taking a few moments of his valuable time
to copy and paste (mentally, if not actually) an extended rant about how your
sky daddy isn’t going to save you from a Category 5.
These two
pests are two sides of the same coin. They’re both immature trolls with a
theology that wouldn’t pass muster in a pre-K setting. They also clearly need
something better to do, because they’re spending too much time evangelizing for
their cause, and they’re doing it in a way that’s not much different than the guy
with the Chick tract whose initial friendly greeting to you is, “Hello, do you
realize you’re going to hell?”
They also
have this in common: They’re both too dense to see why they are trolls. The
fundy thinks he’s helping save you from Satan. The fundy atheist thinks he’s
helping save you from spiritual immaturity (and in some cases, from voting for
Trump again in 2020). You have to ask yourself why they bother. The likely
answer is that they are vultures who are far too concerned with inserting
ideology into every discussion, no matter how inappropriate it may be in
context. These are guys who would make tactless rats of themselves in a funeral
parlor, to the point of slipping the latest Jack Chick or Dan Barker tract into
the casket at the viewing, just in case.
Anyway, with
the current forecast, I expect to be out of power for at least a day or two; so
if you don’t hear from me next week, there’s a good reason for it.
I’m out
hunting trolls.

"Last week, we highlighted “firefighter prophet” and right-wing conspiracy theorist Mark Taylor’s belief that the Illuminati and the Freemasons are using a special frequency to change people’s DNA in order to make them oppose President Trump.
On Friday, Taylor appeared on “The Sharpening Report” where he expanded on this theory, explaining that people who have had their bloodlines corrupted by sins committed by their ancestors are now being targeted by Satan via a frequency that is making them unable to see how God is using Trump to save America.
“People are picking up on the frequency of Satan right now,” he stated. “The goal of the Freemasons, the goal of the Illuminati, the goal of the globalists is to change your DNA. They want to change your DNA, they want you to hear what they want you to hear, see what they want you to see and speak what they want you to speak, act like they want you to act. They’re wanting to totally control you and the only way they can do that is through the bombardment of these frequencies.”
“It could be through music, it could be through the news media,” Taylor continued. “That’s why I keep telling people to stop listening to the mainstream news media, because it’s Satan’s frequency. This bombardment of frequencies that we have going on right now, it’s been proven scientifically that it will literally change your DNA, and that’s what’s happening to a lot of Christians. That’s why you’re getting a lot of Christians that are bashing Donald Trump or they can’t see what is going on, how God is using Donald Trump to help change America. They can’t see these things, they can’t discern, it’s because their DNA is being controlled right now by the enemy because they’re being bombarded by these frequencies.",,,,Close
I'll be praying for your safety JP
...MY DNA IS CORRUPTED!! {lol} Well, yes, but not that way.
The firefighter guy is not wrong about quite literal Satanic conspiracies (something I would still believe on the evidence even if I was an atheist and/or didn't believe an actual chief rebel angel exists), but he isn't being paranoid enough yet -- he thinks Trump isn't a tool of the conspiracy. {eyeroll}
Meanwhile, Irma now looks to be tracking up the left side of Florida, putting the state in the crosshairs of its worst winds. I have family on both sides of my family there, both living and visiting. Praying for everyone there; adding you and your family to the list, JPH. Strength and courage to you all.

Gosh JP, for someone who does his share of ranting and raving, you sure are critical of others who are no different from you.
I know JPH is not a ranting raving lunatic I knw because he's never at the meetings
