"we've walked with one lady who was diagnosed with 32 distinct personalities as a result of horrific occultic abuse, and she eventually was one whole, complete individual, healed by Jesus"
Also, to get a little pedantic on ya, the described symptoms are more consistent with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which is tends to manifest in response to early childhood trauma, particularly sexualized trauma. I would suggest that DID is an expression of PTSD/CPTSD particular to neurodivergent folks, purely because everyone I have ever known with DID also had a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD.
Schizophrenia is associated with bizarre delusions and can include auditory hallucinations which may or may not be what we call "command hallucinations" in which "the voices tell them to do things". A bizarre delusion is a delusional belief that is inconsistent with the culture a person is from. So particular religious beliefs might be delusional, but not necessarily bizarre, like The Rapture in the context of Left Behind sweeping the West around the turn of the century. In contrast, economist John Nash believed he was in line to be the Emperor of Antarctica during one of his more public episodes.
I wouldn't make jokes about *your* depression...I don't know you¹. I'll make whatever jokes I want about my depression, anxiety, post-concussive, etc....i paid the price for the Right to do so in a desert half a world away.
(¹ Nor do I want to, you seem quite the enema nozzle. Have a day.🙂)
And yet, despite his expertise, he worked (past tense) as a web page advertising admin instead of a licensed professional health worker. Who'd a thunk it?
Guessing we’ll be seeing a wrongful termination lawsuit from Billy Butthurt claiming discrimination over not being allowed to freely exercise his religion at work. Keep in mind these are usually the same people who throw screaming fits if a Muslim woman wears a headscarf on the job.
And honestly, if BGG continues with their line of "the ads would've not been allowed anyway", he could easily win that lawsuit. Because basically they've admitted he made the right decision and they fired him for being religious about making it.
They really screwed the pooch here. They needed to say it was the wrong decision made by an individual based on that person's bigotries, not company guidelines.
Ha. That reminds me. At one customer I used to support, in the cube next to him was a Muslim woman who always wore a very beautiful hijab. Further neat fact: she was an engineer!
My answer to that hasn't changed. The people deserve respect only as far as they respect me. Their beliefs are irrational and have no basis in fact, and thus deserve NO RESPECT.
Chilled axes ("Chillaxes") are definitely real, though, though such a situation makes it a bit more difficult to chop wood. Good that you mentioned them, as their existence contrasts with the non-existence of both Satan and Jesus./s
No doubt the advertising manager will play the victim and sue for "religious discrimination" because he wasn't allowed to religiously discriminate against others.
You can sell or buy games where you murder your opponents, which I suppose is good christian fun since the bible advocates for it but heaven forbid (pardon the pun) that you present a game about god's own creation: Satan. Clearly, pitiful christians and their 'god' are powerless to stop imaginary enemies.
I do occasionally enjoy a suffering from demonic oppression. Typically tequila summons the devil for me.
I have a question that I haven’t seen posed yet. Where would this advertising manager be working with folks that are Satanically oppressed in the manner he describes? In what capacity is he working with them? What qualifications does he hold to even be a part of the woman with 34 personalities care team?
I do not believe he has seen what he says he has seen, religious testimonies tend to be wild exaggerations at best, but bald faced lies normally. And if he has actually seen these people, he doesn’t need to be feeding into their delusions like that. The only thing that would make his claims the tiniest believable is if he was institutionalized along with the folks he describes, but definitely not treating them.
Must be Charismatics, those fuckers are all frustrated actors, will say, or do anything for attention, like some kids in school, and seem to view church as entertainment.
Christ on a gaming joy stick. I’m going to have to deal with this with only one cuppa?
‘First this: I don't begrudge you personally, as many people just plain don't understand the reality of it, but I'd strongly urge you to consider these things.” A man who more or less sells video games thinking that other people don’t understand reality? THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT DEMONS EVER BOTHER TO POSSESS ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT DEMONS ACTUALLY EXIST. maybe that’s the problem, right there. I mean, everyone knows that immortal, immensely powerful cosmic beings have nothing better to do with eternity then fuck with us.
