Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Melvin U had it right
This isn't an answer to either of my questions, so let's try again.
1. Do you consider yourself a prophet?
2. Do you believe that you have an unusually close or intense connection with God?
Both questions can be answered with a simple yes or no.

I said yes.
Do you hold a prophet in higher status than the SoM?
Do you place God above him?
If so, you are mistaken on both accounts.
If I am a member of an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon, and I generally make an effort to treat others well, which master am I serving?
If the tribesman has not been made aware of the SoM and his commands, then the line has not been drawn for him.
Nobody wins the game without losing many times, and you can’t win the game until you realize you’re in it and losing.
When I say the score will be settled, all I mean is that I will provide more clarity to the game and it will be harder to opt out.
It sure seems like Craig is promising biblical retribution which can only mean that he believes Trump is the anti-christ come to end the world
I kinda thought he thought he was batting for the other team but this makes a lot of sense

Only for those who wisely choose to play the game.
People like D2, who relentlessly mock those with faith, will find less social comfort in their position. I’m very much looking forward to this.

Yeah man, I think adults who believe in Santa are morons. Trembling in my boots, man, is your imaginary hell friend gonna take me away to some far away place?
I said yes.

I never said anything to suggest that I held prophets in higher regard than deities.
Ok. You are a prophet. I have a bunch of questions.
1) Are you recognized as a prophet by any organized religious body such as a church?
2) Are you the sort of prophet who predicts things about the future? If so, have you made any prophecies yet that have proven to be true based on empirical evidence? If so, can you give us some details?
3) How do you receive communications from God? Are the communications auditory, visionary, telepathic, or some combination of all three? How often do you receive the communications?
4) If God communicates with you using words, would you say that God's messages to you are linguistically similar to your messages to us? How specific are God's messages to you? For example, did God tell you to spread his message on 2+2, or would that sort of thing be too specific for a message from God?
5) Are you able to induce responses from God more or less when you want, or do you have to wait around until God decides the time is right to communicate with you?
6) Why do you believe that you were chosen to be a prophet? Do you have followers?
7) Do you routinely tell people that you are a prophet? If so, do a non-trivial percentage of your acquaintances think you are mentally ill? (The last question is not an attack. I ask only because I imagine that a true prophet in the modern world would strike most people as mentally ill.)

What do you mean when you say you personally will provide more clarity to the game?
How is it possible to opt out of the game now? You more or less said that, if you have been exposed to Christianity, then you either serve God or you serve Satan. No exceptions. That doesn't seem like the sort of game you can opt out of.
7) Have you ever been a patient in a psychiatric hospital?
Craig, you’ve been at this for over ten years… I’ve looked at the threads you’ve started in the past. This isn’t new… What are you doing?
I just wish you guys would stop creating extremely niche and bizarre scenarios where I am then tasked with figuring out the most ethical manner in which to proceed. Ffs.

This whole "don't accuse people for being mad" thing is a bit ridiculous.
Half the people who post here are mad, And the other half call them out on it,
Let’s let things play out a little.
Do you remember when I mentioned that the path is hidden and in a fog?
People who seek the level of clarity you seem to be seeking have already decided to opt out. When I talk about adding more clarity to the game, it’s at a very low level. I should probably find a different word.

Subjectivity always allows you the freedom to opt out.
I’m fine to stop posting about this, but I know D2 can’t stop himself from clicking and these posts annoy him.
Still, everything I say is the truth. I will deliver on my words.

I guess that means you aren't going to answer my questions.
I don't even know what you mean by "opting out."
I have seen the end of the world and the resurrection. I wasn’t prepared and was spat out.
I will see it again soon and will be accepted.
Spat out and then accepted later?
This doesn't sound like any form of Christianity that I'm familiar with. (I obviously am not a theologist or religious leader, so maybe I'm missing something.)
