Woman Said she Redirected Tornado to Another Neighborhood When God Gave her authority over winds

71. What you did say (which I consider opinion not a claim) was:

The fact that it and others of the same ilk are not routinely treated like that outside some left-leaning internet forums like this one is precisely why those who definitely are on the vanguard of theocracy get to keep pushing their anti-science bronze age regressive nonsense onto a supposedly secular society,

(pause for cigarette break)

because almost everyone is too scared of the usual vicious Christian backlash, or too cowed by convention-driven "respect" for religious claptrap, to call a delusion a delusion.

You seem miffed at "left-leaning internet forums like this one". Why is that?

To answer your questions, I wouldn't call her deluded any more than I would call that statement deluded. Whether she is mentally ill or not, I leave to professionals. I suspect she's gullible, ignorant and needy. Just mho of course.

As to theocracy, its core component is political and social control through the harnessing of religion. To what end? Hint: it's not salvation. In any event, it will not appear riding on the backs of some poor woman cursing clouds. It begins with the classification of humans into groups, proceeds to demonizing one or more of those groups, and is consolidated by elevating those within the selected groups. By all measures, this woman is counterproductive to that end.

Now, how much did you bet?
