"The other religion is the true one."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I feel like a way worse thing to say would be "your religion is the right one." This would 100% increase religious tensions and fan the flames of fanaticism. Saying the other one is true isn't likely to play into people's already established worldviews and established worldviews are not changed by a single sentence regardless of who or how it's said.

Do they know it’s my thought or do they think it’s their own?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It’s not round, but it’s not flat either!

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Gradually escalating unidentifiable whispering. Everyone starts asking if you can hear something, you all start agreeing you can hear whispering but not what it is, then the paradolia kicks in and people start hearing what they expect to hear. The constant gradual increase in volume. Increases the fear and certainty in what people are hearing, but also disrupts sleep and wakes anyone who was sleeping. Soon everyone is awake, sleep deprived, and panicked.

Wouldn't matter for people who still don't really have access, but I'm taking a page out of supervirus Daemon's book and telling everyone the web has been 100% infected and that they only have a short amount of time before it deletes itself permanently.

"Is this thing on ?" And then never say anything further.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Something like "This is God speaking." and "You were right, and all the other religions were wrong". Nukes would just fling flang and we'd finally just end it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The rapture of the holy happened five minutes ago and no one was saved. The next 3.5 years will be chaos, starvation and death. Save yourself if you can.

None of you are correct, except Jeff, he can get it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kind of against the letter of the rule since this isn't really intended to cause chaos for the sake of chaos,but I'm sure chaos will result nonetheless.

"This is God, there's a reason why i put variations on love thy neighbor in every single religion. Differences in faith and race don't matter, helping others and making the world a better place do. You've disappointed me, do better"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do better? That's liberal shit and you lost every right winger.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

That's where the chaos comes in, how would they reconcile the dichotomy between an ostensibly divine message that directs them to follow the teachings of the religion that they profess to follow and the actions of their own party that directly contradict that in a lot of ways? Chaos would be an understatement for a lot of them.

I'm sure the mental gymnastics involved with trying to reconcile both sides would be worthy of the Olympics.

God's a RINO!!!

I believe God would approve, at least of the intention. 🙏

'YOU! You know what you did! Make it right!'

Then sit back and look at all the guilty faces.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Might as well add a threat to it to really drive the point home.

You guys know "everyone" includes trump, putin, jo-un, jimping, and all the other crazies out there right?!

Do we want to end the world?
