Bad2g4e Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 How does one deal with modern day "prophets?" I deconverted a year and a half ago, and a 'prophet,' just sent me a "god said, do this" message on Facebook. I'd be lying if I said, he didn't spike my anxiety, a little. I don't believe him. I'd just like to know how to handle people like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ ficino ♦ Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Some clown prophecied that Trump would win in a "landslide." I hear that now Trump claims he's won in a landslide. And he can do that when he gets to make up his own facts. Until then, a Clinton edge of more than 2 million votes does not a Trump landslide make. Prophecy false. Prophet needs to be stoned to death according to Deuteronomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted November 30, 2016 Super Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2016 Welcome! In answer to your question, first, my one on one response to him would be "bite me." Second, you delete him from Facebook and your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible responses: 1) I do not believe you. 2) You pretend to be more than you are. 3) Tell your sky fairy to contact me directly instead of using a chucklehead to convey his message. 3) Fuck off. Of course, you can also tag him in Facebook as ignore so that his posts won't show up on your feed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castiel233 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 To add, I have lived through a fair amount of end of days prophecy. Every few years we get new prophets proclaiming this is the real thing...repent, repent and send us your money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, for the love of the FSM, respond to him with #3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I just ignore them but if I couldn't, I'd say "Show me the evidence. I want tangible, testable, independently verifiable, observable, measurable evidence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