So amusing. HOW WOULD ANY OF THEM EVEN KNOW? What experience do they have with demons and what motivates them? Maybe it has nothing to do with the chris God at all. Maybe it’s just Loki or Coyote or Maui or Hanuman having some fun. Even Netflix pales in comparison to eternity
But now the company has made it worse. They fired him. Now he’s a victim of religious persecution and you can bet the grifters will encourage him to sue the company so that they can erode civil rights protections or religious people— ironically enough— even further.
PS what are “generational curses”? How does that work exactly with an all powerful God? And again…how would he know?
I think these jackanapes are misusing “generational curses” to promote their magical woo woo Christian nonsense. Black people use the term to mean the damage hundreds of years of chattel slavery caused their population, including physical changes to their bodies that were passed down, mental health issues, to even the continued systemic and individual racism that affects their abilities to survive in our society. Those are generational curses. Other groups of people have them as well, Jewish people for example.
But the generational curses he is talking about is just an attempt to discredit the real generational curses and promote his own magical thinking in the imaginary policeman in the sky.
I cannot think of any NT references, but these are from the OT and characteristically repetitious.
Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 34:7
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Numbers 14:18
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Deuteronomy 5:9
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Oh, you mean THOSE generational curses. I didn’t know you were going to count THOSE generational curses. I thought he meant that God was cursing people with the things that he didn’t like. That wouldn’t be fair. That would be like murdering everybody on the planet just because somebody committed a couple of sins, and that would include the little babies who couldn’t even if they wanted to.
If you can’t see Facebook posts, this is a response to Candace Cameron-Burre (Kirk Cameron’s fundy sister) saying she doesn’t want anyone to watch scary movies in her house because it’s a portal for demons. The response explains that the religious people are taught from early childhood that their regular human emotions are not regular human emotions but rather religious fights with the devil.
I think it fits this story perfectly. The advertising manager assumes all these people managing mental health issues, or even just average mental wellness, are dealing with satanic possession or, as he says, oppression. To tout that you saved a woman from 34 personalities AND taking medication is just twisted. It’s giving RFK Jr. eugenics rhetoric. Stop, just stop. If people need medication to feel well and have medical supervision and support, then leave them alone. You wouldn’t work to make type 1 diabetes patients stop taking insulin. Don’t make people with mental health diseases stop taking theirs. Fuck!
Great video. This is why I can’t be bothered to talk to these type of religious people. Waste of my time and energy. Also, as a horror movie LOVING, childless (but happily married) cat lady, I think I might just be their worst nightmare. Most horror movies are HILARIOUS and I find them comforting.
Too bad that xtians waste so much time on things like this instead of real issues their savior spoke of like feeding, clothing and housing the needy. Did they forget what the penalty was for ignoring these needs?
The Christer will undoubtedly sue for religious discrimination and persecution. It's the only card the followers of the almighty fictional deity have when reality collides with their carefully constructed mass delusion.
Do they deny The Who dunnit murder mystery board games? These are a stalwart of party games for generations, and people who have had murdered family members might be exposed. (Not trying to insult those here who have experience this trauma) Still, these games are all around and have been forever. Exploding kittens, most DnD type role play games, hell even Risk all deal in things like murder, genocide, death and destruction. Just because the theme is Satan or demons doesn’t make the game more dangerous or triggering.
If people don’t like the theming of the game, then it just isn’t for them, you don’t get to decide it isn’t for anyone. Mind yo business.
"we've walked with one lady who was diagnosed with 32 distinct personalities as a result of horrific occultic abuse, and she eventually was one whole, complete individual, healed by Jesus"
Sure, Jan.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm schizophrenic
And so am I!
Really, you do not understand the purposes of poetry. I have to explain everything to everybody! No one has any pity for me.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m schizophrenic
And I am too.
Sure, if one wants rhyming poetry. ;-)
Violets are purple.
Roses are red,
Violets are purple.
I love you
Like I love maple syrple.
So very woke!
Is that a What About Bob reference? Hell yeah.

Making a joke of a mental illness? Not cool.
Living with mental illness makes it okay.....kinda like when I tell I woman I'm crazy for her, then produce documentation. ;-)
Only if you are the schizophrenic. But you still can’t make jokes about my depression.
I wouldn't make jokes about *your* depression...I don't know you¹. I'll make whatever jokes I want about my depression, anxiety, post-concussive, etc....i paid the price for the Right to do so in a desert half a world away.
(¹ Nor do I want to, you seem quite the enema nozzle. Have a day.🙂)
You agree with me, then insult me. 🤔
Another xtian claim not backed by evidence. Dismissed without evidence.
Even worse. The person apparently told her to stop taking her meds.
Of course they did, these douche nozzles (like Tom Cruise, to Brook Shields on her post-partum depression.) live to cause more harm in people's lives.
And yet, despite his expertise, he worked (past tense) as a web page advertising admin instead of a licensed professional health worker. Who'd a thunk it?
I blame Reagan, those people belong in an institution.
Was her name George Glass, by any chance?

The Satanic Panic never really went away, it just went underground until religious bigotry gained power again.
It’s almost like we never moved on from the Satanic Panic or Ronald Reagan…unbelievable and embarrassing as a nation.

And it's been OUT a lot more lately, owing to a certain occupant of the White House.
Absolutely. He’s weaponized these looney tunes. He has to. Now the J6 rioters, criminals, and pedos will get a payout to do it all over again.
That's why I say that executed traitors don't get pardons or payouts.
Pre-CISE-ly! 🎯
Same as it ever was.
To said ad mgr...
Satan is no more real than Jesus. Chillax.
But-but-but ... they said SATAN! EEEEK! 😱😱😱
My answer to that hasn't changed. The people deserve respect only as far as they respect me. Their beliefs are irrational and have no basis in fact, and thus deserve NO RESPECT.
The trolling name is to prove their point.
Chilled axes ("Chillaxes") are definitely real, though, though such a situation makes it a bit more difficult to chop wood. Good that you mentioned them, as their existence contrasts with the non-existence of both Satan and Jesus./s
You’re not being fair here. Satan is every bit is real as Jesus. So there!

Mr. Mustard, in the library, with a candlestick.
Have you ever been able to stop an imaginary enemy? I think not.
I have a question that I haven’t seen posed yet. Where would this advertising manager be working with folks that are Satanically oppressed in the manner he describes?

It's probably members of his church.
It's ironic, when you think about it. He and his Christian friends play out make-believe scenes about demons...but this game? Too far!

Actually they are so far-removed from reality they probably would do so.

You just gotta know that any message that starts out with "As a follower of Jesus ..." isn't gonna end well.
OT headline at Christian Post: “The AI data center boom is coming to your town. Here’s what the Bible says about it.”
My gasts are flabbered.
The bible probably said THE EXACT SAME THING about that nuclear power plant that went in near the county line, right?
I commented something to the effect that data centers surely weren’t as bad as iron chariots.
Are those next to the "Biblical principles for investing your money" articles?
“So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.”
—Bertrand Russell, English mathematician, philosopher, and peace activist
"That is really stretching what is in the Bible badly written verses to idiotic dimensions!"
That is their specialty.
I thought AI was the new god of everything, and now you tell me I am worshipping fake deity.
Simple rule of thumb: if you worship a deity, you worship a false deity.
Are you sure? What about my neighbours cats? Are they false too?
All rules have exceptions.
All hail our feline overlords!
"Keep in mind it's not over religion, but reality."
Well, at least he's admitting his religion isn't part of reality.
"In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point."

Yeah, that sentence leapt out at me too.

Happy Birthday to Cher. The icon turns 80 today.

They say we're old and we don't know
But she can still put on a show
Well I don't know if she'll still sing
But I know she's worth a lot of bling....
🎵She's got loot, babe...🎵
Cher is 80?
I'm getting fucking old.
The Christer will undoubtedly sue for religious discrimination and persecution. It's the only card the followers of the almighty fictional deity have when reality collides with their carefully constructed mass delusion.
